Garza Lake Estates, The Colony
A no-HOA lakeside subdivision along West Shore Drive in The Colony, mixing older homes, new custom builds and buildable lots.
Inside Garza Lake Estates
Garza Lake Estates runs along West Shore Drive on the Lewisville Lake side of The Colony. Listings describe it as having no HOA, with a mix of older homes, buildable city lots and newer custom houses, including a 2021 lakefront home by Our Country Homes listed at $1,195,000 in June 2025. It fits buyers who want to be near the water, have room to build or renovate, and prefer fewer HOA rules.
The lesson here is to verify what lakefront really means on your lot. One listing classed its frontage as Corps of Engineers lake front, so I check the survey to see where the private lot ends and federal shoreline begins, and what that means for access and any dock or path plans, before you pay a lakefront premium. With no HOA, there is no association to enforce standards, so ask for any recorded deed restrictions and look closely at the neighboring lots, because they shape your resale value.

The facts
West Shore Playground across the street from one lot (per listing), Walking distance to Lewisville Lake, Golf courses within about 10 minutes (per listing)
Garza Lake Estates sits along West Shore Drive in The Colony (ZIP 75056) on Lewisville Lake. Listings place it about 15 minutes from Grandscape and The Star in Frisco and about 20 minutes from DFW Airport.
Most of The Colony is in Lewisville ISD, and the combined rate depends on the school district and any special assessments tied to the lot. I pull the taxing entities and the last tax bill for each address so you can see the real monthly cost before you write an offer. One 2026 lot listing showed $1,655 in unexempt taxes on a 0.15 acre lot, a useful baseline for land.
