The Colony is a growing lakeside city northwest of Plano with Grandscape entertainment and Lewisville Lake recreation. Entriway shared homes are just 15–20 minutes away, where each housemate pays $500–$850/mo.
The Colony is one of the fastest-growing cities in Denton County with a population of approximately 45,000 residents. Situated northwest of Plano along the eastern shore of Lewisville Lake, The Colony has transformed from a quiet bedroom community into a vibrant destination city. The opening of Grandscape — one of the largest mixed-use entertainment and retail developments in North Texas — put The Colony on the map as a place where people come to live, work, and play.
The Colony is home to Nebraska Furniture Mart, the largest home furnishings store in Texas, along with dozens of restaurants, entertainment venues, and retail shops clustered around the Grandscape development. Lewisville Lake provides year-round outdoor recreation including boating, fishing, kayaking, and lakeside trails. For working professionals who want lakeside living with easy access to the Plano and Frisco employment corridors, The Colony offers an appealing lifestyle — but housing costs have risen sharply as the city has grown.
Entriway shared homes in Plano are just 15–20 minutes east of The Colony via Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH-121) or the Dallas North Tollway. Instead of paying premium rent for a solo apartment near the lake, you can split rent with compatible roommates in a professionally managed house with furnished common areas, an equipped kitchen, and a backyard. Each housemate pays $500–$850/month — a fraction of what a one-bedroom apartment costs in The Colony. Our housemate matching process ensures you find roommates who fit your lifestyle, whether you are a young professional working at Grandscape or commuting to the Legacy West corridor for a corporate job.
