Default Tree size/spacing

Hi.

I'm thinking of planting a tree in my front yard. I have a few questions:

What would the height/spread limit for a tree be for a lot my size? I don’t want a tree that’s way too big.

It's 43 ft from the roof line to the curb and 60 ft across. There's 18 ft from the center of the front yard to the tip of my roof over the garage. I have uploaded some pics, but could not see how to inbed even after reading the forum post on it.

*(The house faces North and is 1310 sq ft. It's in S.W. Arlington, TX. - zone 8a.

Thanks in advance.

There's a site called Texas Tree Selector. It'll help you select trees best suited to your area.
