A peaceful suburb in The Colony with a mix of retail, residences and nature

There's a sprawling section of untouched land outside of Lake Lewisville, hidden in one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country. Austin Ranch is one of The Colony's serene communities, close to nature preserves and a convenient commercial district. "It's just a good location- close to the airport and 121. It's a few minutes to the nature preserve," says local Realtor Rusty Pierce with RE/MAX, who has over 23 years of experience. "The preserve is huge, and there are a lot of popular hiking and biking trails." In addition to its location, Austin Ranch offers spacious new homes and A-rated schools, drawing families and those seeking a convenient Metroplex suburb.
