Shady Acres
Mere minutes from the lapping shores of majestic Lake Ray Hubbard lies Shady Acres, an area of Rowlett, Texas, where old and new, rural and suburban, lake and land all blend to create a relaxed, convenient lifestyle. "With a mix of older and newer homes in the area, you can get a good quality home at a good price that's close to easy commute routes like 66, I-30 and 190," says Heather Sims, a Rowlett resident and the broker/owner of the Elysian Agency. "And every once in a while, you can find a Shady Acres-area home that's lakefront."
In Shady Acres, you'll find a mix of Traditional-style, brick, single-family homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s. Home sizes range from 1,400 to 4,500 square feet with two to five bedrooms, and sale prices tend to fall between $220,000 and $695,000, with an average list price of around $427,000. "The price range in this area varies quite a bit because of the range in home ages," Sims says. "It also has good options for neighborhoods with or without mandatory HOAs -- because people either love or hate them."
Youngsters in Shady Acres attend schools in the highly-regarded Garland Independent School District. Through Garland ISD's Choose Your School program, families can decide which of the district's 72 schools students will attend, including Steadham Elementary for pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, Schrade Middle for grades six through eight and Rowlett High School, rated an A-minus by Niche. "Much of the Shady Acres area is walkable to Steadham and Schrade, which are both highly-rated schools," says Sims.
At the end of a long week, hop over to nearby Twin Star Park for 5 acres of outdoor fun, like playing a game of hockey on the in-line skating rink, kicking the ball around the soccer field, hiking the trails or simply relaxing on a park bench while the kids wear themselves out on the playground. If quiet contemplation in nature is what you seek, head to the tranquil shores of nearby Lake Ray Hubbard, where you can fish, kayak along the Paddle Point Creek Paddling Trail, or simply sit and take in the stunning views.
If all that fresh lake air jumpstarts your appetite, head to nearby Arboledas Mexican Grill for tasty house specialties like enchiladas verdes or tacos al pastor. Or you might get a hankering for some smokey barbecue. If so, locally-owned Sammy Lou's Home Cooking & BBQ is there for you in your time of need with a juicy brisket plate or a tender rack of baby back ribs. When you're inspired to whip up a family feast at home, load up on ingredients at the Walmart Neighborhood Market or Tom Thumb grocery store, both conveniently located within 3 miles of Shady Acres. While you're at it, stop by the local Petco to stock up on treats for your favorite canine or feline pal. With the convenience of amenities and commutable highways close by, varied home prices, and a lake practically at your doorstep, there's certainly no reason to throw shade at Shady Acres.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
