A quiet and tranquil community on the shores of Lake Palestine
Cedar Bay is a quiet rural enclave with towering pine trees overhead and the lapping shores of Lake Palestine below. Residents enjoy the tranquility and seclusion provided by the large housing lots and the lack of commercial activity in the area. Summer days are spent on the lake, where many explore the miles of open water by boat. Lakefront estates and smaller manufactured homes may serve as weekend retreats for some, but the majority of residents stick around for endless recreation and access to highly rated public schools. “I would say there are definitely way more full-time homeowners than weekenders,” says Shelia Cooper, local Realtor and owner of RE/MAX Impact. “Most of the neighborhood is in Bullard, and that’s going to get them into Bullard [Independent School District], which is preferred around here.”
Cedar Bay on Lake Palestine has some absolutely gorgeous areas for frolicking in the water.

Lake Palestine is the hub for recreation
Lake Palestine is the neighborhood's main attraction and serves as the hub for recreation all summer. Days on the lake consist of waterskiing in the main channel and cruising through the winding coves. Many homeowners have private boat docks, but residents on dry lots can still access the waters via the Lake Palestine Marina, under 2 miles away. The 18-mile-long reservoir is renowned for its game fishing and hosts multiple bass fishing tournaments. For recreation on dry land, Emerald Bay Club is a private golf club community featuring an 18-hole championship course. Other amenities include tennis and basketball courts and a swimming pool.

Manufactured homes and lakefront estates
Cedar Bay's wide streets and expansive lots provide privacy and seclusion. Manufactured homes with vinyl exteriors and front patios are the predominant style, though expansive waterfront estates with private boat docks can also be found. Classic ranch-style dwellings and rustic Tudor revivals fill in the gaps, and housing is split between waterfront and dry lots. Pickups parked in the front driveways are a common sight as they are required to tow boats to and from the marina. No matter where homebuyers end up, Cedar Bay offers an accessible way into the Lake Palestine area. “For people wanting to live near the lake, this community is an affordable option,” Cooper says. "It's sandwiched between Emerald Bay and Eagle’s Bluff, and they’re much more expensive neighborhoods.” Prices for manufactured houses range between $125,000 and $400,000, while larger single-family builds on the water sell for up to $750,000.
