Rowlett

Rowlett is a city that stretches along Lake Ray Hubbard, linking residential neighborhoods with green spaces and water access. The area spans across Dallas County and Rockwall County, featuring trails, parks, and lakefront corridors.

The area began as a farming community in the 1840s near Rowlett Creek and gained city status in 1952 with fewer than 300 residents. Growth accelerated after the dam created the lake and modern development transformed the region into a suburban center.

The community gathers for local events and festivals that bring neighbors together throughout the year. People spend time in parks and public spaces that reflect the city's blend of suburban living with waterfront activities.

The DART Blue Line station at Downtown Rowlett provides rail access to Dallas and surrounding areas. Interstate 30 and the George Bush Turnpike offer multiple driving connections to nearby neighborhoods and cities.

Sapphire Bay is a new development featuring an artificial lagoon and waterfront facilities along Lake Ray Hubbard's eastern shore. This modern project transforms the landscape and creates new gathering spaces for residents and visitors.
