Most rentals are houses and duplexes, with a few small complexes, all mostly in Lake Dallas ISD. - **Hickory Creek**: Hickory Creek is the small town next to Lake Dallas along I-35E, mostly subdivisions of houses near the lake's western arm. Rentals are leased homes and a few duplexes, and Denton is about 15 minutes north. - **Shady Shores**: Shady Shores is a small lakeside town between Lake Dallas and Denton, mostly houses on large lots with almost no apartments. Shady Shores Road connects it to I-35E. - **Lake Dallas Main Street**: Main Street is Lake Dallas's old shopping strip, a few blocks of older buildings near the rail line. The DCTA A-train uses that line but passes through without stopping. Rentals within walking distance are older houses and duplexes. - **I-35E Corridor**: I-35E carries traffic between Denton and Dallas through both towns, crossing Lewisville Lake on a long bridge just south of Lake Dallas. The area's few apartment complexes sit near the frontage roads, and Swisher Road is the main exit. ## Lake Dallas Apartments and Lake Houses Along I-35E - We put houses, duplexes and lake rentals on one list with the few apartments here - We ask about the power company, well and septic before you set a budget - We ask the owner about boat slip and marina rights, since a lakeside address doesn't include them ## I-35E, the lake bridge and the nearest A-train I-35E is the main road: south over the lake bridge to Lewisville and north to Denton, with Shady Shores just north of Lake Dallas. Most trips south use that bridge. Time the weekday morning crossing before you sign. Neither town has a rail station. The A-train runs along I-35E, and the closest stops are in Highland Village and Denton. Willow Grove Park, Sycamore Bend Park and Hickory Creek Park are the main public ways onto the water, and Lake Dallas has a small Main Street. ## Most Rentals Here Are Houses, Some on Wells Expect houses, duplexes and lake homes leased by their owners, not by big management companies. Want a pool and a leasing office? Few complexes here have them, but Lewisville, just south across the bridge, has plenty. Much of this part of Denton County buys power from a rural electric company. Some homes outside the town cores use a well or septic system, which adds its own costs and upkeep. Ask about both before you apply. Owners here look at income most, so a lower credit score can still work. A home near the water comes with a boat slip or marina rights only when the lease says so (living by the shore isn't enough). ## Day to day on the Lewisville Lake shore Lake Dallas and Hickory Creek are two small lake towns on either side of I-35E. Daily life runs on the car, the water is a few minutes from most streets, and bigger shopping sits in Denton or Lewisville. ### Driving I-35E and the lake crossing Almost every trip here starts on I-35E, which carries you south over Lewisville Lake on a long causeway bridge toward Lewisville and Dallas. At 8am we clock Legacy West at about 25 minutes, DFW Airport at 27, the Medical District at 35 and Downtown Dallas at 41. The DCTA A-train rolls through Lake Dallas but has no stop in town, and bus service is thin, so plan on keeping a car for work and errands. - **I-35E Lewisville Lake bridge** (highway bridge): This is the one quick way south, so give yourself a few spare minutes on weekday mornings in case a slowdown backs up the bridge. ### Swims, boat ramps and campsites Lewisville Lake is the main reason people pick these towns. Willow Grove Park in Lake Dallas has a swim cove kept apart from boats, a one lane boat ramp, a fishing pier and a playground. The city sells passes for the ramp. Hickory Creek Park, run by the Army Corps of Engineers on the lake's Hickory Creek arm, is a campground where every site is booked ahead. Copperas Branch Park, over the bridge, and Lake Dallas City Park are close by for a picnic. - **Willow Grove Park** (lake park): Go on a weekday afternoon for a quiet swim in the cove, or come early on weekends to launch a kayak before the ramp fills. - **Hickory Creek Park** (campground): Book a site ahead, since walk ups aren't taken, and spend a night by the water without leaving town. - **Copperas Branch Park** (lake park): Cross the bridge for a lakeside picnic or a walk by the water when the parks in town feel crowded. ### Eating out near the exits Eating out here means a few well known local places near the highway exits, not a district of bars. Angelina's Mexican Restaurant, Elm Fork Taphouse & Kitchen and Don Camillo Tuscan Grill are the names most people know, each within about a mile of the middle of town. For more patios and later nights, Denton is about 15 minutes north and Lewisville is just across the lake. - **Angelina's Mexican Restaurant** (Tex-Mex): Our pick for an easy weeknight plate of Tex-Mex close to home, without a drive across the lake. - **Elm Fork Taphouse & Kitchen** (bar and grill): Stop in for a burger and a beer after a day on the lake, a short drive from the water. - **Don Camillo Tuscan Grill** (Italian): Save this one for a sit down dinner date, when you want pasta and a quieter room without the drive to Denton. ### Groceries close to home Albertsons and ALDI are the two big grocery stores, each under 2 miles from the middle of town near the highway. That covers most weekly runs. For a big box store, a mall or more grocery choices, plan a drive south over the bridge to Lewisville or north up I-35E to Denton. - **Albertsons** (grocery): The full grocery store with a pharmacy, close enough for a quick stop on the way home from the highway. - **ALDI** (grocery): Go here for a low cost weekly stock up; bring a quarter for the cart and your own bags. ### What we tell renters looking here If you plan to launch a boat, Lake Dallas sells passes for the ramp at Willow Grove. The yearly pass is for city residents only, so check that the address is inside Lake Dallas city limits. The A-train never stops here, so a train commute means driving to a station first. The bridge is the only direct way south, so time your commute on a weekday morning before you sign. ## Lake Dallas & Hickory Creek questions Are there apartment complexes in Lake Dallas or Hickory Creek? A few. Mostly it's houses, duplexes and lake rentals. For a leasing office and a pool, Lewisville just south has far more. Do Lake Dallas homes use co-op electric? Many do. Those homes pay one company's rate, and you can't shop for a plan. Ask who supplies the address before you budget. Will a Hickory Creek rental be on septic? Some outside the town cores are, along with wells. That changes costs and upkeep, so ask the owner which system the home uses. How do I get onto Lewisville Lake from here? Through Willow Grove, Sycamore Bend and Hickory Creek parks. You only get a boat slip or marina access if the lease says so. Is my address in Lake Dallas ISD? Most homes in both towns are. The boundary doesn't follow obvious streets, so look up the exact address. Do owners here work with low credit? Often. Owners decide one renter at a time and look at income first. Need more choices? Lewisville and Denton have many more rentals. How close is Lewisville to Lake Dallas? Just south across the I-35E bridge, with Denton a short drive north. Both have far more rentals, and we can put them on the same list. Around the two towns, apartment one bedrooms run near $1,267 today. Is there an apartment locator near Lake Dallas and Hickory Creek? Yes. Here we mostly follow owners who lease houses, duplexes and lake homes. We ask what matters in these towns: co-op or Oncor, well or city water, slip or no slip. ## Near Lake Dallas & Hickory Creek Lewisville is across the lake bridge to the south, Corinth borders the north side along I-35E, and The Colony sits on the far shore. ### Lewisville Old Town Lewisville · Castle Hills · Mill Street [Lewisville →](/neighborhoods/lewisville/) ### Corinth I-35E Frontage · Corinth Parkway · FM 2181 [Corinth →](/neighborhoods/corinth/) ### The Colony Austin Ranch · The Tribute · Grandscape District [The Colony →](/neighborhoods/the-colony/) ## Looking in Lake Dallas & Hickory Creek?
