Dallas has countless options when it comes to real estate, and waterfront homes sitting around lakes play an important part in that. There are over 40 lakes all within 100 miles of the greater Dallas metro area. Lake Ray Hubbard, with a size of over 22,700 acres, is easily one of the biggest lakes in the zone and runs straight though the middle of Dallas County.
Real estate around the lakes is made up of several homes all either sitting on the edge of the water, or else close enough to have a good view of the lake. This kind of housing is especially attractive to those who enjoy fishing, boating, various different kinds of water sports or alternatively who just love to be near to the water – of course many of the homes have their own fishing docks, which means many residents find a love of fishing for the first time after moving here. Most of the houses also have boat slips that come with decks, so going out on your own boat for fishing or just to relax is also made easy.
The lake side homes here can be found around both the larger, grander lakes as well as the smaller ones that occupy a fairly large part of Dallas. Some of the largest lakes here can be found in the subdivisions of Flower Mount, Rockwall and Rowlett, while the smaller lakes, some of which were artificially created by man, are in McKinney, Plano and Frisco. Aside from there, there is also lake side property available in the city of Dallas proper, and in Arlington. Price tags on these properties start at around $100,000 in further out suburbs, while reaching over $1 million in Plano or central Dallas.
Two of the more popular lakes within the city of Dallas are the While Rock Lake and the Lake Highlands, with the Highlands located close to the well known real estate subdivision of Casa Linda. Housing in Dallas on the lake side is a great place to live for those who want to be near all the modern amenities a person could need while still enjoying nature, and boating, with their families.
