Growing master-planned community northeast of the DFW metroplex
About 35 miles northeast of Dallas, Elevon is a growing master-planned community built on the Texas Blackland Prairie. With its brand-new amenities and homes, aptly named Elevon provides an elevated lifestyle in the town of Lavon. The neighborhood is currently in its second phase of a planned five-phase development process. “We are about 25% built out,” says Katie Martin, online sales counselor for UnionMain Homes, a builder in the neighborhood. Elevon offers a property tax rate of 1.9%, which is lower than several neighboring communities. The neighborhood’s overall CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4, and in 2020, the town of Lavon was given the Excellence Award for Public Safety by the Texas Municipal League. Residents are also close to Lavon Lake, a North Texas fishing hotspot that is surrounded by waterfront parks, hiking trails and camping areas. In addition to comfort, safety and outdoor recreation, homeowners here also enjoy commuting convenience: Elevon is situated along State Highway 78, which leads into the DFW metroplex.

Elevon’s newly built modern transitional and Texas-style homes
Elevon has level streets and uniform lots, with houses built relatively close to one another. Sidewalks wind throughout the neighborhood, and views are unobstructed by trees. Architectural styles here are a mix of modern transitional and what local Realtors describe as Texas-style. “Elevon is in Phase Two of development, which means lower entry prices compared to future phases,” Martin says. Prices currently range from about $280,000 to $630,000; homes at the lower end may be one or 1.5 stories with less square footage, while homes at the top of the price range exceed 3,500 square feet with four to five bedrooms. Monthly HOA fees are $155 for all homeowners, regardless of house size. “That includes full access to all community amenities, along with high-speed internet provided by Pavlov,” Martin says.

Intimate gathering places are clustered throughout the neighborhood, favored spots for neighbors to chat while relaxing in a lounge chair.

Driving into the DFW metroplex
Due to the lack of nearby public transit options, Elevon is a car-dependent area. Residents enter and exit the neighborhood from North state Highway 78, which extends southwest into the heart of Dallas. Elevon is also close to Texas State Highway 205, which provides another route to downtown Dallas via Interstate 30. The nearest Dallas Area Rapid Transit light rail station is the Downtown Rowlett Station, about 20 miles southwest, which offers a park-and-ride lot for commuters heading to Garland, Lake Highlands or Downtown Dallas. The neighborhood is 9 miles from medical care at Baylor Scott & White Emergency Center and 45 miles east of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
