Heath

Heath homes sold for a median of $735,000 over the 12 months ending October 30, 2026, across 293 closed residential sales in NTREIS. Heath is a small, mostly owner-occupied city on the east shore of Lake Ray Hubbard where larger lots, golf and lake access set the price. The Agency Dallas, an independently owned and operated brokerage serving North Texas, represents buyers and sellers in Heath and markets homes here to qualified buyers across Dallas-Fort Worth.

What is Heath, Texas?

Heath is a city in Rockwall and Kaufman counties, just south of Rockwall on the east side of Lake Ray Hubbard. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated its population at 11,671 as of July 1, 2025, and puts its owner-occupied housing rate at 98.0% for 2020 to 2024, one of the highest in the region. The city has long favored low density, so many streets carry half-acre to multi-acre lots rather than tract-sized parcels.

• Location: east shore of Lake Ray Hubbard, south of Rockwall and Interstate 30
• Counties: Rockwall and Kaufman
• Character: estate lots, golf communities, lake-adjacent neighborhoods and newer master-planned sections
• Commute: the Census Bureau reports a mean travel time to work of 34.6 minutes for 2020 to 2024

What do homes cost in Heath?

The answer depends heavily on land. Here is what NTREIS closed sales show for October 30, 2025 to October 30, 2026:

• Median sale price: $735,000 across 293 closed residential sales
• Middle half of sales: $519,000 to $1,050,000
• Median price per square foot: $223
• Sales at $1 million or more: 85, including 16 at $2 million or more
• Highest sale in the period: $4,100,000
• Homes on one acre or more: 51 sales with a median of $1,120,000 and $253 per square foot

For context, the Census Bureau puts the median value of owner-occupied homes in Heath at $766,900 for 2020 to 2024. That figure is an owner estimate across all homes, while the NTREIS median reflects what actually closed this year.

Which Heath neighborhoods trade most often?

A handful of communities account for a large share of the year's sales. By NTREIS subdivision name, the most active over the same 12 months were:

1. Heath Golf and Yacht Club phases, the busiest group, with a wide range of home sizes and prices
2. Buffalo Creek Country Club Estates, 30 sales at a median of about $812,000
3. Lakeside at Heath, 9 sales at a median of about $350,000
4. Buffalo Creek Tennis Village and Shepherds Glen, each with 5 sales

Acreage homes outside the platted golf communities sell less often but at the top of the range, which is why a single Heath median can understate what land is worth here.

Who buys in Heath?

Heath buyers tend to want room. We see three groups most often: families moving up from Rockwall, Garland or Mesquite who want a larger lot without leaving Rockwall ISD territory, buyers relocating to Dallas-Fort Worth who want lake access at a lower price per square foot than Dallas, and owners who already live on the east side of the lake and are trading into acreage. The Census Bureau reports that 62.2% of Heath adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher, and households average 3.03 people, which matches the family-heavy demand we see on showings.

How does The Agency Dallas help Heath sellers?

Heath pricing turns on land, frontage and finish, so we build the price from the closest true comparables, not a citywide average.

• Lot-adjusted pricing that separates the value of acreage from the value of the house
• Golf, lake view and waterfront adjustments drawn from closed NTREIS sales
• Marketing that reaches buyers in Dallas, Fort Worth and relocation channels, not only Rockwall County
• A written plan for timing, pre-listing repairs and pricing reviews every two weeks on market

Frequently asked questions

What is the median home price in Heath, Texas?

NTREIS shows a median sale price of $735,000 across 293 closed residential sales from October 30, 2025 to October 30, 2026. The middle half of those sales landed between $519,000 and $1,050,000. Homes on an acre or more ran higher, with a median of $1,120,000 over the same period, so land size changes the answer more than any other factor.

Is Heath part of Rockwall?

No. Heath is its own city with its own government, sitting just south of Rockwall on the east shore of Lake Ray Hubbard. It spans parts of Rockwall and Kaufman counties. Many Heath addresses are served by Rockwall ISD, which is one reason buyers often shop the two cities together, but taxes, zoning and city services are separate.

How much land comes with a typical Heath home?

It varies by neighborhood. Golf and master-planned communities often sit on lots well under an acre, while older estate areas carry one to several acres. In the 12 months ending October 30, 2026, 51 of the 293 closed sales in NTREIS were on one acre or more, a little more than one in six.

Do Heath homes sell for more per square foot than Rockwall homes?

Over the 12 months ending October 30, 2026, NTREIS shows a median of $223 per square foot in Heath and $189 in the city of Rockwall. Larger lots, golf communities and lake proximity explain much of the gap. Individual streets can run well above or below either median, so a home-specific valuation matters.

Does The Agency Dallas work with sellers in Heath?

Yes. The Agency Dallas, an independently owned and operated brokerage serving North Texas, represents sellers and buyers in Heath, Rockwall and across the east side of Lake Ray Hubbard. We price from closed NTREIS sales on comparable lots and market each home to buyers across Dallas-Fort Worth and relocation channels.
