Who Lives Here?
The Lake Life Family
Weekend Warriors
Picture a young family with a boat in the driveway and kayaks in the garage. They work in Frisco but live for weekend lake days. Little Elm gave them the waterfront lifestyle they dreamed of without the waterfront price tag. One coaches little league, the other runs the HOA social committee.
