Housing by building size and tenure
Of the 22,885 housing units in that survey, 12,289 (53.7%) are single-family detached houses, 8,531 (37.3%) sit in buildings of five or more units and 544 are mobile homes. Owners occupy 11,382 homes, or 52.7%, and an owner-occupied home has a median value of $493,100. The survey counts homes and buildings, not pools, and its figures carry margins of error.
Building decades
The 1980s were the busiest decade for construction, with 6,617 units (28.9%), ahead of 4,716 from the 1990s and 3,715 from the 2000s, while 3,628 units predate 1980. The median unit dates from 1993, with a margin of error of two years.
Lake, airport and a hospitality trade
The Army Corps of Engineers began Grapevine Dam in 1948 and completed the lake in 1952, and the airport built next to the city opened in 1974; between 1970 and 1990 the population grew from 7,023 to 29,198, the Handbook of Texas records. The Handbook credits the lake and the airport for a hospitality and tourism industry that brought the Grapevine Convention Center in 1988 and Grapevine Mills in 1997, and the city is trademarked as the “Christmas Capital of Texas”. The 2020 Census counted 50,631 residents, and the Census Bureau estimates 50,714 on July 1, 2025.

(469) 526-3886Grapevine's pool code and the state's public-pool rules
The City's swimming pool article, Chapter 7, Article XI of its Code of Ordinances, treats as a pool any permanent structure or excavation holding water more than 24 inches deep for swimming or bathing. It adopts the most current International Swimming Pool and Spa Code as adopted by the State of Texas and leaves the regulation of public pools, spas and hot tubs to Chapter 12. Since January 1, 2024, the City has also worked from the 2021 International Building, Residential, Plumbing, Mechanical, Fuel Gas and Fire codes and the 2020 National Electrical Code, with local amendments that include one for swimming pools and spas. Ask the City which Chapter 12 requirements a remodel will meet before plans are drawn.
Hotel, apartment and club pools in state law
Texas files a pool limited to hotel guests, apartment or condominium residents, club members or a property owners association under Class C, one of its public-pool classes, though outsiders can't swim there. The state health department applies the code's 2021 edition to building, altering, renovating, enlarging and repairing those pools, and a minor alteration or repair may still follow the standard in force when the pool was built. The department may decide to review the plans, telling the owner or operator in writing, and a local authority's own public-pool standards are allowed only where they match the state's or go further.
Fees and plan review
Grapevine charges pool permit fees on its building permit scale, adds plumbing and electrical permit fees on top, and registers pool contractors as general contractors. Its fee sheet, revised in December 2023, lists a $150 lot drainage fee for swimming pools and a plan review fee of 65% of the building permit fee on every project except Group R-3 private residences, so it reaches pools that aren't at a private home. Confirm current fees with the City before a budget is set.

(469) 526-3886Accessible entry where the public swims
Hotels and other public accommodations fall under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which, the Justice Department says, demands full accessibility from business facilities that are new or altered. Under the 2010 ADA Standards, any pool, wading pool or spa that is newly built or altered needs an accessible way into and out of the water. Below 300 linear feet of pool wall, one accessible means is enough, and it must be a fixed lift or a sloped entry; at 300 feet or more, two are needed, at least one of them a lift or sloped entry, and a spa needs a lift, a transfer wall or a transfer system.
The Standards count remodeling, renovation and reconstruction as alterations, while routine maintenance and painting count only if they change how usable the pool is. Texas has its own 2012 Texas Accessibility Standards, run by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, with sections 242 and 1009 on pools and spas. A pool open only to the residents of a private community and their guests sits outside the ADA's accessibility rules, the Justice Department says.
Flower Mound Pool Resurfacing will measure the wall length and show where a lift or sloped entry could fit.

(469) 526-3886Expansive clays and the deck around a public pool
The soil survey maps 78 units inside Grapevine's Census boundary. The largest are Urban land (about 7.6%), the Houston Black-Urban land complex (7.5%), Heiden clay (7.2%) and Rader fine sandy loam (7.2%), and mapped water covers about 10.5% of the area. Houston Black reaches a linear extensibility of 17 percent and Heiden 12.2, both very high on the scale printed in the 1980 Denton County soil survey, and Rader reaches 7.5, high. The same survey cautions that soils in the moderate-to-very-high range can harm buildings and roads, often calling for special design.
Around a public pool, the code's 2021 edition wants a deck or clear access along at least 90 percent of the edge, slip-resistant walking surfaces within 4 feet of the water and at least 6 feet of deck between a pool and a spa. The CDC's Model Aquatic Health Code, which isn't Texas law, adds an unbroken, watertight expansion joint where deck meets coping, keeps deck slopes to their original design and has deck cracks checked daily and repaired once they raise the risk of trips, falls or cuts.
Lake Grapevine, the TRA and the refill
About 70 percent of the city's drinking water comes from the Trinity River Authority, supplied by Cedar Creek and Richland Chambers reservoirs, and about 30 percent from the City's own supply in Lake Grapevine, whose normal conservation pool is 535 feet. The City's 2024 drinking water report lists total hardness of 117 ppm, as calcium carbonate, for water the City treats and 135 ppm for Trinity River Authority water.
Lawn and landscape watering is banned from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and the Drought Contingency Plan sits in Chapter 25, Article V, Section 25-140 of the Code of Ordinances. Ask the City how the stage in force treats refilling a public pool before the drain date is fixed.
Main Street, Nash Farm and the historic districts
Related families from Platte County, Missouri, settled along Denton Creek in 1844. Around 1854 the town was laid out and named Grape Vine for the Grapevine Prairie; it incorporated on February 12, 1907, the Post Office joined the name into one word in 1914, and a home-rule charter with a council–manager government followed in 1965.
Since its 1991 Historic Preservation Ordinance, the City has kept the Historic Grapevine Township District and five local historic districts, among them the College Street, Cotton Belt Railroad and West Wall Street districts. Its four Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks are the Torian Cabin at 201 South Main Street, the Tarrant County State Bank at 332 South Main, Nash Farm at 626 Ball Street and the Dorris-Brock House at 805 North Main, home of Cross Timbers Winery. The City's visitor bureau features the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center, Hotel Vin, Messina Hof Grapevine Winery and Grape Vine Springs Winery.

Resurfacing, tile and decks in the same closure
Published national reserve-planning numbers for 2026 run $6.50 to $8.00 a square foot of interior surface for a commercial replaster, and they suggest doing the waterline tile, coping repairs and small niche work at the same time, since one drain and refill then serves all of it. Those are published figures, not a quote, and a remodel is priced from its scope after a site visit.
Beyond remodels, Flower Mound Pool Resurfacing resurfaces commercial pools and HOA and community pools and works on waterline tile, depth markers, coping and pool decks. Colleyville's page covers pebble pool finishes in Colleyville.
Steps in a commercial pool remodel
Survey the pool
Wall length, depths, entries, deck and markers are measured against the 2021 code and the 2010 ADA Standards.
Ask the City
Building Inspection and the Chapter 12 public-pool rules settle the permits, the fees and any plan review.
Weigh the scale
The CDC’s model code calls work costing more than half the pool’s replacement cost a substantial alteration, which needs approved plans before it begins.
Close the pool yard
Texas wants users kept out and a closed sign on the gates; they may stay propped open only while the owner’s contractor is working.
Build and mark
Entries, stairs, tile and deck go in; Texas sets wall depth markers in the top 4-1/2 inches below the coping, at least two to a pool.
Refill and reopen
The pool stays shut until its water is back within the gutter or skimmer operating range, and the City says what it needs before reopening.
