Property tax · $804/mo 1.61% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Denton County, TX
Insurance & upkeep · $640/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Argyle is a small city in Denton County where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and renting is far less common than across the county. Household incomes run well above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Home values and rents are both high, and most adults hold a four-year degree. Many people work from home at least some of the time.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, banks, insurance and property, and shops. Across Denton County, the largest employers include Lewisville ISD, Denton ISD and the University of North Texas. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than a year ago, though the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Texas Motor Speedway, a race track, is a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to AT&T Stadium, a large stadium, and to the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, a museum. Winters are mild and brief, summers are hot, and rain falls through much of the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Argyle’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Denton County and the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metro.
