Old Town Lewisville is the historic, walkable heart of the city, a district with structures dating back to the 1880s that still feels like the soul of Lewisville today. This is where the city’s identity lives: a downtown square anchored by Wayne Ferguson Plaza, the Lewisville Grand Theater, and a steady calendar of festivals and events, including Western Days, which draws more than 50,000 people in a single weekend. It’s the kind of neighborhood you choose not just for the home, but for the lifestyle that comes with it.
The Lifestyle
Living in Old Town means trading car time for walk time. Restaurants, shops, art events, and concerts are part of daily life here, not something you drive to on the weekend. The Old Town Station commuter rail connects residents to the broader DFW metroplex without needing to fight I-35 traffic, and nearby green space – Central Park, Heritage Park, and the LLELA Nature Preserve – adds outdoor access that balances the urban energy. The city hosts more than 100 events annually in Old Town, ranging from small yoga gatherings on the plaza to major community festivals, which gives the neighborhood a constant, low-key sense of activity.
Randi’s Take
Old Town Lewisville is personal for me – my office is located here, I’ve been involved in the Old Town Business Association, and I’ve watched this district grow into something really special. There’s a warmth here that you don’t get in a typical subdivision; people know each other, businesses support each other, and the events calendar genuinely brings the community together. If you’re considering Old Town, the most important conversation we can have is about what you’re actually buying – a historic home, a traditional home, or a townhome – because the experience and the upkeep are very different depending on which one you choose.
The Homes
Old Town has more housing variety than almost anywhere else in Lewisville. You’ll find original historic bungalows from the early 1900s – many tastefully updated with modern kitchens and systems while preserving original charm – alongside newer infill townhome developments. Some newer construction townhomes even come with no HOA, which is a rarity in this part of DFW. Prices span a wide range depending on whether you’re buying a historic single-family home, or a townhome or condo – generally from the $300Ks into the $700Ks, with select properties running higher.
Because Old Town blends so many property types and eras, it’s worth understanding exactly what you’re buying – a historic home will come with different maintenance considerations than a 2015-built townhome, and HOA structures vary significantly between the older single-family streets and the newer planned developments.
