Waterview

Rowlett's 725-acre golf-course master-plan on the west shore of Lake Ray Hubbard

Waterview is a Huffines-developed, roughly 725-acre master-planned community in northwestern Rowlett (75089, Dallas County), built out mostly from the late 1990s through the early 2010s. It is organized around the Waterview Golf Club, a public par-72 course, and threaded with community lakes, a resort-style waterpark, more than a dozen neighborhood parks, trails, tennis courts, and sand volleyball. Housing runs from 1990s and 2000s brick two-stories to larger custom homes on and around the course, so the price spread inside a single subdivision name is wide. Recent third-party data put the median sale price around the low-$400Ks over the trailing twelve months (as of mid-2026); treat that as a starting point, not a quote, and ask for current comps on the specific street. Rowlett sits mostly in Dallas County and Garland ISD, with only the city's easternmost edge in Rockwall County and Rockwall ISD.

Waterview: Frequently Asked Questions

How much do homes cost in Waterview, Rowlett?

Third-party data put the median sale price around the low-$400Ks over the trailing twelve months (as of mid-2026), but the range is wide: standard 1990s–2000s two-stories can start in the mid-$300Ks, while larger homes on or near the golf course, or in gated pockets like Broadmoor Estates, run well into the $600Ks–$700Ks. Prices move, so ask Mali for current comps on the specific street before relying on any figure here.

What schools are Waterview homes zoned to?

Waterview is in Garland ISD (Rowlett sits in Dallas County here). The home campuses are generally Keeley or Liberty Grove Elementary depending on the street, then Vernon Schrade Middle School and Sachse High School. Garland ISD assigns a home campus by address but also runs a district-wide 'Choose Your School' open-enrollment program, so families can apply to campuses outside their zone. Confirm your exact address with the Garland ISD boundary tool, since assignments can change. Note that Rowlett's easternmost, Rockwall-County pockets are in Rockwall ISD instead — Waterview is not one of them, but it's why you should always verify by address.

Does Waterview have an HOA and golf-course fees?

Yes. Waterview has a master homeowners association that maintains common areas, parks, trails, and resident access to the waterpark and pools, and some subdivisions within it add their own dues. The Waterview Golf Club is a public course, so green fees and any club membership are separate from HOA dues. Because amounts vary by section and change over time, confirm the current HOA figure in the disclosure documents before writing an offer.
