Kristy's Local Tip
"Rockwall is perfect if you want that lake lifestyle without Houston-area prices. The waterfront homes at The Harbor command premiums, but there are excellent family neighborhoods inland with Rockwall ISD schools at more accessible prices. The commute to Dallas via I-30 is actually quite manageable."
