Overview

About Horseshoe Acres

Horseshoe Acres is acreage inside the city. Most lots on the county roll are a little over an acre, and the streets carry the names of thoroughbred racehorses: Man O War, Seabiscuit, Citation, Whirlaway, Nashua, Kelso, Damascus.

The county roll counts 461 houses and nine vacant lots. Building started in the early 1970s and never stopped: the oldest dates to 1971, the median to 1990, and new homes were still going up in 2025. Sizes vary widely, from about 2,400 to nearly 6,000 square feet, with the median near 3,690.

Part of the neighborhood is recorded as the Horseshoe Acres West replat, and part is an unrecorded subdivision on county records, so some parcels are described by survey rather than lot and block. We review the legal description and survey for a specific home.

Research for this page notes riding trails and a history of horse-keeping. What a lot allows for horses, barns and outbuildings depends on the city’s zoning and any deed restrictions; we confirm it for a specific property.
