Renter's guide to The Colony, TX

The Colony is a scenic northwest suburb of Dallas, TX, that's conveniently located less than 30 miles from downtown. Sitting along the eastern shoreline of Lewisville Lake, this mid-sized community is a comfortable place for people of all walks of life to live, work, and play.

The 16 sq. mile area was originally named Peters Colony after the community's founder. Then, upon being established as a city in 1977, it was changed simply to The Colony. Nowadays, it is also known as the City by the Lake and is commonly considered one of the region’s best-kept secrets by locals and visitors alike.

The weather in The Colony is typical of Texas, where summer days average around 85ºF and mild winter temperatures dip to just below 60ºF. Whatever the season, with 23 miles of shapely shoreline and hundreds of acres of wilderness, it's an ideal location for anyone who loves the water as well as wildlife.

The Colony, TX Demographics

Total Population43,791
Female 21,749

Male 22,042
Median Age35.2

Cost of Living in The Colony, TX

The median household income in The Colony is roughly 30% higher than other cities in Texas and 20% higher than the national average. Therefore, whether you're renting an apartment in The Colony or a house, you'll find prices to be a bit higher than in neighboring suburbs, but not a whole lot. Also keep in mind that utilities, food, and entertainment might cost approximately 10% more.

For example, you might pay $15 for a meal at a local restaurant vs. $12 in similar surrounding cities. And the average monthly electric bill is around $130, but that can increase slightly if cranking the AC in the summer. So, with all things considered, it makes sense that the area seems to attract individuals and families making middle to upper income.

Since it's a smaller city, there isn't really any public transportation, so be prepared for that. There is an Amtrak Station, however, around a half-hour away, and taxi services are always available. Furthermore, the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is a smooth 25-mile car ride.
