Why buyers choose Lavon, TX
Lavon is a small Collin County city on SH 78, about a mile southeast of Lavon Dam. Wylie is next door, Rockwall is 6 miles south on SH 205, and Garland is 16 miles southwest. Downtown Dallas is roughly 30 miles away.
Lavon is defined by new construction and the lake. Master plans like Elevon, which is planned for more than 4,000 homes, and Hillstead have added thousands of rooftops in a few years. The city has few large employers, so most residents commute. Census data puts the average commute at 34 minutes.
Median household income is $131,303, and 42% of adults hold a bachelor's degree. Most of the city is in Community ISD, where enrollment has tripled since 2016. Some Lavon addresses, including Hillstead, are zoned to Wylie ISD.
