The City of Forney was named the “Antique Capital of Texas” by the state legislature in 1987 for its many vintage shops. While over 100 antique dealers put this small town on the map, now future homebuyers flock to the city’s community of Devonshire to get a shiny new start and customize their dream home while living in a self-contained community 20 miles east of Dallas. Despite proximity to the city, the 920-acre master-planned community sits a few miles east of Lake Ray Hubbard in Forney’s rolling hills, offering a small-town, rural feel. “It’s a countryside sort of community,” says Anne Yarbrough, divisional marketing manager with Perry Homes, one of the homebuilders at Devonshire. “It’s a little further outside the metro, with a slow-down feel. It’s away from the city, but you have the best of both sides.” Homebuyers will find perks from hiking trails to a fishing pond, an amphitheater and an active neighborhood association that takes pride in bringing residents together. Coupled with luxury homes and a highly rated school system, this only scratches the surface of living in Devonshire.

Homes inspired by the English countryside
A stately stone bridge adorned with lanterns leads to this community, capturing newcomers’ attention with a burnt orange stone castle-square tower in the middle of a lake. Devonshire is designed to give homeowners a feeling of community, comprised of several individual villages. Inspired by the English countryside, the streets of Devonshire are full of one- and two-story houses that play with Tudor Revival and manor-esque features like dark timber framing on light exteriors, steep roofs, arched doorways and intricately carved details. Construction started in 2008, but most homes for sale were built in the mid-2010s, and plenty of new construction is still happening in the Devonshire Reserve subdivision. Most homes range from $280,000 to over $1 million, depending on lot size, square footage, custom builds and upgrades. “It’s an entry-level price point to build for young couples and families. It makes that whole experience really personalized,” Yarbrough says. “People like the whole building option, getting to choose their finishes and upgrades and seeing the house come to life.”
Newcomers can expect three-bedroom, 1,300-square-foot homes at the lowest price point; four-bedroom, 2,300-square-foot homes starting at $380,000 and five-bedroom, 4,400-square-foot properties at the highest end. The community also offers contemporary three- and four-bedroom townhouses in the Devonshire Village subdivision from $360,000 to $400,000. Devonshire residents also enjoy large lot sizes, with most at least a quarter-acre and million-dollar homes stretching over 5 acres. Some large lots have horse stables, barns, pastures and stalls. Higher-end homes also have multi-car garages, expansive driveways, pools and resort-style backyards. All Devonshire homeowners enjoy amenities exclusive to the community, including two pools, a splash pad, hiking paths, fishing ponds, a dog park, trails and volleyball courts. A community center is also available at the heart of the development, where residents can socialize and attend holiday parties and movie nights.
Devonshire is where you will find your forever home.

Seven miles from Lake Ray Hubbard
Beyond Devonshire’s community recreation, Forney Community Park sits 3 miles south, where most of the city’s parkland is provided. This 200-acre space offers a splash pad in the summer, baseball fields, a fishing pond, walking trails and a playground. Mulberry Park and Jackrabbit Stadium for youth baseball and hockey are a mile from the community park. The shores of 22,000-acre Lake Ray Hubbard and all its fun lie 7 miles northwest of Devonshire to cool off on the hot days. One of the largest lakes in north Texas, residents can enjoy boating, sunbathing on the lakefront beaches, fishing or hiking its nearby trails.

Treasure trove of antique stores
Most shopping and dining options are off U.S. Highway 80, just south of the neighborhood, and Highway 548, which runs directly through it. Nina’s Brunch is a casual spot popular for its Belgian waffles, eggs Benedict and custom mimosa bar. Residents can stop in for a laid-back lunch of enchiladas and margaritas at Los Hermanos Mexican Restaurant or enjoy an upscale meal at Napoli’s Forney Italian Bistro, or dine at Tokyo Harbor, a chic Japanese steakhouse serving up hibachi-style fare and sushi. Barbecue purists can get their fix at Soulman’s Bar-B-Que, served up Texas-style. Their specialty is a brisket-loaded baked potato. Groceries and other essentials are close by at City Plaza Forney and Shoppes at Forney Crossing, both off Highway 80. Here, residents will find Kroger, Walmart, Lowe’s, Kohl’s and AutoZone. The Marketplace at Towne Center is 13 miles west for big-box stores, clothing boutiques, pet stores and crafts. No shopping trip is complete without stopping at Forney’s “Antique Row.” With over 100 antique stores along Highway 80, thrifters and vintage hunters will want to peruse Antiques and Vintage Texas, Caspar & Gerard's Antiques and Little Red’s Antiques – three shops brimming with vintage furniture and memorabilia that are all on the same block.
Antiques & Vintage Dallas sits next to many other antiques shops in Devonshire.
Devonshire residents regularly eat at Nina's Brunch for breakfast or lunch as often as they can.

A tight-knit community association
The Devonshire Residential Association puts on most of the events for the community, including an annual Cinco de Mayo celebration, free movie nights for teens, spring yard sales, an annual Spring Fest in April, donut community socials and plenty of activities for kids. The city itself also has a vast community engagement initiative called Imagine Forney. There are events every month, but some of the most highly attended are the Memorial Day 5K & Car Show in May, the Hawaiian Luau Family Night in May, National Night Out in October, Christmas on Main in December and the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop celebration.
Twenty miles from Dallas
While the community is walkable, residents will need a car. The city center is 3 miles away, and Devonshire is close to U.S. Highway 80, which connects to Interstate 30. Dallas is 23 miles, Garland is 20 miles and Dallas Love Field Airport is 28 miles away, respectively. Forney has public transportation available via the STAR bus transit service, but there are no bus stops in the community itself. The closest are within the city center.
