People come from all over the country to retire in the Highland Lakes area for several reasons.  The main attractions for the retirees are the climate, the lakes, golf, the lifestyle and because there are so many retirement communities here.  You can play golf year round in this part of Texas.

There are several communities with a large percentage of retired residents along the west side of Lake Buchanan consisting of 15 to 50 homes in each area.  They are:  Floyd Acres, Golden Beach, Greenwood Acres, Geola Estates, Tow and Paradise Point.  Each community has their own boat launch and some have park areas.  Most of the residents are retired and have moved to the area from out of state or from other parts of Texas.  You will never feel like a stranger in the Highland Lakes area because almost everyone here came from somewhere else, and we always welcome newcomers.
