Lake enthusiasts and homebuyers now have a new destination to explore — Emerald Bay at Cedar Creek Lake, which will host its first on-site launch celebration on Friday, October 10. The gated, 44-acre community by 821 Investments, led by North Texas developer David Craig, features 71 exclusive homesites, with nine already sold.
Just over an hour from Dallas, Emerald Bay blends modern infrastructure and lakeside living. The development features concrete streets, underground utilities, public water and sewer systems, and even a golf cart path connecting residents to nearby marinas.
Designed for everyday enjoyment, the community will feature a pool, pickleball and basketball courts, fire pit, playground, and landscaped trails. Short-term rentals are prohibited, keeping the focus on permanent and second-home owners.
A Fall 2025 LakeHomes.com report saw Cedar Creek move up to the sixth-largest lake market in Texas, with more than 1,200 active listings and $13.1 billion in total statewide lake property value. – Candy’s Dirt
As Cedar Creek Lake continues to surge in popularity, Emerald Bay’s debut offers buyers a timely opportunity to secure new, buildable lakefront property in one of the state’s most in-demand markets.
