I work at Envoy, but own in Lakewood. Really good elementary school, but meh High School.
My wife and I love the area. Great restaurants, grocers, brewerys, wineries, all within walking distance. Plus, White Rock Lake is less than a mile away, which has a 9.3 mile paved trail that circumferences the lake.
It is a 25 minute drive to the employee lot without traffic, but 50 with.
Our house is new construction, but surrounded by beautiful and restored craftsman style bungalows.

I’m a Rockwall guy..about 50 minutes non traffic, 1:25 with. Three routes to get to the airport if one is blocked. Personally, I enjoy leaving the airport area on days off and being no where near it until sign in the next trip. There is a lake out here, a few parks for kids, dog parks, multiple churches and plenty of food options. Housing and taxes are still within reason. Most can find a 2500 sq/ft <5 year old home for the high 200’s. Schools are rated in the 7-9’s range also. Good luck!
