What it's like
The short version
Lakewood Village is a Denton County town on a peninsula in Lewisville Lake, with water on three sides at the foot of the lake's toll bridge. Incorporated in 1977, it began with a planned golf course and two small-plane runways. It became an International Dark Sky Community in 2019.
What's for sale
Homes sold at a three-month median near $608,000 through June 2026, on five sales. The Enclave has 68 lots 50 feet wide, and The Arbors has lots of about one-third to one-half acre, along Eldorado Parkway. The town has water and sewer service, so septic systems are not needed.

The honest part
What to know first
- The town's list of Lewisville Lake ramps names none inside Lakewood Village.
- Private use of public lake land is not permitted, and any structure at or below 537 feet needs written Corps permission.
- DCTA's service page names Denton, Lewisville, Highland Village and Frisco, not Lakewood Village.
Not its strength: transit options, vibrant, big-city energy, a real downtown, restaurants, nightlife, shopping, parks and trails, land and acreage, established neighborhoods, luxury homes.
Not rated yet: walkable, golf, horses welcome. That means I haven't confirmed it either way, not that it isn't here.
