Lewisville

So, you have decided you want to move to the Dallas Fort Worth area but you’re wanting to get away from the city center. You probably have looked at Lewisville, some would describe it as the best Dallas suburb. However, should you move to Lewisville, Texas let’s see if we can help you narrow your choices.

1. Great Fishing Scene & Shores

Lake Lewisville is probably one of the most important things residents in Lewisville like to discuss. Lake Lewisville is home to the Lewisville Fishing Barge which is open 24 hours a day and is located just a few minutes away from the Lewisville Lake Park. The barge has restrooms, sells bait as well as snacks.

Lake Lewisville is home to a variety of fish primarily various species of Bass & Catfish. It’s also a great place to come out and have a picnic or just to lounge around on the shoreline. However, if fishing and lakes aren’t your thing Lewisville does have a variety of other activities.

2. Close Proximity To Essentials

When you’re moving to a suburb your biggest concern is naturally how far am I from all the essentials. Lewisville is home to a variety of grocery stores including the El Rancho Supermarket, but also home to Winco, Costco, and of course Walmart. There are a variety of boutiques and department stores (even in this tough retail environment). More importantly there are two targets both ideally located in the two largest neighborhoods in Lewisville. One thing to keep in mind though if you’re looking to get to downtown Dallas (as a commute) it’s about 20 miles depending on your area which during peak traffic hours can lead to a longer commute.

However, if you’re not against public transportation you can walk to Hebron Station and take you directly to downtown Dallas. Depending on your area this might be a significantly faster means of getting to work and avoiding that morning commute.

3. Lewisville Central Park

If you’re someone who likes parks Lewisville is home to Central Park which has a mile-long hiking/biking trail, a playground picnic pavilions, and more. You can rent the pavilions if you’re throwing a party or just sit out in the field and relax. It’s honestly a great way to spend the weekend with the family!

4. The Community

The community in Lewisville is quite active and very welcoming. Every year in June & July there is a festival hosted called the Sounds Of Lewisville. There are free live performances from the local artists as well as the local vendors / businesses and it’s a fun event. If you’re a beer lover Lewisville is also home to the Best Little Brewfest which is also held in June and typically sees attendance from around 80 breweries from all around texas.

Closing Thoughts

Lewisville is a great place to live if there was one thing I had to say was it’s “weakness” it would be the commute. Getting into the city especially during rush hour can be rough but an advantage to living in the suburbs naturally is you tend to get a lot more house for your money.

Lewisville Texas is a great suburb of Dallas Fort Worth. It has an active community, with lots of activities and things to do. To the benefit of the community, you will never not have something to do in the area not to mention the commute to Dallas is much better than you might find elsewhere!

But, when it comes to deciding if you want to live here cost is a factor and before you go looking at the average home price look at the median. If you’re unsure on what to do at all contact me Angelo Carducci, and I will give you the clear answers that you need! But let’s start to look at what the average person would be looking to spend on a home in our area.

But Why Not Look At The Average?

The average home price isn’t a good way to measure much of everything. Outside of a really simple data set a large outlier can affect the average by either lowering or raising the cost dramatically. For example, let’s say that 5 homes were sold in Lewisville yesterday.

The cost of the homes will be broken down into the following.

House 1: 250,000 House 2: 300,000 House 3: 285,000 House 4: 310,000 House 5: 550,000

The average of this list is 339,000 which is more than almost all the houses sold for (excluding house number 5). The median number, in this case, would be 300,000. This goes to show that numbers can be manipulated easily and while this sample set is small the median is almost always the fairest way of measuring housing price.

Now, What’s The Median House Price In Lewisville Texas?

So to jump into it, the actual median housing price is somewhere in the range of $270,000 to $300,000. The reason for the disparity is that many homes end up listing closer to 300,000 but end up being negotiated down to somewhere in that range. Of course, there are going to be more expensive homes and there will be even far less expensive options but this is around what you’re looking to spend to live in Lewisville.

For those who like to know the cost per square foot the median listing price per square foot is around $148.

As a buyer, you will have room to negotiate for your house as while prices are rising they aren’t trending too high and are remaining relatively stable!
