Royse City Community

Royse City is home to a growing number of young professionals and families. The average age within the city is 32 years old, and the educational attainment is higher than the national average. This has led to a population that is active, educated, and earns around $90,000 per year - far more than the national average. With 15,000 new homes in some stage of development, the city’s growth is expected to continue for some time. As it does, investments are being made in parks and recreation and the local school district. 

The city offers everything a family needs to enjoy life - affordable and beautiful houses, great schools, fun community events, shopping, dining, entertainment and abundant outdoor spaces. In addition, Royse City is adjacent to the Dallas Metroplex and all the activities and amenities found within the nation’s fastest growing city.
