If you drive 40 miles north of Dallas, you hit a peninsula on Lewisville Lake that feels a world away from the traffic. This is Oak Point.

It’s a small city—just 5.43 square miles—but it punches above its weight in lifestyle. It’s perfect if you want that "small-town country feel" without losing access to the Metroplex.

The Real Estate Numbers

The market here is strong but accessible.

• Average Value: $461,043

• Price Per Sq Ft: $214

• Inventory: Roughly 122 homes for sale

You have a mix of housing styles. You can find 1980s ranch-style homes starting around $325,000, or you can look at master-planned communities like Wildridge and Woodridge Estates for newer brick and stone builds. If you want luxury, the estates near the lake offer Mediterranean styles and can go over $1 million.

Life on the Water

Lewisville Lake is the backyard here. It’s 29,000 acres of water ready for boating and fishing.

• Boating: The Oak Point Boat Ramp is on Lakeshore Boulevard.

• Sailing: The Dallas Corinthian Yacht Club is a private, member-owned club that’s been here since 1956.

• Fishing: Locals cast out for white crappie and largemouth bass.

Not Just a Lake Town

Oak Point has a surprising equestrian culture. The Prestonwood Polo Club is a massive 97-acre facility with three playing fields and two arenas. They host weekly matches and have a youth program that has snagged three national championships.

For everyday recreation, Jake’s Place Park has baseball fields, basketball courts, and a fish-themed playground for the kids.

Schools and Logistics

The city is split between two school districts. The south side is generally Little Elm ISD, while the north is Denton ISD. Little Elm High School is a solid option; it houses the Lobo Collegiate Academy, which partners with North Central Texas College for dual credit opportunities.

Commuting is managed via Farm to Market Road 720, which gets you to the Dallas North Tollway or I-35E within about 10 miles. If you travel for work, DFW Airport is 25 miles away.
