Les Lacs

A quiet, fully built-out single-family pocket inside Addison’s 4.4 square miles

Les Lacs, French for "the lakes," is an established single-family enclave in Addison, organized around the water features that give it its name. It is a fully built-out community with its own homeowners association (the Town of Addison’s plan-room archive holds Les Lacs Homeowners as-built documentation dating to 1996), so there is no construction traffic and no phase-by-phase buildout ahead of you. Homes run roughly 2,201–2,826 square feet, a tight and consistent size band that helps keep values stable street to street. That matters more than it sounds in Addison: only about 18% of the town’s 10,795 occupied housing units are owner-occupied, so an actual house you can buy here is genuinely scarce inventory.

Check these before you offer

The trade-offs a listing will not mention. None of these are reasons not to buy here; they are the things worth pricing in.

The stock is 1980s and 1990s, so condition rather than square footage sets the price. Roofs, HVAC, kitchens, baths and foundation history are where the money is, and two similar-looking houses can be worth very different amounts.
The association's dues are not published, so the resale certificate is the only reliable source for what you will actually pay and what it covers.
School assignment is genuinely uncertain until you check it. Addison is split between Dallas ISD and Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD and the line does not follow neighborhood boundaries.
Inventory is thin. A fully built-out enclave in a town that is mostly rental means few homes come up, so buyers should expect to wait rather than to choose.
Water features are an amenity with a maintenance and drainage story behind them. Ask who maintains them and what the association spends on it.

Les Lacs: Frequently Asked Questions

What schools does Les Lacs feed to?

Addison is not a single-district town. It is split between Dallas ISD and Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD depending on where you are, and the line does not follow neighborhood boundaries neatly. Do not take a listing agent’s word for it. Run the exact address through the Dallas ISD SchoolSite Locator (dallasisd.org/departments/demographic-studies/find-your-school/schoolsite-locator-interactive-map) and confirm with the district before you go under contract. Mali will pull it for any address you’re considering.

Is Addison in Collin County?

No. Addison is in Dallas County. It is often lumped in with the Collin County suburbs because it sits on the Dallas North Tollway between Dallas and Plano, but its taxing entities, county services, and school districts are Dallas County ones.

Why are there so few houses for sale in Addison?

Because there are so few houses, period. Roughly 82% of Addison’s occupied housing units are renter-occupied, and the town is dominated by apartments and mixed-use density. Established single-family pockets like Les Lacs are a small slice of a 4.4-square-mile town, which is exactly why they hold their value. Expect limited inventory and be ready to move when something lists.

What condition are Les Lacs homes in?

This is 1980s–1990s stock, so condition and renovation level drive price more than square footage does. Two homes of nearly identical size can trade very differently depending on kitchens, baths, roof, HVAC, and foundation history. Budget for an inspection and, on anything unrenovated, get real bids before you commit.
