HEATH, TEXAS

THE BEST OF TWO WORLDS.

Located just 25 miles from Downtown Dallas, Heath is an upscale community with a friendly lakeside vibe.

Situated over 12 square miles on the Eastern shore of Lake Ray Hubbard, Heath is an involved member city of the fast-growing Rockwall and Kaufman Counties. Yet careful and selective development has intentionally retained the highly desired rural feel with views of rolling hills and pastures, grazing horses and cattle, sail boats skimming the lake, and the Dallas skyline beyond.

UNIQUE FEATURES

HISTORY

Founded in 1880, Heath’s earliest settlers were farming families. Today, more than 8,100 residents enjoy a unique a sense of being removed from the city bustle. Yet wonderful dining, shopping, recreation and worship choices are within minutes of each doorstep.

AMENITIES

A mild year-round climate invites fishing, boating and water-skiing more days than not, and world class sailing can be found at Rush Creek Yacht Club. Buffalo Creek Golf Club is one of Texas’ finest championship golf courses, and a new course at the master-planned Heath Golf & Yacht Club community is now open. In addition to the fields and facilities at Towne Center Park, there are boat ramps, a picnic pavilion and walking path at the waterfront Terry Park.

PARKS

With a recently updated Park and Recreation Master Plan, the city is dedicated to investing in park enhancements and a trail system that provides citywide connectivity including access to the Town Center Overlay District, where new retail and restaurant development is concentrated. The Park Board and City Council are also planning a $12 million renovation of the Towne Center Park.

ENTERTAINMENT

Another new attraction is a dining and entertainment venue that’s drawing both residents and visitors with its great food, music and fun. City-sponsored gatherings include seasonal events throughout the year.

SAFETY

A big part of what makes Heath special is the peace of mind residents and businesses have knowing that the Heath Department of Public Safety is protecting and serving our community 24/7 with first responders who are triple certified as police officers, fire fighters and EMT’s.

EDUCATION

Heath is served by the Rockwall ISD, but you’ll quickly learn that “H” is more than just a letter as our community proudly supports the Hawks at Heath High School as well as the future Hawks attending three elementary schools and a middle school.

Take that short drive from Dallas to Heath, and you’ll discover the best of both worlds when it comes to small town living close to the amenities of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
