Call 817-310-8511Lakeside Living Comes With Its Own Maintenance
The Colony started as a planned community by Fox and Jacobs in 1973 on roughly 3,000 acres along Lake Lewisville. Those original homes are now 50 years old. They've held up well, but half a century means aging plumbing fixtures, worn-out doors, outdated electrical, and plenty of drywall that's cracked from decades of foundation movement on North Texas clay.
Proximity to the lake adds another layer. Homes near the shoreline deal with higher humidity, which can affect wood trim, door frames, and exterior paint faster than homes farther inland. Deck and fence maintenance is also more frequent for lakeside properties where moisture exposure is constant.
