Shady Acres blends rural and suburban living near major highways
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."
Prices vary due to mix of older and newer homes
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."

Outdoor options include parks, trails and lakeside activities
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.
