To our teachers in Mesquite ISD: this one’s for you.
Teaching takes heart, patience, and a lot of energy. Between early mornings, long days, and everything you carry home with you, where you live should feel like a place that supports you—not another thing on your to-do list.
That’s exactly why so many educators are finding their place at Solterra Texas.
Walk to Work, Breathe a Little Easier
Let’s start with a true game-changer: Gentry Elementary School is located right within the Solterra Texas community.
For teachers, that means:
- No stressful morning commute
- More time in your day (and less time in traffic)
- A calm, more intentional start each morning
Whether you’re heading in early to make copies or staying late for school events or tutoring, living just steps from school makes everyday life noticeably easier. And on days when the weather isn’t ideal, or you’d prefer to drive, your “commute” is still about as simple as it gets.
A Place to Unwind After the Bell Rings

Teaching doesn’t end when students leave the classroom. There are lessons to plan, papers to grade, and energy to restore.
Solterra offers something many neighborhoods don’t: space to step outside and reset. With green spaces, walking trails, and parks woven throughout the community, it’s easy to get fresh air, take a quiet walk after a long day, or meet neighbors who are in a similar stage of life.
It’s the kind of environment that helps you transition from “teacher mode” back to you.
Summers That Actually Feel Like Summer

When summer finally arrives, you won’t need to travel to feel like you’re on vacation.
Residents enjoy:
- Three resort-style pools
- A white sand beach
- Kayaking and paddleboarding
- Outdoor spaces that feel like a staycation, not just a break
After months of giving your all during the school year, Solterra offers a place where summers actually feel restorative.
A Community That Helps Prevent Burnout
Teachers hear it often: you can’t pour from an empty cup. Solterra Texas is built to support work-life balance, connection with your community, and your overall well-being.
From low-maintenance living to walkable amenities and welcoming shared spaces, this is a community that understands the importance of caring for yourself so you can continue caring for others.
Because when you feel supported as a person (not just a teacher), it shows everywhere else.
