Home to over 11,000 residents, Heath is a city known for its outdoor recreation. Nestled against Lake Ray Hubbard, a 22,000-acre lake popular for water sports, boating and sailing. The town boasts spacious parks along the coast like Terry Park. Rush Creek Yacht Club is a private, member-owned sailing club popular among residents. Residents with children have the benefit of sending them to the Rockwall Independent School District, which is A-graded by Niche. For work, many commute to Dallas. "Eighty-five percent of residents go into Dallas on a daily basis," says Deborah Branch, a Realtor with Ebby Halliday Realtors. "We do also have two hospitals out here. We have several physicians and hospital workers, as well as many lawyers and dentists." The community sits about 25 miles east of Downtown Dallas and about 45 miles from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. "It's like living in a resort with all the amenities of Dallas," Branch says.

Custom-built homes built in the last 25 years
Most homes in Heath are new traditional styles built over the past 25 years. "We do have some volume home builders, but for the most part, it's custom builders," Branch says. The median home price in Heath is $410,000, on par with the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area median of $399,000, according to the Texas Real Estate Research Center.
