    "We have lived here for 8yrs. Most impressed with extra wide streets, no hiway or train noise like in other neighborhoods. Easy access to Rockwall or Dallas. Super safe, comfortable letting kids play til dark. Neighborhood crime watch, several online sites to find services right with in the sub-division, regular events w/neighbors like cook outs, pool parties etc. Overall Travis Ranch is an excellent neighborhood to raise kids or retire!
