Lavon, Texas has the great good fortune of sitting on Lavon Lake in Southeast Collin County. The town is approximately 29 miles from Dallas, and 16 miles from Garland. In the early 1950s, the US Army Corps of Engineers created the Lavon Lake Dam on the east fork of the Trinity River just 3 miles east of Wylie, and thus, a watery retreat was born. Lavon Lake boasts 121 miles of shoreline and more than 21,000 acres of surface water with more open, usable water than any other lake in the area.

Approximately 1.6 million people visit the lake every year to enjoy camping, boating, swimming and fishing. If you like to fish for crappie [watch that pronunciation!], this is the lake for you. They're most prevalent during winter and spring.

With all the lake tourists, Lavon has managed to remain a small town; although, it is poised for an explosion of growth. The Grand Heritage housing development project will introduce an estimated 1,900 new homes over the next 7 years. The first 300 homes are complete, ranging from modest to massive. New shopping centers have already started popping up along Highway 78. Lavon is ideally located just 4 miles from Wylie and 25 miles from McKinney, the County seat. It was inevitable that Lavon would join the ranks of its larger sister-communities.

Until Lavon's population booms, the children of Lavon attend schools through the Community Independent School District, which also includes the towns of Josephine and Nevada.

In May 2007, the average home sales price for a single family home or condo in Lavon, TX was $166,400. While this data is collected from the MLS and deemed reliable, it is not guaranteed.
