Owners of Lewisville, Texas real estate enjoy a balance between small-town America and urban metropolis. Hugging the southern shores of scenic Lewisville Lake and conveniently located along I-35E and State Hwy 121 in northwestern Dallas, Lewisville’s real estate is sought after as a vibrant place to raise a family, build a business, to visit, and to settle down.
With dozens of Exemplary and Recognized schools and National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence, the Lewisville Independent School District itself compels many families to relocate to homes in Lewisville and in the surrounding communities of Argyle, Carrollton, Copper Canyon, Double Oak, Flower Mound, Frisco, Grapevine, Highland village, Hebron, Plano, and The Colony. Lewisville real estate remains valuable partially because of the LISD commitment to quality education, top-notch staff and teachers.
Lewisville TX real estate is within easy reach to every imaginable activity. Beginning with the boutiques and restaurants in Old Town Lewisville, the Texas Motor Speedway, several live theaters, ranches and resorts, malls, the Lewisville Lake Symphony, Lake Park Golf Course, Hawaiian Falls, Sun Valley Aquatic Center, Rockin’ Ivories Dueling Piano Bar, amusement parks, sports leagues, professional sporting events, and good ole camping and fishing for spectacular hybrid white/striped bass on the lake, residents and visitors find wonderful and fulfilling ways to balance the workweek.
The popular lake spans 23,280 acres with 233 miles of shoreline to go around. The 25-feet deep waters spawn large-mouth bass, crappie, catfish, and white bass and play host to fun activities like swimming, water skiing, jet skiing, sailing, and sail boarding. Surrounded by 9,000 acres of protected open space including Lake Park on the south shore with a picnic area, RV and tent camping, a pavilion, a 24-hour fishing barge, a swimming beach, and excellent public facilities, visitors to the lake can imagine they are hundreds of miles away from home. Marinas, boat rentals, launch ramps, and angler’s suppliers make recreating on the lake carefree. With miles of beautiful trails along the lake, invigorating people are out walking, hiking, and exploring the outdoors.

Hundreds of years ago, Native American tribes lived along the banks of the Elm Fork of the Trinity River here. Then, the first settlers arrived before the Civil War and built churches and schools. As the community grew, what is now called Old Town became the business center. Forward to the 21st century when major employers and thriving retail outlets now combine to create a strong economic framework for the residents. New businesses are opening and current businesses including those in Old Town are getting a facelift thanks to city incentives as well as new, flexible and improved development standards. In the Vista Ridge Mall area, especially, new commercial development has joined a sizeable existing retail base. Though she is home to about 1.5 percent of the total population in the DFW area, the City provides about 7 percent of the total retail space in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The low tax rates are an additional incentive.
Only 10 miles to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and 20 miles to Love Field, the City is close to the action and yet far enough away to percolate a unique identity and to be a place to retreat to the glittering blue lakes and expansive blue skies.
