Waterview is a 725-acre master-planned golf course community in Rowlett, developed by Huffines Communities on the western shore of Lake Ray Hubbard. The neighborhood includes roughly 1,700 homes and has become one of Rowlett's signature addresses, built around golf, water, and an unusually deep amenity package for a community of its size.
At the center of the neighborhood is Waterview Golf Club, a public par-72 course owned by the City of Rowlett and designed by David Graham, which opened in 2000. It plays up to 7,191 yards from the championship tees, winds through 15 acres of lakes and roughly 1,500 trees representing 18 species, and brings water into play on 10 of its 18 holes.
Beyond golf, the HOA runs a private neighborhood waterpark with a Junior Olympic-sized lap pool, two separate kiddie pools, two waterslides, and a splash pad, along with a clubhouse residents can reserve for private events. Additional amenities include tennis courts with pickleball lines, a basketball half-court, 14 neighborhood parks and playgrounds, stocked catch-and-release fishing lakes, a gazebo, and walking and biking trails that connect throughout the development and into Rowlett's broader trail system.
Waterview's setting on Lake Ray Hubbard adds another layer to daily life, with boating, marinas, and lakeside recreation all close by for residents who want an active, outdoor-oriented weekend routine without leaving the area.
Home sizes in Waterview typically range from around 1,700 to just over 4,600 square feet, averaging near 2,800 to 2,900 square feet, with most homes built in the late 1990s through the mid-2000s in traditional and ranch-style architecture, alongside a handful of newer infill builds. That range gives buyers options from comfortably sized starter homes up to larger properties on golf course or water-adjacent lots.
Waterview is served by Garland ISD, which is worth noting since school assignment in Rowlett can vary depending on the specific section of the city.
For commuters, Waterview offers several ways into downtown Dallas: Highway 66 or Main Street to I-30 West covers the roughly 20-mile drive in about 30 minutes off-peak, the President George Bush Turnpike provides an alternate route when I-30 is congested, and the DART Blue Line from the nearby Downtown Rowlett Station offers a car-free option straight into the city.
One note worth knowing for buyers and sellers alike: within Waterview, lot position tends to affect price. True lakefront with private access is scarce and often carries the strongest premium, while golf-front homes with wide fairway views also tend to sell above interior lots, all else being equal.
