Housing in Colleyville and where water damage starts
Colleyville has about 9,403 homes, and half of them were built in 1994 or earlier. Population was broadly stable between 2020 and 2024 (-0.1%). Most of the city is newer construction, with 34% of homes built in 2000 or later. Newer homes rely heavily on drywall, engineered flooring, plastic supply lines and appliance connections, so water from a failed hose, water heater or fixture can wick into walls and under cabinets quickly.
