AND for the past many years, Rowlett TX has received the "Playful City" award from KaBoom which awards cities across America that have local policies/programs in place that support and increase play opportunities for children! 


Rowlett TX is just a hop, skip & a jump from Downtown Dallas (~20 miles) and since the completion of the Eastern extension of the George Bush Toll Way & the DART Light Rail Blue Line ExtensionRowlett TX is literally minutes from everything!


Rowlett has seen great growth and has still been able to hold on to their small town feel which really brings a sense of Community to it's residents.
