What Lakeside at Heath is like
Lakeside at Heath is a single-family neighborhood west of FM 740 at the south end of the Heath area, in ZIP 75126. One fact changes how the rest reads: it is not inside the City of Heath. The Rockwall Herald-Banner and Heath's own Planning and Zoning minutes place it in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction, the band outside the city limits where a city reviews plats and little else, and the state's HOA registry lists its association in Kaufman County.
The name and Travis Ranch
The land was planned as part of Travis Ranch, the larger development to the south. On April 11, 2017 the Heath City Council tabled the Phase 3 preliminary plat because it carried the name Lakeside at Heath and not Travis Ranch, the Herald-Banner reported. The developer's representative, David Booth, asked the council why the name mattered when the land sits in Heath's jurisdiction. The article does not report how the question ended; the neighborhood, its HOA and its recorded covenants all use Lakeside at Heath today.
Size, builder and ages
The same article gives Phase 3 as 434 residential lots on 98.689 acres. We did not find a public figure for all phases together. The covenants were recorded in Kaufman County on March 31, 2015 by CTMGT Travis Ranch 3G FL2, LLC. A first amendment recorded in 2017 states that D.R. Horton entities owned a majority of the lots, and sets a minimum of 1,800 square feet of air-conditioned space per home. A supplemental declaration recorded October 16, 2018 added more land. That puts the homes at 2015 and later. Heath's 2022 minutes name Black Hills Boulevard and Lily Lane as streets here.
The HOA and the pool
The association is Lakeside at Heath Homeowner's Association, Inc. Its management certificate, recorded March 30, 2026, names Essex Association Management L.P. of Addison as managing agent. The association's site describes a community pool under 24-hour video surveillance that opens with an activated key card, and describes the neighborhood as oversized homesites in Rockwall ISD, minutes from The Harbor in Rockwall. We did not find the dues on a developer, builder or newspaper page; the resale certificate states them. No public page we read says the streets are gated.
Taxes and services outside the city limits
Because the neighborhood is outside the city, there is no City of Heath property tax on these lots, and a municipal utility district tax takes its place. A 2019 bond statement for Kaufman County Municipal Utility District No. 6 says Travis Ranch is served by districts 5, 6 and 7, that sewer service comes from the City of Heath and water from Forney Lake Water Supply Corporation, and that Heath agreed not to annex district land until it is fully developed. We could not confirm on an official page which of the three districts covers Lakeside at Heath or its current rate. The tax certificate and the Kaufman Central Appraisal District record for the lot name the district and the rate.
Schools
The neighborhood is in Rockwall ISD, though it is in Kaufman County. On the district's attendance zone map effective for the 2026-2027 school year, Lily Lane and Black Hills Boulevard fall in the Linda Lyon Elementary zone, with the campus drawn beside them on Trophy Drive, inside the Maurine Cain Middle School boundary. That is our reading of a color map. The district's history page says Rockwall-Heath High School serves all students south of Interstate 30. The district answers address questions through its attendance zone inquiry form.
What sits next to it
Heath Golf and Yacht Club is the neighbor to the north and west; it is a separate community with its own association, club and assessment district, covered on our Heath Golf and Yacht Club page. In 2022 Lakeside at Heath residents spoke against an Oncor service center proposed across FM 740, and Heath's Planning and Zoning Commission approved the site plan five to one.
