Because of its convenient location, just east of Dallas in the charming community of Forney, one of the greatest things about living in Devonshire is its proximity to hundreds of fun, family day trips.
To start with, this area has become the “antique capital of Texas,” with hundreds of dealers within a few miles of this master-planned community. Plus, as we have pointed out in previous posts, The Dallas Arts District, with its world-class museums, galleries, and restaurants, is just a few minutes away, one of the largest flea markets in the U.S. “First Monday Trade Days" is a quick ride from Devonshire, and there are numerous festivals that are family-friendly, year-round.
When the weather gets cooler and the urge to get outside and enjoy what nature has to offer takes over, residents of Devonshire can either enjoy the delightful amenities of this community, such as the walk and biking trails, or hop in the car and take another day trip, down the road to Seagoville. This is where Broken Bow Ranch is found.
If you’re new to Texas, well partner, what took you so long? It may be time to learn some Texas tricks! Just 10 miles from Devonshire sets Broken Bow Ranch. This 117- acre ranch is a true Texas experience that is also COVID - safe.
