Lucas, Texas
Population: 2,800
Located in Collin County
Situated in northern Texas, Lucas is in an ideal location. It is approximately 45 miles north of Fort Worth and 20 miles northwest of Dallas, which makes it a perfect city for commuters. The real value of this location, however, can be found in its close proximity to the headquarters of big-name corporations such as AT&T, Bell Semiconductor, and Daisytek. These companies provide almost unlimited opportunities for employment. Not only is Lucas near all these wonderful companies, and close to one of the largest cities in the United States, Lucas also has exemplary school districts. The corporations fund many of the public schools, and provide technology that has created one of the best school districts in the Northern Texas area. In Lucas, recreational facilities abound. There is a plethora of sports and athletic activities to choose from: basketball, baseball, football, volleyball, and swim teams. In addition, there are acres of parks and open spaces with hiking and biking trails, playgrounds, and ball fields. Housing is more than reasonable, especially in an area as desirable as this! Brand new construction is going up, but most of the homes in this city are built on large lots, some of them over 2 acres in size. Many of these homes allow for horses too! A large 3,000 square foot home starts at $184,000. There are however many different homes and condos, town homes, apartments and garden homes to choose from and prices that start in the low $50,000's. The weather here is as close to perfect as weather can be without emigrating to Aruba! Hot, somewhat humid summers give way to mild, warm fall, which in turn move to pleasant winters, where if you are lucky (or unlucky depending on how you feel about the cold) you may experience and ice storm. Winter lasts only a few weeks before the balmy days turn into a definite spring. Lucas has become a popular place for those who desire to move away from the larger, metropolitan area of Dallas and Fort Worth, and want the slower pace of suburban/country life. With Lucas, residents certainly experience the best of both! So you can come home at the end of a day at work, and saddle up and ride into the proverbial sunset without even leaving your backyard!
