Cedar Creek Lake waterfront homes

As Dallas has grown, the overcrowding and traffic are increasingly detracting from the quality of life. Residents are looking for places where they can develop a better sense of community and connections, tied with the beauty of nature. These are among the many reasons why individuals and families are turning to the Cedar Creek Lake waterfront homes at Beacon Hill in Kemp, TX.

Since Covid, more people are working remotely, allowing them to move further out from crowded cities like Dallas. As a result, waterfront communities and areas that were more frequently used for vacation homes are now becoming full-time residences.

Even for those working remote part time, the recent highway expansions make the commute back to the city more manageable. Beacon Hill is the closest lakeside community to Dallas, located just 40 minutes away. This benefit isn’t just for work, as the proximity makes trips into the city for everything from appointments to entertainment accessible. Plus, nearby Gun Barrel City is going to be home to a new sports complex that allows for organized sports as well as ways to spend a leisurely day outdoors.

With less time spent commuting in heavy congestion, families are able to spend more quality time together. It’s easy to stay active or relax enjoying the beauty of nature at Cedar Creek Lake. Opportunities include fishing and kayaking, picnicking, exploring local nature trails, and much more. Plus, Beacon Hill has its own interior lake, inviting social spaces, and an expansive community pool. To complement these activities, there are regular neighborhood events and gatherings to foster connections among residents.

Whether you’re spending time with your family or getting to know your neighbors, it’s easy to stay as social as you want, and the luxury homes built at Beacon Hill make it easy to entertain. However, with the beautiful setting, you can easily enjoy privacy and the opportunity to spend time alone enjoying the tranquility of nature. Lakefront living offers this flexibility that is harder to find in city living. We embrace the perfect mix of tranquil nature, community, and urban access.

While there are numerous lifestyle reasons to choose lakefront living, there are also financial benefits. In particular, these homes are excellent long-term investments, particularly in areas where there’s a demand for second homes and vacation homes. Because of their location in a desirable spot with limited availability, lakefront homes consistently appraise higher than inland homes.

If you’re tired of the hustle and grind of gridlock traffic, long commutes, and the lack of nature’s peacefulness, Beacon Hill could be exactly what you need. With stunning scenery, onsite amenities and events, not to mention luxury homes built to your vision, Beacon Hill truly understands the art of lakeside living.
