Heath

Welcome to Heath

Welcome to Heath, Texas~one of the Dallas–Fort Worth area's most distinctive and desirable residential communities. Nestled along the southern shores of Lake Ray Hubbard, just south of Rockwall and approximately 25 miles east of Dallas, Heath offers something increasingly difficult to find in a growing metropolitan area: beautiful homes, spacious properties, natural surroundings, and a genuine sense of peace and privacy.

Heath has carefully maintained its identity as a primarily residential community. Unlike many fast-growing Dallas suburbs, it has retained its rolling hills, mature trees, scenic roads, and inviting small-town atmosphere. Here, you'll find everything from impressive custom-built estates on acreage to luxury golf course residences, waterfront properties, and thoughtfully designed newer neighborhoods.

With a population of approximately 12,000 residents, Heath feels like its own little enclave tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the Metroplex. Yet shopping, dining, entertainment, excellent recreational opportunities, and the conveniences of nearby Rockwall are only minutes away.

If Rockwall offers the excitement of lakeside suburban living, Heath offers a quieter, more private version of that same wonderful lifestyle.
