What could happen
If it goes well
Old Town Station TOD creates a walkable node. Restaurants, coffee shops, and retail fill ground floors. The historic Old Town district sees renewed investment. Lewisville develops a 'downtown' identity it currently lacks. Property values in Old Town rise 15-20%.
Watch out for
TOD projects in car-centric suburbs often struggle. If retail fails to lease or residential demand disappoints, the development becomes isolated density without vibrancy. Old Town remains 'potential' rather than 'destination.'
What this means if you buy nearby
Transit-Oriented Development: Old Town Station TOD brings mixed-use development to Lewisville's DART station area. Apartments, retail, and walkable urbanism around transit.
Old Town Revival: Lewisville's Old Town has historic character but has struggled economically. TOD investment aims to catalyze broader revitalization.
DART Access: A-train connects to DART Green Line in Carrollton. This offers rail access to downtown Dallas, though with a transfer. Car-optional living is possible for some commutes.
