Zip code 75056 represents the “City by the Lake” also known as The Colony. A blossoming small town community by Lake Lewisville that enjoys a perfect outdoors year round climate is what this city is. However, to the residents it’s just home.
When it comes to outdoor and indoor recreational opportunities, the zip code’s location is uniquely favorable. Despite being at the heart of The Colony City – which is itself an outdoor treasure chest – it is only 20 minutes to Plano and 30 minutes Dallas.
Within The Colony, avid golfers like to stop by The Tribute at the Colony. This Scottish links-style golf course attracts golfers of all kind. Training is also offered to amateur golfers. If Stewart Creek Park is where youth adults like to fish, then Hawaiian Falls Adventure Park is where the kids go to swim. A few steps away from Stewart Creek Park bring you to the Shoreline Trail. At nearly 4 miles long, this hiking trail is natural scenic experience thanks to the rare flora and stunning views of Lake Lewisville.
The city enjoys a stable economy attributed to its proximity to Dallas and Plano. Residents find it easy to commute to the Big D working for companies like AMR Corp and Texas Health Resources. It is easier and cheaper to work in Dallas and live in The Colony.
