Just east of Capital Circle Northeast off U.S. Highway 90, the residents of Easton share their neighborhood with owls, squirrels, foxes and other small animals. A hawk frequently soars overhead. Across the street from Buck Lake Elementary School is the elegant brick sign welcoming you to Easton. Turning off Pedrick Road into the neighborhood reveals houses surrounded by oak, dogwood, pecan and tung trees. The tung trees grow wild as remnants from when the area was once a plantation used for raising the trees for tung oil, a product used in paints and varnishes.
Woods border the neighborhood on the north and south.
Easton Forest Drive ends in thick woods, so very little traffic goes through the development. To further add to the neighborhood's secluded feel, a field separates the homes from those on Tung Hill Drive, just west of the neighborhood. Mike, his wife, Leslie, and their two daughters have lived in their four-bedroom home for four years. Samantha and Taylor walk the short distance to Buck Lake Elementary. The area also is zoned for the new Swift Creek Middle School and Lincoln High School.
