Elevon is a master-planned community in Lavon, Texas, projected to include roughly 4,373 single-family homes along with about 122 acres of mixed-use and commercial space at full buildout. The community is organized into four major sections — Trailside Commons in Section 1 and The Retreat in Section 2 are active today, with additional future residential, school, and commercial areas planned beyond that. Elevon is still under construction, so the neighborhood will continue to take shape and evolve over the coming years.
One of Elevon's biggest draws is its location near Lake Lavon, a roughly 21,400-acre lake offering boating, fishing, camping, picnicking, and trail access. For residents who enjoy spending time outdoors, that proximity makes casual day trips — a morning on the water or an afternoon picnic — an easy part of the regular routine rather than a planned getaway.
The community is designed around an outdoors-first, trail-centered concept, with more than 12 miles of connected trails linking parks, ponds, fitness stations, playgrounds, and future amenity centers. Residents also have access to a creek corridor, dog parks, clubhouse and pavilion spaces, resort-style pools, and splash zones. Trailside Commons serves as the phase-one amenity center open today, with The Retreat planned as the next major amenity hub — all designed so recreation is built into daily life rather than treated as an occasional extra.
Elevon stands out for its broad builder lineup, currently including D.R. Horton, HistoryMaker Homes, KB Home, K. Hovnanian Homes, M/I Homes, Pacesetter Homes, Trophy Signature Homes, and UnionMain Homes, with Grand Homes and Risewell Homes listed as coming soon. Available homes span roughly 1,243 to 3,916 square feet, with both one-story and two-story options, and the broader community plan includes lot types ranging from 26-foot duplex lots to 70-foot single-family lots — giving buyers more flexibility in floor plans, price points, and design styles than a smaller subdivision typically offers.
Elevon sits on Highway 78 in Lavon, about five miles north of Interstate 30 and roughly eight miles south of Highway 380, with the President George Bush Turnpike's eastern extension providing a more direct route between north Dallas or south Collin County and eastern Dallas County. It's a drive-first location well suited to buyers commuting into Dallas, Collin County, or nearby suburban job centers, with additional access to Lake Ray Hubbard, Rockwall, and other nearby retail and dining destinations.
Elevon is currently served by Community ISD, with students able to attend schools spanning pre-K through high school at current campuses located in Lavon and Nevada. The community has also reserved land for a potential future onsite school should enrollment growth warrant it — a detail worth keeping an eye on for buyers planning long-term.
Elevon tends to appeal most to buyers who want new-construction choices from multiple builders, a trail-focused outdoor lifestyle, and proximity to Lake Lavon recreation, along with those who don't mind being part of a community that's still growing. Because the full amenity package and future retail will arrive in phases, buyers who need every convenience fully built out today may prefer comparing Elevon with more established neighborhoods nearby.
