Rowlett, Texas gives a relaxed lakeside small‑city vibe with plenty to keep you occupied between shifts—parks, waterfront trails on Lake Ray Hubbard, a growing dining/brewery scene, and neighborhood events that make multi‑week stays feel more like living than just working away from home.
You’re also minutes from big‑city options: downtown Dallas is roughly a 20–30 minute drive and nearby Garland adds more shopping, restaurants and medical centers, so you get quiet, walkable neighborhoods with quick access to major amenities.
