Rockwall Texas: The New McKinney of North Texas
Rockwall is rapidly transforming into what I like to call the “new McKinney.” For years, McKinney has been one of the most desirable suburbs north of Dallas, known for its charming neighborhoods, excellent schools, and vibrant community. However, McKinney’s popularity has driven home prices sky-high, and the market is now very competitive and mostly full.
Rockwall Texas, located just east of Dallas on the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard, is following a similar trajectory but with more affordable pricing. You can expect home prices here to be roughly $300,000 less than comparable homes in McKinney, making Rockwall an attractive alternative for families looking for quality homes without paying a premium. The area is full of cool, friendly people and has a small-town Texas vibe combined with lakeside amenities and easy city access.
Windsor Homes is one of the key builders shaping Rockwall’s future, bringing quality construction and upscale designs that are elevating the local housing market. Rockwall’s growth has been explosive, and with multiple new neighborhoods emerging, it’s a great time to explore your options here.
Nelson Lake Estates Model Home Tour - The Ashbourne
One of the newest and most exciting Windsor Homes communities is Nelson Lake Estates, which officially opened just this past week, making it a fresh opportunity for buyers. This neighborhood features large lots ranging from 60 to 72 feet wide, avoiding the cramped feel of smaller 40-foot lots common in other developments. The spaciousness here supports luxury living with ample room for outdoor spaces and privacy.
Let’s take a closer look at the Ashbourne model home, a standout in Nelson Lake Estates. This home offers four bedrooms and four full bathrooms, spread across nearly 4,000 square feet. The standard plans include a three-car garage, but the model here has a unique flex room converted into a fourth car garage space, offering versatility for your lifestyle needs.
The quality of Windsor Homes’ builds is evident throughout the Ashbourne. Rockwall is not bringing in cheap builders; instead, it’s attracting reputable companies like Windsor Homes that focus on craftsmanship and lasting value. This commitment to quality is shaping Rockwall’s reputation as a desirable place to settle down.
Nelson Lake Estates is perfectly situated just north of Interstate 30 and east of the George Bush Turnpike, which means residents enjoy quick, convenient access to Dallas, Plano, Allen, Frisco, and other key destinations. An important infrastructure project underway will double the number of bridges over the lake, improving traffic flow and connectivity even further.
Education is a huge draw here. Rockwall ISD is an A+ rated school district, and Nelson Lake Estates is located directly across from Celia Hays Elementary School, allowing families to walk their kids to school safely. The community also benefits from the newly built Ninth Grade Centers, designed to accommodate the rapidly growing student population and provide state-of-the-art facilities for incoming freshmen. Rockwall has two 6A high schools, both highly regarded and boasting multiple state championships in sports.
Future amenities in Nelson Lake Estates will include a children’s playground and a community pool, enhancing the neighborhood's family-friendly atmosphere.
