Madison Lantana TX FAQ

As part of the larger Lantana community, Madison residents have access to:

• Five community swimming pools, including nearby Lantana North Pool
• A splash pad at the South Pool
• Two fitness centers
• Tennis courts and multi-sport courts
• Miles of hike-and-bike trails and greenbelt, with entrances to the nature trail nearby off Stacee Lane
• Numerous parks and playgrounds
• The 18-hole Lantana Golf Club and clubhouse (private membership)
• A dedicated pickleball facility
• Two community centers with meeting spaces

The community also hosts resident events throughout the year, including outdoor concerts, festivals, and seasonal gatherings.

Madison does not include golf-course-frontage lots. Instead, its distinguishing lot feature is greenbelt: a number of homesites along Kimbro Avenue and Mitchell Court back directly to green space rather than to another home. Lantana Golf Club is still accessible to Madison residents as part of the community, and membership is optional and billed separately from standard HOA dues — contact Lantana Golf Club directly for current pricing.

Madison sits within Lantana in southern Denton County, roughly 8 to 10 miles south of Denton, with access to major routes including FM 407, FM 2499, and US-377. Lantana is approximately 35 miles from both downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth, about 16 miles from DFW International Airport, and about 30 miles from Dallas Love Field, depending on route and traffic. Everyday shopping and dining are close by in Highland Village and along the corridor near Lantana, including Marty B’s, Torchy’s Tacos, Christina’s Mexican Restaurant, and Blue Goose Cantina.

Madison tends to attract growing and established families who want a genuinely large home — closed sales in our 3-year sample ranged from about 3,315 to 5,387 square feet, with 3 to 6 bedrooms — paired with one of the most convenient school-day commutes in all of Lantana. Because Madison sits directly next to Blanton Elementary and Harpool Middle School, families with kids at those two campuses are especially drawn here.

The mix of three builders (Highland Homes, Ashton Woods Homes, and Newport Home Builders) gives buyers more floor-plan variety than a single-builder section, while pool properties in roughly two-thirds of closed sales and greenbelt-backing lots along Kimbro Avenue and Mitchell Court round out the neighborhood’s appeal.

Yes — Madison is a strong option for relocating families, particularly those with elementary- or middle-school-aged kids, given its direct proximity to Blanton Elementary and Harpool Middle School. A few reasons it tends to work well for relocation buyers:

• Established, move-in-ready homes. Built primarily between 2009 and 2014, Madison is a completed neighborhood rather than an active construction zone.
• Space to grow into. With most homes running 3,300 to 5,400+ square feet and 3 to 6 bedrooms, Madison suits relocating families who need room for home offices, guest space, and everyday family life.
• An unmatched school-day commute. Few Lantana neighborhoods sit as close to Blanton Elementary and Harpool Middle School as Madison does.
• Full access to Lantana’s amenities. Pools, parks, trails, and community events, without having to seek those things out elsewhere.
• Denton ISD schools. Confirm current campus assignment for a specific Madison address before finalizing a decision.

Denton County property taxes run meaningfully higher than the national average, so buyers coming from lower-tax states should factor that into their overall cost comparison, not just the home price itself.

Lantana is not a designated 55+ community, but it continues to appeal to many 50+ buyers and seniors who want a well-maintained Denton County neighborhood with convenient amenities, attractive streetscapes, and an active community feel. As a master-planned golf course community in southwestern Denton County, Lantana offers a lifestyle that can work well for empty nesters, downsizers, retirees, and multigenerational households.

For 50+ buyers considering Lantana, home selection often comes down to lifestyle fit. Some prefer single-story homes, lower-maintenance yards, homes near trails or amenities, or properties with flexible guest space for visiting family.

Is Lantana a pet-friendly community?

Yes. Lantana is a walkable, trail-heavy master-planned community, and pets are very much part of everyday life here. With miles of hike-and-bike trails, greenbelts, sidewalks throughout Madison and the surrounding sections, and multiple neighborhood parks, dog owners have plenty of room to walk, jog, and exercise pets without leaving the community.

Are there dog parks or off-leash areas in Lantana?

Lantana’s trails, greenbelts, and neighborhood parks are popular for walking dogs, but leash rules apply throughout the community’s common areas and sidewalks, consistent with the Lantana Community Association’s general conduct guidelines.

For dedicated off-leash dog parks, several are within a short drive of Madison, including options in nearby Highland Village, Flower Mound, and Corinth — a convenient option for pet owners who want a fenced, off-leash space in addition to Lantana’s on-leash trail system.

Does the Lantana HOA have pet rules or restrictions?

Madison homes fall under the Lantana Community Association, and like most HOA communities, there are typically guidelines around leash requirements in common areas, pet waste cleanup, and general nuisance/noise provisions.  Some HOAs also include breed, size, or per-household pet limits in their governing documents, however Lantana’s governing documents do not currently have breed or size restrictions for its homeowners.

Pets are a big part of daily life in Lantana — you’ll see dogs on nearly every evening walk through Madison and along the community trails. If you’re relocating with pets, we always recommend pulling the current HOA pet guidelines as part of your due diligence, right alongside architectural standards and resale certificate review, so there are no surprises after you move in.

Where can pet owners find vets, groomers, and pet supplies near Madison?

Madison’s location within Lantana puts residents within a short drive of veterinary clinics, groomers, boarding facilities, and pet supply retailers in nearby Highland Village, Argyle, Flower Mound, and Denton. Several local pet-sitting and dog-walking services also serve the Lantana area directly, which is a popular option for residents who travel or work long hours.

As with any pet-related provider, buyers and residents should confirm current hours, availability, and services directly, since offerings can change.

Is Lantana a good fit for buyers with larger or multiple dogs?

Lantana’s trail network, open green spaces, and lower-density neighborhood feel tend to appeal to buyers with active dogs or multiple pets. That said, yard size, fencing, and lot orientation vary significantly across Madison and the rest of Lantana, so buyers should walk the actual property with their pets’ needs in mind — not just the neighborhood as a whole. 

Several of our Seay Realty Group team members have dogs in their prospective neighborhoods in Lantana, and all agree that the K9 community in Lantana is actively thriving.  Just ask Maddie (our marketing director’s rottweiler), Penny (our executive assistant’s miniature dachshund) or Gary (our listing coordinator’s lab)- Lantana has some added amenities for pet owners, such as conveniently located disposal bags and trash containers located throughout the trails and along the sidewalks.

Seay Realty Group can help pet-owning buyers narrow in on Madison listings with the yard space, fencing, and proximity to trails or greenbelts that fit their pets’ lifestyle.
