Rentals are mostly houses, and I-30 across the lake into Dallas is the main commute. - **FM-740 Corridor**: FM-740, known locally as Laurence Drive, is Heath's main road and heads north toward Rockwall and I-30. The town's small retail cluster and Rockwall-Heath High School sit near where it meets FM-549, and that stretch gets busy at school times. - **Buffalo Creek**: Buffalo Creek is a golf course neighborhood with homes along the fairways and the creek it's named for. Expect larger houses on lots with big old trees, and a short drive north to Rockwall's shopping. - **FM-549 Corridor**: FM-549 starts at SH-66 near Rockwall, runs south to SH-205 and swings southwest to meet FM-740 in Heath. Along it you'll pass newer subdivisions and open land, with the junction near the high school as the main landmark. - **Terry Park**: Terry Park is Heath's lakeside city park on Terry Lane, with a wide boat ramp onto Lake Ray Hubbard. The nearby streets are houses, many with water views. ## Heath Apartment Locator Help With Lakefront House Leases - Dock and boat slip terms, to get in writing before you sign a waterfront lease - Well, septic and the power company to ask about on the bigger lots before you budget - Rockwall or Forney suggested early when you need an apartment instead of a house ## Roads North to Rockwall and West to Dallas FM-740 runs north to Rockwall and I-30, and south to Forney and US-80. Downtown Dallas is about 25 to 30 miles west on I-30. With no traffic it takes about 43 minutes by our drive times. At 8am it's about 55, and most of the slowdown comes at the Lake Ray Hubbard bridge. There's no train or regular bus route. Rockwall County's STAR Transit has rides you book ahead, but you'll drive for nearly everything. Shopping and doctors are mostly up FM-740 in Rockwall, along I-30 and at The Harbor. Terry Park on the lake and Towne Center Park are the town's own green spaces. ## Houses on the lake, and three questions for every lease Zoning for big lots keeps out apartment complexes, so nearly every rental is a house, and some have Lake Ray Hubbard frontage. For a regular apartment, look to Rockwall or Forney. A Heath house lease comes down to three questions. First, who supplies power: Oncor, where you can compare plans, or a co-op, where there's no plan to shop. Second, whether the lot runs on well and septic. Third, on the water, what the dock or slip includes and who insures and fixes it. Get each answer written into the lease, not just said at the showing. Individual owners set the screening, so each house is its own conversation. ## Lake life in Heath Heath is a small lakeside city where days center on Lake Ray Hubbard, a handful of local restaurants and quick trips into Rockwall. Most drives toward Dallas cross the lake on I-30. ### Boat ramps and a lakeside trail Terry Park, on Lake Ray Hubbard's East Fork arm, is Heath's public door to the water, reached from FM 740 by way of Smirl and Terry Lane. It was renovated in recent years and has boat ramps, courtesy docks, a pavilion, picnic tables, restrooms and a walking trail about a mile long. It's the spot for launching a boat, a picnic by the water or a sunset walk. - **Lake Ray Hubbard** (lake): The big lake on Heath's west side, for boating, paddling and fishing from spring into fall. - **Terry Park** (park): Launch a boat or kayak early on a summer weekend, or walk the lakeside trail at sunset. ### Wings, Tex-Mex and dinner by the lake Most of Heath's restaurants sit in the small cluster near FM 740 and FM 549, with a few more toward Rockwall. Expect wings, Tex-Mex, Italian, sushi and boba more than late bars. For a bigger night out, The Harbor on the Rockwall side of the lake is a short drive. - **Standard Service** (American): A popular local spot, good for lunch or dinner with a group. - **Wings Over Heath** (wings): A wing spot close to the middle of town for game nights and easy takeout. - **Manny's Tex-Mex** (Tex-Mex): An easy weeknight dinner close to home in the town center. ### One grocery store, and Rockwall for the rest Tom Thumb, near the middle of town, is Heath's grocery store for weekly staples and prescriptions. For a big box trip, Rockwall's stores, among them the H-E-B at I-30 and John King Boulevard, are a short drive north on FM 740. - **Tom Thumb** (grocery): Heath's own grocery store, close to the middle of town, for the weekly run and the pharmacy. ### What we tell renters about Heath Most drives into Dallas cross Lake Ray Hubbard on I-30, and our times show what rush hour costs you.

Rentals are houses, many on large or lakefront lots. Rockwall to the north has real apartment choices, and Forney to the south is adding more. Does a lakefront rental in Heath include the dock? Sometimes. Whether the dock or slip comes with the house varies, and so do upkeep and insurance. Get the details written into the lease. Do Heath houses run on wells? Some on larger lots do, with septic too. Ask who maintains the system and pumps the tank, and see what the lease says, before you compare rents. Is my Heath house on Oncor? Some are, so you can shop on Power to Choose. Others are on a co-op, so there's no plan to shop. Confirm it for the exact address. Is Heath in Rockwall ISD? Rockwall ISD serves most of the city. Look up the exact address before you decide on it. What's the drive from Heath to Dallas like? North on FM-740 to I-30, then west about 25 to 30 miles.
