It's new houses so far, and Wylie and the George Bush Turnpike are about 15 minutes southwest. - **Lakepointe**: Lakepointe is a newer community of about 200 acres across SH-78 from Elevon. Like the rest of Lavon it's new houses, with Lake Lavon's south shore a short drive north. - **Grand Heritage**: Grand Heritage is a Bloomfield Homes community with a large resort style pool and a clubhouse, set between Lake Lavon and Lake Ray Hubbard. Homes are new builder houses, and SH-78 and SH-205 are the roads out. - **Hillstead**: Hillstead sits off FM-483 and SH-205 at Lavon's south end, just north of Rockwall. It has its own trails, clubhouses and pools, and rentals here are new houses. - **Historic Lavon**: Old Lavon is the small cluster of older homes and city buildings near SH-78, close to where SH-205 branches south toward Rockwall. Lake Lavon's south shore is just north, and most shopping is in Wylie. ## Lavon Apartments and Rental Houses by Lavon Lake - We sort rental home companies and private owners by how they screen and who offers conditional approval - We ask for the HOA rules on pets, parking and lawn care before you sign, since renters have to follow them - We ask whether the address gets co-op or Oncor power, as many Lavon streets can't shop on Power to Choose ## SH-78 west, and the lake next door SH-78 is the road in and out, west through Wylie toward Sachse and Garland. Lavon has no DART service, no rail and no regular bus, so plan on driving for everything. Westbound SH-78 slows at the morning rush. At 8am, a drive into Wylie or Garland runs well past what the map shows. On weekends the lake is close: East Fork Park and Lavonia Park, run by the Corps of Engineers, have boat ramps and shoreline a few minutes from most homes. ## Houses for rent, HOA rules and co-op power Want an apartment community with a leasing office and lots of floor plans? Wylie and Garland are the better search. Lavon grew through subdivisions, so its rentals are mostly houses in places like Elevon, Lakepointe, Grand Heritage, Hillstead and the original town center. The rental home companies have set income and credit minimums, and most say yes with an extra deposit or a co-signer. Private owners decide one renter at a time. In almost every subdivision, renters follow the HOA rules too, on parking, pets and lawns. Many homes in this corner of Collin County get power from an electric co-op at its own rate. Others get Oncor. Get the provider's name for the exact address before you budget. ## Lake days and long drives in Lavon Lavon is a small town on SH-78 at the south end of Lavon Lake, where new houses are going up fast. The lake is the backyard, and most errands mean a drive toward Wylie. ### The SH-78 commute SH-78 is the one main road through Lavon, running southwest to Wylie and the George Bush Turnpike. Our 8am drive times run about 49 minutes to Legacy West in Plano, 66 to Downtown Dallas, 66 to DFW Airport and 69 to the Medical District. There's no train service out here, so everything is by car. - **State Highway 78** (highway): This is your road to work and errands; traffic builds toward Wylie in the morning, so leave early. ### Beaches and boat ramps on Lavon Lake The Army Corps of Engineers runs the parks around Lavon Lake. Lavonia Park, a short drive from town, has a campground, a swim beach and a boat ramp. Mallard Park and Little Ridge Park are close by. Swim beaches are open April through September, with no lifeguards. A day use fee covers the beach and picnic areas, but the boat ramps are free. - **Lavonia Park** (lake park): Pay the day fee and spend a summer afternoon at the beach; no lifeguards are on duty, so swim with a friend. - **Mallard Park** (lake park): Launch a boat or fish from the shore on a calm morning, when the water is flat. ### What we tell renters about Lavon When the lake runs high after heavy rain, the Corps has closed Lavonia, Mallard and other parks for flooding, so check before you pack the car. Lavon has few stores, so plan grocery runs toward Wylie. The commute is long at 8am, which is the trade for life next to the water. ## Lavon questions How close is Lake Lavon to addresses here? Very close. The lake sits just northwest of town. East Fork Park, with its main boat ramp, and Lavonia Park are a short drive from most homes. It's the main reason to choose Lavon over a similar house in Wylie. Are there actual apartments here or mostly houses? Mostly houses, plus a few apartment communities built since 2024. If a leasing office and lots of choice matter, we'll show you Wylie and Garland too. Within a short drive, apartment one bedrooms run around $1,198 today. Which power company serves Lavon homes? That comes down to the address. Many homes get power from one electric co-op, with no plans to compare. Homes on Oncor lines can shop for a plan. Which school district serves my address here? Community ISD serves most of Lavon, and some newer streets on the south side, such as Hillstead, are in Wylie ISD. Check the exact address with the district. How slow is SH-78 toward Wylie and Garland? Slow westbound in the morning. The 8am trip takes far longer than a midday map estimate, so drive it from the address before you compare two rents. Can I rent in Lavon after credit trouble? Often. The rental home companies have set rules, but most approve with a bigger deposit or a co-signer. Private owners often decide one renter at a time, which can leave room for a low score. Is there an apartment locator near Lavon? Yes. In Lavon we mostly track rental houses from rental home companies and owners in Elevon, Lakepointe, Grand Heritage and Hillstead. We ask about HOA rules and the power company before we send them. ## Near Lavon Wylie is the next stop west on SH-78, Princeton sits north across the lake, and Farmersville lies northeast. ### Wylie Downtown Wylie · FM-544 Corridor · SH-78 Corridor [Wylie →](/neighborhoods/wylie/) ### Princeton Downtown Princeton · US-380 Corridor · Original town core [Princeton →](/neighborhoods/princeton/) ### Farmersville Historic Downtown Farmersville · US-380 Corridor · East Farmersville [Farmersville →](/neighborhoods/farmersville/) ## Looking in Lavon?
