Double Oak Realtor, planned with real numbers.

Double Oak is a Denton County town of 3,051 people (July 2025 Census estimate) on about 2.5 square miles between Flower Mound, Highland Village and Copper Canyon, with Town Hall at 320 Waketon Road. Its population has barely moved since the 2020 census counted 3,054. Recent listings in The Oaks, Cross Timbers and the Estates of Double Oak show homes built between 1980 and 2000 on lots of about 1.1 to 1.2 acres. The volunteer fire department still runs the July 4 parade from Simmons Road down Cross Timbers Drive to John B. Wright Park.

For tax year 2025 a Double Oak home in Lewisville ISD paid about 1.48% combined (town 0.178384, Lewisville ISD 1.1178, Denton County 0.185938 per $100), and about 1.57% in Denton ISD (1.2069). On an $850,000 home at 1.48% that is about $12,600 a year, roughly $1,050 a month, before the town's 2% homestead exemption ($5,000 minimum), its $50,000 over-65 and disabled exemption and the state's $140,000 school exemption. For 2026 the town proposed raising its rate to 0.195296, while Lewisville ISD lowered its rate to 1.0778.

Double Oak lots are large, and that is where the hidden costs live. Ask for the septic system's service history, at least a year of Cross Timbers water bills, and the survey, then walk the back of the lot after a rain if you can. If a home is near FM 407 and Simmons Road, read the town's posted plans for the proposed shopping center, since it would change traffic on that corner once built.

If you buy here, budget for the land as well as the house. Listings such as one in the Estates of Double Oak show aerobic septic systems, and the water comes from Cross Timbers Water Supply Corporation, which in October 2026 was in Stage 2 restrictions with an even and odd address watering schedule after demand passed 5 million gallons a day. Ask for the septic service records and a season of water bills before you finish your option period, and you will know the real monthly cost of the property.

2026 listings in Double Oak included homes built in 1980 and 1983, so if yours is from that era, the condition of the original systems has a big say in your price. Before you list, have the aerobic septic serviced, get the roof and HVAC ages on paper, and fix any drainage that sends water toward the slab; on clay soil, a buyer's inspector will look for foundation movement first. From my construction years: updating light fixtures, paint and hardware in a 1985 house costs little and changes how the photos read, while a full remodel right before selling rarely pays back.
