The Colony

Want lakefront living without the premium prices of neighboring cities? The Colony on Lewisville Lake delivers waterfront lifestyle at better value.

Vibe: Laid-back, lake-oriented, and family-friendly with a more affordable entry point than many North Dallas suburbs.

Location & Commute: The Colony sits along the eastern shore of Lewisville Lake in Denton County, bordered by SH 121 (Sam Rayburn Tollway). Downtown Dallas is approximately 25 miles south—a 30-40 minute commute. The city's central location provides relatively equal access to Dallas, Plano, Frisco, and even Fort Worth via connecting highways.

Lifestyle & Amenities: Lewisville Lake dominates the lifestyle here—boating, fishing, and waterfront recreation are major draws. Grandscape development (home to Scheels sporting goods and Nebraska Furniture Mart) has transformed the retail landscape. The Tribute and Castle Hills neighborhoods offer golf course living. Five Star Complex provides sports facilities, and the city maintains numerous parks and the popular Shoreline Trail along the lake.

Real Estate Scene: The Colony offers more affordable options than neighboring Frisco or Plano, with median prices around $375K-$475K. Housing ranges from lakefront properties and golf course homes ($500K-$800K+) to established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions at lower price points ($300K-$400K). Inventory includes condos, townhomes, and single-family homes, appealing to diverse buyers.

Who Moves Here: Families seeking affordability without sacrificing location, water recreation enthusiasts, first-time buyers, and professionals working throughout North Dallas who want reasonable prices and lake access. The demographic spans young families to retirees.
