A lakefront community that continues to develop

Sprawling northbound from the waterfront Sunset Boulevard is Dalrock, an evolving residential community surrounded by Lake Ray Hubbard. Dalrock hugs the western end of Rowlett's easternmost peninsula, putting the lake at the fingertips of most residents. "The lake and the lake lifestyle is the main reason people are drawn to Dalrock," says Realtor Marina Mueller, a local Realtor with Only 1 Realty Group. Mueller has sold homes across the region for nearly two years. "Plus, it has a close-knit community feel and is an easy drive into Dallas." And Dalrock is expanding. Since 2018, Sunset Boulevard has dramatically developed. Contemporary homes line the sidewalk-lined street, allowing residents to step off their front stoops to watch the sunset from Sunset. And more development is coming. Work is underway to develop the Sapphire Bay Marina on the neighborhood’s southern tip into a 116-acre resort where people can live, work and play.

A mix of new traditional and custom contemporary homes

Dalrock's oldest homes were built in the 1980s and '90s, closer to I-66. As development continued into the 21st century, subdivisions began to spread across the peninsula's southern region, away from the interstate. And many homes were built within the past 10 years. Buyers will find a mix of new traditional and contemporary colonials with custom flair, making each house different. Many homes feature rear-facing garages accessible through tight back alleys. Houses are between 1,500 square feet and 3,500 square feet and prices range between $300,000 and $800,000. "As you'd expect, prices are higher the closer you are to the water," Mueller says. "But since Dalrock is on a peninsula, you can get a home near the water at a price point less than some other lake communities." Most streets in Dalrock feature a sidewalk where residents enjoy evening strolls or bike rides to the waterfront.

A day on Lake Ray Hubbard

Considering Dalrock's location along Lake Ray Hubbard, locals naturally spend much of their time on or by the water. Peninsula Park is at the peninsula's southernmost point and features panoramic views of the lake with paved walking trails and a few benches. Dog owners often walk their furry friends to the park and let them off their leashes at the gated dog park. Locals also enjoy lake views from Lakeside Park South, where they fish for bass or catfish, play a game of sand volleyball or let the kids play on the playground. There's also plenty of picnic tables for small gatherings by the water. Paddlers take off from Paddle Point Park, kayaking the 6.4-mile Paddle Point Creek Paddling Trail. Boaters dock at Sapphire Bay Marina, with over 1,000 docks and slips. The marina is part of a rapidly developing, soon-to-come resort that will feature a 400-room hotel, a 6.5-acre lagoon and a surf and beach club.

Breakfast at Dalrock Diner, shopping at Tom Thumb

Dalrock Diner features checkered floors and bright red booths, embodying a classic American diner. Locals enjoy Texas-shaped Belgian waffles or honey-drizzled baklava pancakes, among other items from the all-day breakfast menu. Sammy Lou's Home Cooking and BBQ has a few savory options, from chicken fried steak to smoked brisket. But to cook a meal at home, locals grab ingredients from Tom Thumb in the Lake Point Market shopping center or at Walmart Neighborhood Market. Off the peninsula, westbound on I-66 toward the heart of Rowlett, are a few more shopping options, from Target to Sprouts Farmers Market. Locals head to RetroCade for late-night fun. Visitors play vintage arcade games while enjoying beers and fried snacks.
