A 2009 Texas House resolution named Roanoke the Unique Dining Capital of Texas.
The city counts more than 60 restaurants, mostly on Oak Street and US 377.
Roanoke, a city mostly in Denton County with a small portion in Tarrant County, counted 9,665 residents in the 2020 census; the Census Bureau’s July 2025 estimate is 10,931, on about 6.9 square miles. Areas are described by subdivision names and street locations; boundaries are approximate, and a 76262 address doesn’t mean a home is inside city limits. Seventeen Lakes’ city-limits status wasn’t confirmed. Trophy Club neighborhoods, Chadwick Farms and Sendera Ranch aren’t in Roanoke and aren’t listed. Prices are dated snapshots, not values: the city median is Redfin’s for July 2026 (the same page also shows a different average, and Orchard reported a 30-day median of $660,000); Fairway Ranch, Briarwyck and Highlands Glen figures are one brokerage’s active listings viewed October 10, 2026, not closed sales. Builder names, build years and home counts come partly from real estate blogs and brokerage sites. HOA, PID and MUD status wasn’t confirmed for any area, and no MUD inside city limits was found. Tax rates are 2026 adopted rates from the Denton County Tax Office’s tax-rate table (City of Roanoke $0.326182, Denton County $0.183394, Northwest ISD $1.0638), before exemptions and any special district; Tarrant County rates for the small Tarrant portion weren’t researched. A second check couldn’t open the city’s FY2027 tax notices or find the school rate in district documents, where a June proposal was $1.0702, so confirm both with the county tax office. The dining title is from a 2009 Texas House resolution, as described by the city; restaurant counts are from the city as reported by Community Impact. Utility providers vary by address. School districts are listed at the district level only; Roanoke is served by Northwest ISD, and campus assignment must be confirmed by address.

From a Texas and Pacific Rail Stop to a Restaurant Row and a City of 10,900
Roanoke sits on rolling Grand Prairie land near the Eastern Cross Timbers, where Denton and Henrietta creeks meet, inside the 1841 Peters Colony grant.
Denton County is crossed by three north–south soil belts: Blackland Prairie in the east, the Eastern Cross Timbers through the middle and the Grand Prairie in the west. Roanoke lies in the southern part of the county in the western prairie belt, on gently rolling land cut by several streams. That soil and terrain later suited ranching along with cotton and wheat, according to a Denton County historical study.
The land became part of the Peters Colony after William S. Peters and his partners received a Republic of Texas land grant in 1841; the venture operated as the Texian Land and Immigration Company. Its agents recruited settlers mainly from Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri. The county study adds that German and Swedish settlers later came to this corner of the county, including the Petersen brothers, Swedish immigrants who arrived in 1868.
Twenty households from Missouri led by Louis and Charles Medlin settled near Denton Creek in 1847, decades before Roanoke existed.
The Handbook of Texas places the first settlement in the Roanoke area on Travis Wright’s original land grant in 1847, when twenty households from Missouri led by Louis and Charles Medlin settled near the confluence of Denton and Henrietta creeks. Called Medlin Center, the site flooded whenever the creeks rose. In 1879 settlers moved about a mile south to higher ground, where the community became known as Garden Center or Garden Valley.
A second nearby community, Elizabeth, often called Elizabethtown, had a blacksmith, a church, a saloon and a post office that the Handbook dates to 1870 through 1881. The city’s timeline notes that much of the original Medlin settlement now lies in the Town of Trophy Club. Both communities faded once the railroad passed them by, and many residents and businesses moved to the new rail town. An Elizabeth Cemetery marker survives today.
The Texas and Pacific Railway platted Roanoke in 1881 on its Sherman–Fort Worth line, and local history credits a railroad surveyor with the name.
Roanoke was platted in 1881 as the Texas and Pacific extended its line between Sherman and Fort Worth; the 90-mile segment through Roanoke was finished in May 1881. The railroad bought land from local settlers and laid out a town roughly halfway between Fort Worth and Denton. Its stock pens made Roanoke a shipping point for large area ranches, and wheat and cotton soon followed the cattle onto the rails.
City history and a 2008 state historical marker say a railroad surveyor named the town for his home of Roanoke, Virginia; the Handbook also records an early spelling, “Rawranoke.” Gus Wiggs became the first postmaster in 1882. In 1886 stonemason Lawrence Olson built the Silver Spur Saloon at 114 N. Oak St. By 1890, the Handbook reports, Roanoke had 350 residents, four churches, a school and a cotton gin.
Oak Street grew into the commercial heart of a wheat, cotton and cattle district, surviving a 1910 fire and gaining a state highway in 1932.
The Continental State Bank opened in 1906 to serve area ranchers, a Masonic hall followed in 1908 and the Roanoke Weekly News began in 1909. In 1910 fire destroyed the stores on Oak Street’s west side; with no fire truck, men fought it with buckets, and the buildings were soon rebuilt. Local investors chartered the Farmer’s Gin Company in 1913, and a hardware store went up at 200 N. Oak St. in 1916.
By 1914 the Handbook counts four churches, a newspaper, a grain elevator and an oil and gas company. The Roanoke Roller Mill, which shipped flour to Fort Worth, burned in 1925. In 1930 the town of about 400 had three groceries, a cafe, a theater and a truck line. Northwest Highway, today’s State Highway 114, opened through Roanoke in 1932 on an unfinished railroad grade.
Voters incorporated Roanoke on November 7, 1933, and in December 1948 the town joined Haslet, Justin and Rhome to form Northwest ISD.
A November 7, 1933, election held at the Continental Bank incorporated Roanoke, and in April 1934 the city adopted a commission government and elected its first mayor, which explains why sources cite both years. A 1934 Public Works Administration contract of about $22,000 launched a city water system. By 1940 Roanoke had 485 residents and 32 businesses. In 1946, golfer Byron Nelson bought his 630-acre Fairway Ranch near the county line.
On December 8, 1948, voters in Haslet, Justin, Rhome and Roanoke approved consolidating their schools into Northwest ISD, which began operating in 1949 with 743 students across five schools; Fairview joined in 1949. That same year Roanoke became the first town in Denton County with dial telephone service, for 280 subscribers, and bought its first fire truck, a 1923 American LaFrance. A fire hall that doubled as City Hall followed in 1949.
Roanoke held near 500 to 600 residents for decades, then grew quickly as Dallas–Fort Worth spread toward it in the 1980s and 1990s.
Natural gas arrived in 1950, when Lone Star Gas installed 115 meters and Roanoke counted 511 residents, and a sewer system of about $60,000 was begun in 1956. The Handbook reports the population reached 585 by the early 1960s and stayed there until the 1980s, when its location between Dallas and Fort Worth drove growth. By 1990, eight manufacturers in town made concrete, cabinets, fiberglass boats and aircraft supplies.
The public library opened in 1980, and the city created its first police department in 1991. The 1935 school building was replaced in 1992 by a new Roanoke Elementary on the same Walnut Street site, used for schools since 1882. Byron Nelson, who won 11 straight PGA Tour events in 1945, lived at Fairway Ranch until he died there on September 26, 2006, at 94. The ranch land later became a neighborhood.
A 2004 downtown plan, the restored 1886 Rock Building, a 2007 merger with Marshall Creek and a 2009 dining title reshaped Roanoke.
In June 2004 the city received the first phase of a long-term downtown redevelopment plan, followed by form-based zoning and Oak Street infrastructure work. That same year, the Oak Street Rock Building, the former Silver Spur Saloon, was donated to the city; restoration ran from May to November 2007, and the building now houses the Roanoke Visitor Center and Museum at 114 N. Oak St., open several afternoons a week.
In 2007, Roanoke absorbed the neighboring Town of Marshall Creek, a small community incorporated in 1983. The Central Roanoke Historic District, centered on Oak Street, joined the National Register of Historic Places on May 29, 2008. In 2009, a Texas House resolution named Roanoke the “Unique Dining Capital of Texas,” citing 39 restaurants in a town of about 6,450 residents at the time.
A new City Hall at 500 S. Oak St. opened in 2019, Oak Street earned national planning recognition in 2020 and the population passed 10,900 by 2025.
The Silver Spur Saloon building carries a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark marker, dedicated around 2009 or 2010 depending on the source. Construction of a new City Hall at the south end of Oak Street began in March 2017, and the city held its ribbon cutting on March 2, 2019. Styled after classic Texas courthouses, the building displays the town’s 1923 American LaFrance fire truck in its lobby area.
In 2020 the American Planning Association named Oak Street a Great Street, crediting the downtown plan, form-based code and a mixed-use City Center anchored by City Hall. The Census Bureau counted 9,665 residents in 2020, up from 5,962 in 2010, and estimated 10,931 on July 1, 2025. The 29th Celebrate Roanoke filled Oak Street on October 10, 2026, as the town marked another year on its restaurant row.
Compiled from the Texas State Historical Association Handbook of Texas, a Denton County historical study of Roanoke, the City of Roanoke’s history and timeline pages, Texas Historical Commission markers listed in the Historical Marker Database, Texas Legislature Online, Northwest ISD history pages, the American Planning Association, the U.S. Census Bureau, Roanoke City Council minutes and news and golf coverage of Byron Nelson. Population figures are total census counts and Census Bureau estimates. Sources disagree on several details: some cite 1934 for incorporation (the year the first government was elected); 1990 and 2000 population figures differ by source and aren’t shown; the historic district’s listing is dated 2007 on one city page and 2008 elsewhere; and the Rock Building’s landmark marker is dated 2009 or 2010. One account credits settlers from Virginia rather than a railroad surveyor with the name, and the Virginia city was called Big Lick until 1882. The 2009 dining title was confirmed as a Texas House resolution; its final legislative status wasn’t checked. Specific Native nations that used the area weren’t identified. Effects of Lake Grapevine, DFW Airport, AllianceTexas and Texas Motor Speedway on Roanoke weren’t documented in the sources reviewed.

What Roanoke homes actually sold for each month. In a small city of about 11,000 residents (Census estimate, 2025), with homes near downtown and newer neighborhoods on the edges, a handful of higher-priced sales can move this line a long way.
Roanoke’s median moves with which homes sold, and sales are few. Redfin’s three-month median ending July 2026 was about $712,600, up about 5.6 percent, while a 12-month brokerage median of 145 sales was about $580,000. Read the trend, not one month.
An older home near downtown and a larger home in a newer neighborhood can land on this one line in the same month. The chart is not your comp. Your comps match your size, age, lot, condition and school district.
Texas is a non-disclosure state, so portal prices are models. This is MLS. Ask for the actual comparable sales, and confirm the address is inside Roanoke, since the 76262 ZIP code also covers homes in neighboring cities and some in Keller ISD.
Days on market describes how buyers behaved. Redfin reported a median of about 38 days to sell in the three months ending July 2026, with homes selling at about 97.6 percent of list. About 19 percent sold above list, yet about 39 percent of listings cut price.
The first two weeks bring the most traffic a listing will ever get. If they pass without an offer, that is pricing information. Acting in week three beats acting in week ten.
When homes sit longer, there’s usually room to negotiate on price, repairs or closing costs. A listing that has waited a while is usually where the negotiating room is, and sellers facing updates often accept repair credits; ask what’s on the table.
Under 10 showings means buyers are deciding quickly. Rising counts mean people are walking through and walking away, which is a different problem from nobody looking at all.
This separates a pricing problem from a presentation problem. Plenty of showings and no offer usually means something specific is putting people off, and that is fixable without dropping the price.
High showings-to-pending means you can be selective without losing homes. Read it against days on market: low on both is a hot market, high on both means the leverage is yours.
Check how many homes closed before you read anything into the price or days-on-market charts. Redfin counted about 43 sales in the three months ending July 2026. In a market this small, a few higher-priced sales can move the median more than the market did.
Your competition includes resales in Trophy Club, Keller, Northlake and north Fort Worth, plus new construction nearby offering rate buydowns. Price against true comparables and have your permit and repair records ready.
Inventory runs from older homes near downtown to newer neighborhoods. Confirm city limits, the county, the school district and the full tax bill early, because they affect your monthly cost more than the price chart does.
Charts supplied by NTREIS via 10K Research and Marketing and update automatically. Data reflects residential activity reported to the MLS and may be revised as late-reported sales come in. Roanoke lies mostly in Denton County with a small part in Tarrant County, and the 76262 ZIP code crosses into neighboring cities, so MLS city fields may not match the city boundary. The $712,600 median, days on market, sale-to-list and price-drop figures and sales count are Redfin’s three-month figures through July 2026; the $580,000 figure is a 12-month brokerage median. Low sales volume makes monthly figures volatile. These charts do not separate older homes from newer construction, or the Northwest ISD and Keller ISD parts of the 76262 area. Market statistics describe the area as a whole and are not a substitute for a comparative market analysis on a specific property. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so publicly available sale prices elsewhere are estimates rather than recorded figures.

Pick a purchase year and the price fills in. If you own here, type over it with what you actually paid. This calculator runs on the Denton County index, the federal repeat-sales measure for the county that holds most of Roanoke. A home bought in 2015 is worth about twice its price on the index, with the biggest jump between 2020 and 2022 and a slight dip from 2024 to 2025.
Bought here? Tap the number and enter what you paid.
Federal house price index growth, indexed to the purchase year, where the purchase year equals 100.
From 2015 to 2025 the Denton County index doubled, with a 38 percent jump between 2020 and 2022.
It has been nearly flat since 2022 and slipped 0.9 percent in 2025.
A 12-month tally of 145 Roanoke sales through July 2026 put the median near $580,000.
Redfin’s three-month median of $712,643 rests on few sales, so it swings more than a 12-month figure.
Owners who bought before 2021 carry large gains; many who bought from 2022 on have little, since the county index is flat.
Indexes leave out most jumbo and cash sales, so value higher-end homes from true comparables.
For 2026, the city adopted $0.326182, Northwest ISD $1.0638 and Denton County $0.183394, about $1.57 per $100 before exemptions.
City exemption amounts weren’t confirmed, so no full bill is shown.
Growth rates are the FHFA All-Transactions House Price Index, annual values 2009 through 2025: Denton County, Texas (FRED series ATNHPIUS48121A, base 2000 equals 100), the State of Texas (TXSTHPI) and the United States (USSTHPI). State and national figures are annual averages of published quarters. The Denton County series recorded 121.58 in 2009, 148.00 in 2015, 282.30 in 2022, 299.85 in 2024 and 297.21 in 2025. FHFA describes county indices as developmental and subject to revision, and the annual series does not cover 2026. FHFA’s Dallas-Plano-Irving division, which includes Denton County, was essentially flat year over year in the second quarter of 2026. No Roanoke-specific index was used, and a 2015 market value for Roanoke wasn’t obtained. The prefilled dollar figures are derived and illustrative, not published: they apply the Denton County index to a $580,000 anchor based on a brokerage’s count of 145 Roanoke sales from July 2025 to July 2026. Redfin’s median sale price was $712,643 for the three months ending July 2026 on 43 July sales; its page summary also cites a different average that Redfin doesn’t define, and other sources show other figures. The 76262 ZIP code includes Trophy Club, Westlake and other areas. The index is built from conforming loans and excludes jumbo lending and all-cash purchases. Equity figures assume a 30-year fixed mortgage at that year’s Freddie Mac annual average rate (2025 approximately 6.6 percent), held to today, with no refinancing, no extra principal and no additional borrowing; the October 8, 2026, Freddie Mac 30-year average was 7.40 percent, up from 6.30 percent a year earlier. They exclude closing costs, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, improvements and selling costs. Tax rates shown are 2026 adopted rates from the Denton County Tax Office’s tax-rate table: City of Roanoke 0.326182, Northwest ISD 1.0638 and Denton County 0.183394. A second check couldn’t open the city’s FY2027 tax notices or find the school rate in district documents, where a June proposal was $1.0702, so confirm both with the county tax office. City exemption amounts weren’t confirmed with the appraisal district, so no full tax bill is shown. The homestead appraisal cap limits increases in a homestead’s taxable appraised value to 10 percent a year and ends on sale. This is an illustration for general reference, not an appraisal, a comparative market analysis, a valuation or investment advice. Past appreciation does not predict future appreciation.

Roanoke is a Denton County city of about 10,900 (Census estimate, July 2025) at SH 114 and US 377. The trade-offs are real: prices well above the state median, a 76262 ZIP code that crosses city lines, no fixed-route transit and new high school boundaries up for a vote.
Estimated Off-Peak Drive Time from Roanoke City Hall
Around Town and Beyond
Estimated minutes off-peak from City Hall at 500 S. Oak St. These are planning estimates, so check a live map before relying on any of them.
A 2009 Texas House resolution named Roanoke the Unique Dining Capital of Texas, and the city now lists more than 60 places to eat.
Most sit on Oak Street or US 377.
The Texas chapter of the American Planning Association named Oak Street a Great Texas Street in 2020.
The Central Roanoke Historic District joined the National Register in 2008.
The city provides water, sewer and Tuesday trash pickup and runs its own police and fire departments.
The Roanoke Public Library is at 308 S. Walnut St.
The Corps of Engineers runs Murrell Park on Grapevine Lake, with a boat ramp, day use and trail access.
The former Marshall Creek Park is now Trophy Club Park, run by the Town of Trophy Club.
The Cade Hotel, a 205-room Hilton Curio hotel with a city convention center at 600 S. Oak St., broke ground October 7, 2026, with completion reported for June 2028.
A 430-space parking garage and Pirate Panda Brewing are also underway, both targeting 2027.
Redfin’s median was $712,643 for the three months ending July 2026, versus about $329,000 statewide. Roanoke isn’t a DCTA member and has no fixed-route bus.
76262 crosses city lines, and Northwest ISD’s 2027–28 high school boundaries go to a vote November 9.
Drive times are planning estimates from Roanoke City Hall based on general route geography, not measured or live traffic; check a live map before you rely on them. Rush hour on SH 114 and I-35W can add 15 to 30 minutes or more. The population figure is the Census Bureau’s July 1, 2025, estimate (10,931); the 2020 Census counted 9,665. The dining title is from a 2009 Texas House resolution as described by the city; a 2025 renewal resolution was filed, and its final status wasn’t confirmed. The Great Texas Street designation is from the Texas chapter of the American Planning Association. City services, library and trash details are from the City of Roanoke. Grapevine Lake details are from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Town of Trophy Club, which warns of low water near its boat ramp. The hotel details are from the city, Community Impact, the Cross Timbers Gazette and Construction Equipment Guide; garage and brewery timelines differ by source. The median is Redfin’s for the three months ending July 2026 on a small number of sales; the statewide figure is Redfin’s for September 2026. Transit details are from DCTA and SPAN, which offers rides by appointment in the Denton County portion of the city. The school boundary change is a proposal until the board votes. School districts are listed at the district level only. No crime, school ranking or flood zone claims are made. This information is provided for general reference and is not a representation about any specific property, commute or future development outcome.

Answered with verified specifics, from the 76262 ZIP code, two counties and 2026 tax rates to Oak Street, Byron Nelson, Grapevine Lake and the new downtown hotel.
Mostly Denton County. Roanoke is primarily a Denton County city, and a small part of it extends into Tarrant County. The city’s finance page links appraisal totals from both the Denton Central Appraisal District and the Tarrant Appraisal District, which reflects the split.
The county matters because it decides which appraisal district values the property, which county tax rate applies and which county offices handle things like vehicle registration and elections.
Most Roanoke homes are in Denton County. If you’re looking near the city’s southern edge, check the appraisal district record for the parcel to see which county it’s in and which taxing units apply before you make an offer.
Not always. City Hall’s address is 500 S. Oak St., Roanoke, TX 76262, but ZIP codes are postal delivery areas that don’t follow city boundaries. Listing sites show “Roanoke, TX 76262” addresses in areas that may sit outside the incorporated city.
City limits decide which city tax rate applies, who provides water and trash service, which permits are needed and which local ordinances apply. A mailing address doesn’t settle any of those.
Before you write an offer, confirm the jurisdiction on the Denton Central Appraisal District record or with the City of Roanoke. It takes a few minutes and can change both the tax bill and the services that come with the home.
Roanoke is served by Northwest ISD, rated B (82) for 2026. City addresses feed Roanoke, Cox or Hughes Elementary. For 2026–27, Roanoke Elementary feeds Medlin Middle School, while Cox and Hughes feed Tidwell Middle School, and both middle schools feed Byron Nelson High School.
Northwest ISD is drawing boundaries for Davis High School, which opens in August 2027. Under the proposal, the part of the Hughes zone south of SH 170 would move to Davis, while Roanoke, Cox and the rest of Hughes stay with Byron Nelson. The board is scheduled to vote on November 9, 2026.
Check any address with the district’s attendance-boundary tool, and recheck after the vote.
For tax year 2026, Denton County’s tax-rate records list these adopted rates per $100 of taxable value: City of Roanoke $0.326182, Denton County $0.183394 and Northwest ISD $1.0638.
Together that’s about $1.57 per $100 for a Denton County home inside the city, before exemptions. The city’s total rate is unchanged from 2025, though more of it now goes to debt service. Northwest ISD’s rate is down from $1.0841 in 2025.
Exemptions lower the taxable value for each unit differently, and the small Tarrant County part of the city uses Tarrant’s county rate. Older figures on some city pages are out of date, and the school rate wasn’t found in district documents, so confirm with the county tax office or the parcel’s tax statement.
Homeowners apply for exemptions through the Denton Central Appraisal District, and the school district’s homestead exemption is set by the state at $140,000, plus $60,000 more for owners 65 or older or disabled, with a school tax ceiling.
A title-company chart has listed a City of Roanoke homestead exemption of 20 percent with a $10,000 minimum and a $40,000 over-65 exemption. That chart isn’t a primary source and may be out of date, and whether the city has adopted an over-65 tax ceiling wasn’t confirmed.
File your homestead with the appraisal district by April 30 of the year after you buy, and check the parcel record to see which exemptions it shows for each taxing unit.
In 2009, a Texas House resolution, H.C.R. No. 188 of the 81st Legislature, named Roanoke the Unique Dining Capital of Texas. The city counted 39 restaurants at the time, in about six square miles.
Today the city’s dining guide cites more than 60 places to eat, most on historic Oak Street and US 377. A 2025 resolution was filed to renew the designation for 10 years; its last recorded action was a committee referral, and its final status wasn’t confirmed.
The title is a designation, not a trademark. It’s why the city builds so much of its identity, and its downtown events, around the Oak Street restaurant row.
Oak Street is Roanoke’s main dining district, with nine blocks of landscaped sidewalks. Restaurants the city names include The Classic at Roanoke, Babe’s Chicken Dinner House, Los Compadres Cantina, Craft & Vine, Hard 8 Barbecue and INZO Italian Kitchen.
Oak and Main, a wood-fired American grill, opened in 2024 in the former Twisted Root space, and The Salven Kitchen, a sandwich cafe, opened in June 2026. Pirate Panda Brewing is under construction at 200 S. Oak St.
Restaurants open and close often, so check the city’s Unique Dining Guide or call ahead for current hours. Parking can be tight on event nights; a 430-space garage is under construction.
Redfin reports a median sale price of $712,643 for the three months ending July 2026, up 5.6 percent from a year earlier, with 43 sales in July and a median of 38 days on market.
Other measures land lower. A local brokerage’s count of 145 sales from July 2025 to July 2026 put the 12-month median near $580,000, and Orchard reported a 30-day median of $660,000. Redfin’s own page summary cites a different average that it doesn’t define.
In a small city where only a few dozen homes sell each month, a handful of higher-priced sales can move the median sharply. Always compare the source and time period, and price a specific home from true comparables.
Redfin rates Roanoke “somewhat competitive,” with a Compete Score of 60 out of 100. In July 2026, homes sold for about 97.6 percent of list price, 19.1 percent sold above list and 38.7 percent of listings had a price drop.
Those numbers describe a market where pricing matters. Well-priced homes can sell near asking, while many others get reduced. Sales rose to 43 in July from 32 a year earlier, and the median time on market fell to 38 days from 48.
Conditions differ by price range and neighborhood. Mortgage rates are part of the picture too: Freddie Mac’s 30-year average was 7.40 percent on October 8, 2026, up from 6.30 percent a year earlier.
Roanoke sits at SH 114 and US 377, a couple of miles east of I-35W. As planning estimates from City Hall in light traffic, DFW International Airport is about 15 to 20 minutes east on SH 114, and Fort Worth Alliance Airport is about 10 to 12 minutes west.
Downtown Fort Worth is roughly 30 to 35 minutes via SH 114 and I-35W, and downtown Dallas roughly 40 to 45 minutes. Southlake Town Square is about 12 minutes east, and Texas Motor Speedway about 10 minutes.
These aren’t measured drive times, and rush hour on SH 114 and I-35W can add 15 to 30 minutes or more. Test your commute at the hours you’ll actually drive it.
Celebrate Roanoke, on the second Saturday in October, fills Oak Street with music stages, a rodeo arena and vendors; the 29th edition was October 10, 2026. Hometown Holiday, on the first Saturday in December, brings a tree lighting, a parade and Santa; the 2026 date is December 5.
The July 3rd All-American Fireworks & Festival runs from 5 to 10 p.m. at City Hall Plaza, and Evenings on Oak Street brings free concerts to Austin Street Plaza on select Thursdays in spring.
The city also lists EggAPalooza, the Roanoke Roundup and a Saturday farmers market. Check the city’s calendar for each year’s dates and parking maps, since Oak Street closes for the big festivals.
Byron Nelson (1912–2006) was a professional golfer who set a record of 11 consecutive PGA Tour wins in 1945. According to the Handbook of Texas, he retired from full-time competition at 34 and bought a ranch in Roanoke.
He bought his Fairway Ranch in 1946 and lived there until he died on September 26, 2006, at 94. The ranch land later became the Fairway Ranch neighborhood, and the street he lived on was renamed Eleven Straight Lane for his 1945 streak.
Business State Highway 114 through Roanoke is named Byron Nelson Boulevard, and Northwest ISD’s Byron Nelson High School carries his name. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974.
Roanoke is named after Roanoke, Virginia. According to the city’s history, the Texas and Pacific Railway bought land from local settlers in 1881 and laid out a town on its new Sherman–Fort Worth line, and a railroad surveyor named it for his home in Virginia.
The Handbook of Texas records that the community was also spelled “Rawranoke.” One local account instead credits settlers from Virginia with the name, and the Virginia city itself was called Big Lick until 1882.
Before the railroad, settlers lived at the Medlin settlement on Denton Creek, founded in 1847. Flooding pushed them to higher ground around 1879, and many moved to the new rail town in 1881 and 1882.
Roanoke incorporated in 1933. A Denton County historical study says an incorporation election was held on November 7, 1933, at the Continental Bank, and that the city adopted a commission form of government and elected its first mayor in April 1934, which is why some sources cite 1934.
The town itself dates to 1881, when the Texas and Pacific Railway platted it. A 1934 federal Public Works Administration contract helped launch the city’s water system, and by 1940 Roanoke had 485 residents.
In 2007, Roanoke absorbed the neighboring Town of Marshall Creek, a small community incorporated in 1983, and the city has grown to an estimated 10,931 residents by 2025.
Grapevine Lake, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir of about 7,300 acres on Denton Creek, lies east of Roanoke. The Corps runs Murrell Park, with day use, primitive camping, a boat ramp and access to the North Shore Trail.
The former Marshall Creek Park is now Trophy Club Park, at 2885 Trophy Park Drive, run by the Town of Trophy Club rather than Roanoke. The town lists a two-lane ramp, a daily boat fee of $5 for its residents and $10 for others and hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The town has warned that the lake level is very low around its ramp, so check conditions with the Corps or the park before you tow a boat.
The City of Roanoke provides and bills water and sewer service; utility billing is at City Hall, 500 S. Oak St. Trash and recycling are billed by the city too, with pickup every Tuesday and bulk and brush pickup on the second and fourth Tuesdays.
The 2026 residential trash rate is $16.46 a month, including recycling, and a bulk drop-off site is at 265 Marshall Creek Road.
Electric and natural gas providers vary by address; secondary sources list Oncor delivery with retail choice, CoServ and Atmos Energy, but none was confirmed for specific streets. Check the seller’s bills and confirm with the provider before closing, and start city utility service a few days before you move.
Steadily. The Census Bureau counted 5,962 residents in 2010 and 9,665 in 2020, and estimates 10,931 as of July 1, 2025, about 13 percent above the 2020 base. The city covers about 6.9 square miles.
Growth now shows most clearly downtown, where a 430-space parking garage, a 205-room hotel and convention center and a brewpub are under construction along Oak Street.
Northwest ISD is growing too, opening Davis High School in 2027 to relieve high schools along the SH 114 corridor. Expect construction traffic downtown through 2028, and ask about planned projects near any home you’re considering.
The Cade Hotel, a 205-room hotel in Hilton’s Curio Collection with a city-owned convention center at 600 S. Oak St., broke ground on October 7, 2026, with completion reported for June 2028.
A five-story, 430-space parking garage at 102 S. US 377 has been under construction since February 2026; sources give different finish dates in 2027. Pirate Panda Brewing, a two-story brewpub at 200 S. Oak St., broke ground June 29, 2026, and is also targeting 2027.
These projects add parking and visitors to Oak Street, along with construction detours in the meantime. Timelines can slip, so check the city’s project updates before planning around them.
Yes. The City of Roanoke requires rental property registration, and its fee schedule lists an annual registration fee of $50 for one- and two-family rental properties, adopted by ordinance in 2019.
The application gives the city consent to inspect the interior and exterior of the property. No ordinance written specifically for short-term rentals was found, and whether stays of under 30 days fall under the registration rule wasn’t confirmed.
If you’re buying to rent, ask the city’s permits office how the rules apply to your plans, check any HOA restrictions on leasing and confirm the property is inside city limits, since homes with Roanoke mailing addresses outside the city follow different rules.
Not fixed-route. Roanoke isn’t a member of the Denton County Transportation Authority, whose member cities are Denton, Lewisville and Highland Village, and no fixed-route bus serving Roanoke was found.
SPAN, Denton County’s rural transportation provider, offers rides by appointment on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Denton County part of the city, and the city arranges rides for its senior center through SPAN. No Trinity Metro or DART membership was found.
Most residents drive. SH 114 connects east to DFW Airport and west to I-35W and AllianceTexas, so plan your commute, and any airport trips, around the highway.
Answers were verified as of October 13, 2026, from the City of Roanoke, Denton County and its tax office, the Denton Central Appraisal District, Northwest ISD, the Texas Education Agency, Texas Legislature Online, the Texas State Historical Association Handbook of Texas, a Denton County historical study, the U.S. Census Bureau, Redfin, Orchard, a local brokerage, Freddie Mac, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Town of Trophy Club, DCTA, SPAN and local news reports. Rates, fees, prices, schedules and providers change; verify anything you intend to rely on. Tax rates are 2026 adopted rates from Denton County’s tax-rate records (City of Roanoke $0.326182, Denton County $0.183394, Northwest ISD $1.0638); city exemption amounts are from a title-company chart and weren’t confirmed, so no full tax bill is shown. A second check couldn’t open the city’s FY2027 tax notices or find the school rate in district documents, where a June proposal was $1.0702, so confirm both with the county tax office. The school boundary change is a proposal until the board votes. Drive times are planning estimates. The 2025 dining renewal’s final status, electric and gas providers by address, short-term rental rules and garage and brewery finish dates weren’t confirmed. Population counts cover the incorporated city only. This is general information, not legal, tax, lending, insurance, environmental or engineering advice.

Roanoke, a city of 9,665 at the 2020 census and about 10,900 by 2025 estimates, sits at SH 114 and US 377, mostly in Denton County. It’s known for the Oak Street restaurant row and quick access to two airports, but its ZIP code crosses city lines, prices sit well above the state median and downtown is under construction through 2028. I sort out the details that matter here, and the awkward parts are named.
A Roanoke mailing address doesn’t prove a home is inside the city, and a small part of Roanoke is in Tarrant County, with its own appraisal district. Whether nearby communities with Roanoke addresses are in the city wasn’t confirmed. I pull the city, county and taxing units for every address before we compare homes.
Denton County’s 2026 records list the city at $0.326182, the same total as 2025, and Northwest ISD at $1.0638; the county adopted $0.183394, its lowest since 1986. Not every source agrees on the 2026 figures, and the city’s exemptions weren’t confirmed. I verify every rate and exemption before we write an offer.
Redfin’s median was $712,643 for the three months ending July 2026, on just 43 July sales. A brokerage’s count of 145 sales over 12 months puts the median near $580,000. Summer sales lean toward larger homes. I price from true comparables, not either headline.
In July, 38.7 percent of Roanoke listings cut their price, while 19.1 percent sold above list. One brokerage found homes that held their price sold in about 14 days at 98.9 percent of asking, while homes that cut took about 81 days at 93.1 percent. I set the price to land in the first group.
Freddie Mac’s 30-year average was 7.40 percent on October 8, up from 6.30 percent a year earlier. The 2026 conforming limit is $832,750, so with 10 percent down, homes above roughly $925,000 usually need a jumbo loan, with stricter reserves. I line up the right lender early at higher price points.
The Cade Hotel and convention center at 600 S. Oak St. broke ground in October 2026, with completion reported for June 2028. A 430-space garage and a brewpub are targeting 2027. Oak Street also closes for big festivals, so check event days and construction detours near any downtown home.
Roanoke has real trade-offs: prices well above the state median, 2026 tax figures that sources don’t fully agree on, construction downtown through 2028, no fixed-route transit, a high school boundary vote on November 9 and a ZIP code that crosses city lines. If any of that is a dealbreaker, you will hear it from me first.
Confirm the city and county on the appraisal record, not the ZIP code. Second, confirm the 2026 tax rates and exemptions with the county. Third, check the school boundary after the November 9 vote. Fourth, at higher price points, talk to a lender about jumbo loans early. Fifth, if you’re buying to rent, register the rental by March 1. And sixth, file your homestead with the appraisal district by April 30.
Roanoke-specific things to raise with all four. Freddie Mac’s 30-year average was 7.40 percent on October 8, 2026, and the 15-year was 6.73 percent; ask how a seller-paid buydown compares with a price cut. Many Roanoke homes fall under the $832,750 conforming limit, but higher-priced homes may need jumbo financing, so ask about reserves and down payment requirements. The Denton County FHA limit is listed at $563,500; confirm it on HUD’s lookup. Make sure the correct county and city tax rates are in the payment estimate. I recommend these lenders based on their expertise and service. I do not receive compensation for referrals.
Either is fine. I answer my own phone, and you will never be routed to a call center or handed to a junior agent. Send me an address and I will tell you whether it’s inside Roanoke, which county it’s in, which school boundary applies, whether the price point needs a jumbo loan and which taxing units apply.

Information on this page is provided for general reference and is not legal, tax, insurance, environmental, engineering or lending advice. Tax rates are 2026 figures from Denton County’s tax-rate records (City of Roanoke $0.326182, Northwest ISD $1.0638, Denton County $0.183394). A second check couldn’t open the city’s FY2027 tax notices or find the school rate in district documents, where a June proposal was $1.0702, and city exemption amounts weren’t confirmed, so no tax bill is shown; confirm the final rates. The county’s rate history is from its 2026 announcement. Market figures are Redfin’s for July 2026 and a brokerage’s 12-month count through July 2026; the price-cut comparison is from that brokerage, and Redfin’s page summary cites a different average. Jumbo thresholds are illustrative math, not lender guidance. Downtown project timelines are from the city and local news and differ by source. The FHA limit is from lender tables and should be confirmed on HUD’s lookup; the conforming limit is FHFA’s 2026 limit. Mortgage rates are Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey for October 8, 2026, and change weekly. The school boundary change is a proposal until the board votes. School ratings are shown at the district level only; school assignment is determined by address. All real estate services are provided through Legacy Realty Group. Equal Housing Opportunity.
