Fairview & Lucas, Texas: Country Living with Modern Comforts

Tucked between Allen and McKinney, the once-sleepy towns of Fairview and Lucas have undergone a quiet transformation since the early 2000s—yet both have successfully preserved the rural charm and wide-open landscapes that define their character.

Fairview, incorporated in 1958 with just 50 residents, has grown into a close-knit community of nearly 9,000. True to its motto, the town is committed to “keeping it country.” Fairview is known for its large custom homes on spacious lots, scenic rolling hills, hardwood groves, and meandering creeks. While deeply rooted in its pastoral setting, Fairview also offers modern conveniences like the expansive Village at Fairview shopping and mixed-use center, blending rural tranquility with everyday accessibility.

Lucas, with a current population of just over 5,000, was founded by farmers who dreamed of a community defined by open land, clean air, and a slower pace of life. That vision remains intact today. Lucas is home to horse properties, hobby farms, and a variety of animals—from dogs and cats to donkeys, llamas, cattle, and chickens. With room to roam for kids, animals, and nature lovers alike, Lucas embraces a lifestyle that is increasingly rare in the fast-growing Dallas metroplex.

Both communities are served by top-tier schools, attracting residents who value space, serenity, and a strong connection to the land, while still being close to urban centers.
