Last reviewed October 2026 · Market data: August 2026 The Colony combines two things rarely found together: miles of lakeshore and one of the region’s largest entertainment developments. Here is what life there looks like. The Colony community pageAll communities Life on Lewisville Lake The city has about 23 miles of Lewisville Lake shoreline. Stewart Creek Park and Hidden Cove Park provide public access to the lake. Homes near the shore can offer lake views; ask about flood zones and access rules. Grandscape Grandscape is a 433-acre shopping, dining, and entertainment district anchored by Nebraska Furniture Mart, along SH 121. It draws visitors from across the region, so expect busier traffic near it on weekends. Homes The Colony grew quickly after incorporating in 1977, so much of its housing is established single-family homes, with newer homes and apartments near Grandscape and SH 121. Schools and commuting The city is served by Lewisville ISD and Little Elm ISD. Commuters use SH 121 to reach the Dallas North Tollway, Plano, and DFW Airport. The Colony isn’t a DART city.
