Lakefront Homesites Are Moving Fast at Eastport, Long Cove’s Newest Neighborhood

Reservations are filing in for Long Cove’s newest lakefront neighborhood, Eastport. This impressive 1,200-acre lake community moved up its scheduled expansion a full year to meet consumer demand for luxury lake living that’s close to Dallas.

The new Eastport neighborhood is located on a tranquil, previously undeveloped inlet on the southeast shores of Cedar Creek Lake. Eastport will be home to custom lakefront homesites with expansive, open-water views, a community pool, and other amenities.

“It’s encouraging to watch the community grow, especially over the past 12 months,” says Long Cove sales agent Kiki Pennington. “The latest neighborhood release, Eastport, has always been in the works, but we accelerated the release schedule to meet the demand and welcome more families to Long Cove.”

There’s demand, alright. The Long Cove team says they’ve been busier than ever fielding calls and emails from Dallas-Fort Worth residents looking for spec homes or available homesites for purchase. Remember there’s less than 30 days of housing inventory in Dallas and homes are receiving multiple offers the day of its open house.

Plus, the pandemic has created an appetite for vacation resort amenities closer to home. Buying a home at Long Cove means you can enjoy the lake year-round without having the hassle of airports and crowds.

“Long Cove is an easy hour-ish drive from Dallas so you can escape to the lake every weekend for a mini-vacation year-round,” Pennington says. “Many Long Cove homeowners head to the lake Friday after school to enjoy a long weekend before Monday returns. Our lock-and-leave lifestyle makes this possible so you can arrive ready to relax and let the kids roam free all year long.”

Ready to relax — that’s key there. Long Cove offers a boat valet and concierge, so one phone call means you’ll arrive to an uncovered, fueled boat that’s ready and waiting for you. You can even order groceries ahead of time complete with a s’mores kit.

Now, you’re free to hit up the many new Eastport amenities like the tree-to-tree adventure park to explore the dense woods. Explore up high along the rope bridge, or down below along four miles of hiking and biking trails that connect Eastport to many other neighborhood amenities.

Four stocked fishing ponds. Golf. Pickleball. Tennis. Beach volleyball. Lakeside bonfire pits. Resort-style pools. Waterslide. A Play Field for sports of all kinds. And a Toy Barn with sports gear including fishing poles, soccer balls, yard games, yoga mats, and community bikes. The best way to grasp how many amenities are here is to take a shoreline boat tour.

There’s still more planned for Long Cove, the team tells us.

“This growth has definitely pushed us over a ‘tipping point’ that is allowing the team to dream up even more fun and unique amenities that make Long Cove stand out from any other lake home community in Texas,” Pennington says.
