About The Colony

Down to its very name, The Colony is a city in northeastern Texas that puts its primary focus on community. Rich in traditional Texas history and values, The Colony is a well-planned residential development, considered a “dream city”, that was not officially in existence until the mid 1970s. Made up of what was previously named Peters Colony, what is now The Colony honors the traditions of Texas past and looks to the future as it continues to grow and thrive.

Called “the City by the Lake”, The Colony boasts a beautiful landscape, nestled up against Lewisville Lake. Lewisville Lake provides many water sport activities to The Colony’s residents, along with gorgeous lakeside homes for residents lucky enough to afford the luxury. Parks with miles of well-kept trails are available for walkers, trail runners, and hikers alike. Picnic areas are kept clean and well maintained, making a day by the lake the perfect weekend activity for families looking for something fun to do.

Being named both Tree City USA and Playful City USA in the recent past, The Colony prides itself on all of the beautiful trees and parks facilities that it has to offer its residents. Families love all of the lush, green areas within the community, and the city has put a huge priority on keeping it that way, despite all of the growth and development that The Colony has seen in the past several years. Families take comfort in knowing that the values of The Colony are set in stone.

Location is so important to residents of The Colony. They enjoy all of the recreational activities that come with lakeside life, and also their close proximity to downtown Dallas and the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

With a super active Parks and Recreation Department, the city of The Colony offers its residents a wide variety of activities, programs, projects, and events.
