Original Colony Neighborhoods, The Colony
The Fox and Jacobs sections that started The Colony in 1974, platted as numbered Colony subdivisions with 1970s and 1980s brick homes.
Inside Original Colony Neighborhoods
Before Grandscape and The Tribute, The Colony was a Fox and Jacobs home development. The builder bought about 3,000 acres near SH 121 and FM 423 in 1973, the first families moved in by October 1974, and the city incorporated in January 1977. Those early neighborhoods are still platted as numbered sections, such as Colony No. 18 and Colony 19, with mostly single-story brick homes from the late 1970s and 1980s. They fit first-time buyers, investors and anyone who wants a yard close to SH 121 at a lower price than newer parts of town.
The lesson here is that these homes are priced on condition. One Colony No. 18 listing at $342,000 disclosed a 2024 foundation repair and a 2025 sewer line replacement, which is the kind of work I ask about on every home this age. If you are selling, have the repair paperwork and any transferable warranty ready, because it calms buyers and appraisers; if you are buying, I budget for foundation, sewer and roof inspections up front so there are no surprises.

The original Fox and Jacobs sections sit in central The Colony (ZIP 75056) around North Colony Boulevard, between SH 121 to the south and Lewisville Lake to the west.
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.
