Inaugural Remarks from the Editor

Boasting well-guided management, long-term price appreciation, close proximity to thriving commercial hubs, and an improving transportation infrastructure, Devonshire is truly a special place to call home.

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Devonshire Real Estate Quarterly, your ultimate guide to the local real estate market of this wonderful community. As both a local resident and real estate agent, I am excited to keep you updated about everything real estate in Devonshire. Despite a disappointing 2023 for home prices, Devonshire offers the perfect blend of community, growth and value.

Devonshire's appeal lies, in no small part, in its vibrant community spirit. Managed by the renowned CCMC, the neighborhood is expertly guided, assuring homeowners a well-maintained subdivision and pleasant environment. CCMC's dedicated team goes above and beyond, organizing and hosting a range of community events throughout the year, catering to residents of all ages and interests. This helps make Devonshire a tight-knit and inclusive community. We look forward to the new expanded community center and a third pool area to be opened soon.

If exceptional property investments are what you seek, look no further than Devonshire. The median home price in the community increased 71% from 2011 to 2023. This growth is attributable to the combination of a well-managed community, highly sought-after amenities, and a location just minutes away from rapidly developing commercial areas.

While enjoying the tranquility and security of a suburban neighborhood, residents have convenient access to a multitude of dynamic commercial centers that continue to mushroom. Have you heard about the new Village at Gateway retail development with leasable space designed for large stores such as Home Depot, Target and others? Retailers throughout the Forney area benefit from high traffic counts provided by U.S. Highway 80 and Interstate 20, along with the growth in new home starts.

As the community grows, Devonshire continues to invest in improving its roads and sidewalks. Nearby road expansion projects are expected to reduce commute times to major employment centers within the county and beyond. Most major roads such as Highway 80, FM 548, 1641 and 740 are owned by the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT), which has $1.4 billion of projects scheduled to begin in Kaufman County in the coming years. Devonshire is much more than an attractive real estate opportunity; it is a place where community, growth, and value converge harmoniously. With its unique blend of suburban living and convenient amenities, Devonshire stands as a shining example of the ideal place to call home.
