Stinson Highlands

Newer custom homes on generous lots - a middle ground in a large-lot city

Stinson Highlands is a newer residential enclave in Lucas, with development dating to around 2012 and much of the construction from roughly 2015 onward, including the Estates at Stinson Highlands built by Grand Homes. It offers a middle ground for buyers who want the low-density, semi-rural Lucas setting - larger lots, room to spread out, quiet streets - without maintaining the full two-acre pastures found in the acreage districts elsewhere in the city. Homes are spacious custom and semi-custom builds, so expect wide variation in size and finish rather than a tight, repeatable price band.

Stinson Highlands: Frequently Asked Questions

How big are the lots in Stinson Highlands?
Generous but generally more manageable than the two-acre-plus pastures in Lucas's acreage districts, which is part of the appeal - you get the low-density, semi-rural setting without maintaining a working ranch. Lot sizes still vary meaningfully from home to home, so confirm the exact acreage and dimensions on the specific listing before you offer rather than assuming a single neighborhood standard.
What school district is Stinson Highlands in?
Lovejoy ISD serves most of Lucas, including this area, with Hart Elementary, Willow Springs Middle School and Lovejoy High School inside the city. Lucas is served by six school districts overall and boundaries cross city limits, so assignment is address-specific. If the district is why you are buying, confirm the assigned campuses for the exact street address with the district in writing before you write an offer.
Is Lucas TX on septic and well?
Many properties in Lucas use on-site septic systems, and some rely on wells, which is normal for a large-lot city built out over time rather than as one master-planned tract. Newer subdivisions may be connected to public water and sewer instead. Utility service varies by property and by the age of the section, so verify the specific water, sewer and septic arrangement for any home before you buy.
