If you are relocating to North Texas or moving up within it, the first question is usually not whether to buy new construction, but where, from which builder, and at what price. The answer changes month to month. I am Theresa De La Rosa, Broker of Covenant Heritage Realty, LLC, and for more than 18 years I have helped buyers verify builder phases, pricing, schools, and ownership costs across Northlake, Argyle, Flower Mound, Justin, and Denton County. This article is the October 2026 snapshot of who is building where, based on the builders' own community pages and published sources, with everything you should confirm directly before you sign.
Quick Answers
These are the short answers for October 2026; the sections below show the sources and the verification steps for each community.
- Which Denton County communities are actively selling new homes right now? Pecan Square, Harvest, Canyon Falls, Furst Ranch, Treeline, and The Ridge at Northlake are all selling new construction as of early October 2026, along with smaller phases at Wildflower Ranch and Timberbrook in Justin. Status changes constantly, so confirm with each builder.
- What are the reported starting prices? Reported base prices range from below $400,000 at Treeline and Timberbrook in Justin to roughly $1.1 million and up at Furst Ranch's Tradition neighborhood. Every price depends on the lot, phase, and plan, and changes with incentives.
- Is Harvest still selling new homes? Yes, Harvest is nearing build-out but still selling new construction from multiple DFW builders, and Highland Homes has new models open in the community.
- Is Canyon Falls sold out? Not entirely. Canyon Falls is a maturing community nearing build-out with limited new inventory, including Chesmar Homes' newest Juniper section on 70-foot lots and custom homes from Windmiller Custom Homes.
- Where is Furst Ranch actually located? Furst Ranch is a master-planned development in the Flower Mound-Argyle area of Denton County near US 377 and FM 1171. The developer markets the community as Flower Mound, while official Bartonville records identify portions of High Plains in Bartonville's extraterritorial jurisdiction. Verify the specific property's municipality or ETJ by address.
- Do schools and taxes differ between these communities? Yes, and they can differ between two homes in the same community. School assignment follows attendance boundaries, and taxes depend on every taxing entity attached to the exact parcel, including special districts. Verify both by address.
- Can I trust the prices in this article? Only as a starting point. Prices, phases, lots, and incentives change weekly. Every figure here is reported from a builder or published source and must be confirmed with the builder for the exact plan, lot, and date you buy.

The October 2026 Snapshot
The table below summarizes what the builders' own community pages and published sources reported as of early October 2026. Treat every cell as a starting point: phases sell through, prices move, and incentives change. The sections after the table give the verification details for each community.
| Community | Area | Status | Builder highlights | Reported pricing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pecan Square | Northlake | Selling; new phases | David Weekley, Highland, Toll Brothers, Drees, Pulte/Centex | 40-ft models reported from the $430s |
| Harvest | Argyle and Northlake | Nearing build-out; still selling | Highland, Toll Brothers, David Weekley and others | Confirm with each builder |
| Canyon Falls | Flower Mound, Argyle, Northlake | Maturing; limited new inventory | Chesmar, Windmiller Custom Homes | Juniper reported from the $720Ks; custom plans reported near $1M |
| Furst Ranch | Flower Mound-Argyle area | Phase 1 High Plains in presale | Nine builders: Highland, Coventry, David Weekley, Shaddock, Drees, Tradition, Partners in Building, Ashton Woods and others | High $700Ks to high $900Ks; Tradition 80-ft lots from $1.1M+ |
| Treeline | Justin | Phase 1 selling; all 8 models open | American Legend, Beazer, David Weekley, D.R. Horton, Highland, HistoryMaker, Pulte, Tri Pointe | Reported below $400K |
| The Ridge at Northlake | Northlake | Final phases selling | Taylor Morrison, David Weekley, Coventry | 50-ft phases reported from about $512,990; 70-ft phases reported to about $701,990 |
Reported figures are from the sources listed in the Primary Sources section and were current when reviewed on October 5, 2026. They are not offers and change frequently.
Pecan Square, Northlake
Pecan Square, Hillwood's master-planned community inside the Town of Northlake, continues to sell with eight builders active. David Weekley Homes is selling new phases in both Pecan Square Gardens and Pecan Square Classics on 60-foot lots, and Highland Homes is selling its final phase on 50-foot lots while opening new models on 40-foot lots reported from the $430s. Toll Brothers, Drees, and Pulte/Centex round out the active lineup alongside the other builders listed on the community's builder page.
Pecan Square is one of the more mature new-construction communities in the corridor, which means the mix of new homes and resales is growing. The Pecan Square community guide covers the amenity campus, the school context, and the ownership-cost details, and the Northlake city guide explains how the town's special districts and services work. Because phases differ, ask each builder which section, lot, and plan they are selling on the date you visit.
Harvest, Argyle and Northlake
Harvest is nearing build-out but is still selling new construction from multiple DFW builders, including Highland Homes, Toll Brothers, and David Weekley, and Highland Homes has new models open in the community. The community continues to add amenities and retail: Hillwood announced the grand opening of Farmhouse Coffee and Treasures on September 23, 2026, and Harvest House, a 349-unit multifamily community in Argyle, broke ground in March 2026.
For relocating buyers, Harvest's appeal is the combination of an established amenity campus, Argyle ISD schools, and the retail that has come online at Harvest Town Center. The Harvest community guide and the Argyle city guide walk through schools, taxes, and the town context. With build-out near, the remaining new inventory is limited, so the current lot list matters more than the community's brochure.
Canyon Falls, Flower Mound, Argyle, and Northlake
Canyon Falls is a maturing community nearing build-out, with a select number of new homes left. Chesmar Homes is selling its newest section of Juniper on 70-foot lots in the Flower Mound and Argyle ISD portions of the community, reported from the $720Ks, and Windmiller Custom Homes has custom plans available, including the St. Andrews plan reported around $993,000. Four model homes are open for tours.
Canyon Falls is the clearest example in the corridor of why you verify by address: one community that spans the towns of Flower Mound, Argyle, and Northlake, with schools, taxes, and special districts that vary by section. The Canyon Falls one-community-three-cities guide lays out the objective split, and the community page covers the HOA, WCID, and schools. If you are considering a remaining new home here, verify the section's municipality and school assignment before you compare it to anything else.
Furst Ranch, Flower Mound-Argyle Area
Furst Ranch's first neighborhood, High Plains, entered presale in January 2026, and all nine builders now have pricing and plans live. Highland Homes is selling on 60- and 70-foot lots reported in the high $700Ks to high $900Ks, Coventry Homes has move-in-ready homes, David Weekley, Shaddock, and Drees are active, and Tradition is selling 80-foot lots reported from $1.1 million and up. Partners in Building and Ashton Woods round out the lineup. The planned neighborhoods are High Plains (selling), Prairie Vista, and a future estate phase, Cross Timbers.
Two things deserve special attention at Furst Ranch. First, jurisdiction: the developer markets the community as Flower Mound, while official Bartonville records identify portions of High Plains in Bartonville's extraterritorial jurisdiction, so the municipality or ETJ, taxing entities, and service providers must be verified for the exact tract. Second, pricing spans the widest range of any community in this roundup, from move-up to luxury custom. The Furst Ranch community guide and the Flower Mound city guide cover both in detail.
Treeline, Justin
Treeline, Hillwood's 800-acre community in Justin planned for roughly 2,700 homes, is selling its first phase with eight builders: American Legend Homes, Beazer, David Weekley, D.R. Horton, Highland Homes, HistoryMaker, Pulte, and Tri Pointe. All eight model homes are open, with homesites and quick move-in homes available, and reported pricing starts below $400,000. The phase-one amenities, The Hideaway, The Nook, and Sky Park, are part of the community's nature-themed plan.
Treeline is the entry-price leader in this roundup and a strong fit for relocating households watching their budget while staying inside Northwest ISD. The Treeline community guide and the Justin city guide cover the schools, taxes, and community context, and the under-$500K new construction guide explains how to evaluate value at this price point.
The Ridge at Northlake
The Ridge at Northlake is a maturing community inside the Town of Northlake city limits with roughly 1,000 single-family homes planned across five phases, served by Argyle ISD. Taylor Morrison, the developer, is selling 50- and 70-foot homesites in the final phases, David Weekley Homes sells on 60-foot homesites with quick move-in inventory, and Coventry Homes is also named among the final-phase builders. Published listings report new 50s, 60s, and 70s lot phases from about $512,990 for the 50-foot section to about $701,990 for the 70-foot section, and David Weekley advertised new construction from about $593,990 as of October 2, 2026.
Most homes at The Ridge carry an Argyle, TX 76226 mailing address because Argyle is the postal city for the shared ZIP code, even though the community sits inside Northlake. That is a useful reminder of the mailing-address versus municipality distinction. The Ridge community guide covers the amenity campus, builders, and ownership costs in depth.
Smaller Phases Worth Knowing
Beyond the six communities above, several smaller phases are selling in the corridor and are worth knowing for relocating buyers:
- Wildflower Ranch, Justin: Bloomfield Homes has new phases now selling, reported from $396,990. The Wildflower Ranch community guide covers the community in detail.
- Timberbrook, Justin: Bloomfield Homes has new phases 4A, 5, and 4B-70s now selling, reported as a grand-opening community from about $389,900. See the Timberbrook guide.
- Vintage Village, Argyle: M/I Homes lists this as a grand opening in Argyle, reported from $409,990 to $637,460 with seven homes and eight floor plans.
- The Preserve, Justin: M/I Homes' newest Justin community has a new phase now selling, reported with no MUD or PID assessments.
These smaller phases often get less attention than the big master plans, which can mean more negotiating room and faster completion dates. They can also carry different school assignments, tax districts, and HOA structures than the community next door, so the same by-address verification applies.
How to Read a Builder's Phase Announcement
Builder marketing uses a few terms that are easy to misread. A phase is a group of homesites released together, usually with its own lot premiums and completion dates. A quick move-in home is a home already under construction or finished, listed for the buyer who cannot wait for a full build. A grand opening is the launch of new models or a new phase, often paired with introductory pricing or incentives. And a final phase is exactly what it sounds like: the last homesites in a community, which changes the resale picture once it sells through.
When you read a phase announcement, write down four things: the phase name and section, the lot size and any lot premium, the base price and what is included versus optional, and the estimated completion date. Then ask the builder for the same four items in writing for the specific homesite you are considering. The guide to understanding new-construction phases walks through this process in more depth.
Pricing, Incentives, and the First Tax Bill
Reported base prices in this roundup range from below $400,000 at Treeline and Timberbrook to roughly $1.1 million and up at Furst Ranch's Tradition neighborhood. Between those ends, the corridor's new construction clusters around the $500,000 to $900,000 range, with custom plans at Canyon Falls and Furst Ranch crossing into seven figures. What you actually pay depends on the lot, the elevation, the design-center selections, and whatever incentive the builder is running that month, so the base price is only the beginning.
Design-center selections are where a new build's price moves the most. Budget for them before you visit the design studio.
Two ownership-cost items deserve a line in every new-construction budget. First, the first tax bill: a new home is often taxed at the land value during construction, then reappraised at the completed value, which raises the bill in year two. Second, special districts: MUD, PID, and WCID assessments run with the land and appear on the tax bill, and they vary by community and by section within a community. My North Texas property taxes and ownership costs guide explains how to read an estimated tax bill for an exact address.
Schools, Taxes, and Jurisdiction Vary by Address
Every community in this roundup sits inside a school district that assigns campuses by attendance boundaries, and those boundaries cross town lines and even cross individual communities. Argyle ISD, Denton ISD, and Northwest ISD all take assignments by exact address and school year. A mailing address, ZIP code, or builder brochure does not establish the school assignment, the municipality, or the tax bill.
The North Texas school districts guide explains how to confirm an assignment with each district's official locator, and the Argyle, Northlake, Flower Mound, Justin, and Denton relocation guides walk through what changes when you cross a town line. The North Texas area guide ties all of it together.
The Relocating Buyer's October 2026 Checklist
Use this checklist for every new-construction community you are seriously considering, and complete it for the exact homesite with official sources and the builder in writing.
- Phase and homesite: confirm the phase name, section, lot size, lot premium, and estimated completion date for the specific homesite.
- Price in writing: base price, included features, design-center allowance, and any current incentive, stated for the plan and lot you want.
- School assignment: confirm the district and attendance zone by exact address with the district's locator, and ask about planned boundary changes.
- Municipality and ETJ: confirm whether the homesite is inside an incorporated city, an extraterritorial jurisdiction, or unincorporated Denton County.
- Taxing entities: list every taxing unit on the county appraisal record for the parcel, including any MUD, PID, or WCID, and estimate your post-purchase tax from your purchase price and exemptions.
- HOA: current dues, billing schedule, any sub-associations, and included services, from the association directly.
- Builder track record: how many homes the builder has delivered in that community, warranty terms, and how the builder handles punch lists and post-closing service.
- Independent inspection: schedule a third-party inspection at framing and again before closing, even for new construction.
- Commute test: drive the route from the specific property during your expected travel window, and review funded road projects rather than proposed ones.
The North Texas relocation checklist turns these verified facts into an ordered moving plan, and the decision planner worksheet gives you printable comparison pages as you research.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Denton County community has the cheapest new homes right now?
Among the communities in this roundup, Treeline and Timberbrook in Justin report starting prices below $400,000, the lowest entry points. Prices depend on the phase, lot, and plan, and incentives change, so confirm the current starting price with each builder for the date you buy.
Is Harvest or Pecan Square closer to being sold out?
Harvest is described as nearing build-out while still selling new construction, with Highland Homes opening new models. Pecan Square is also mature but continues to release new phases, including David Weekley's new sections and Highland's final phase on 50-foot lots. Ask each builder for the current lot list.
What is the difference between a phase and a quick move-in home?
A phase is a group of homesites released together with its own lot premiums and completion dates. A quick move-in home is a home already under construction or finished and available sooner, often at a fixed price. Both change constantly, so confirm the current list with the builder.
Which school districts serve these new-construction communities?
Argyle ISD serves Harvest, most of Canyon Falls, and The Ridge at Northlake; Northwest ISD serves Treeline, Wildflower Ranch, Timberbrook, and parts of Canyon Falls; and other sections vary by exact address. Confirm the assignment for the specific homesite with the applicable district's locator.
Are there MUD or PID taxes in these communities?
Special districts vary by community and by section. For example, Canyon Falls carries a WCID assessment, and M/I Homes reports The Preserve in Justin has no MUD or PID. The specific districts for a parcel appear on its county appraisal record and tax bill, so verify by address.
How much do I need to budget beyond the base price of a new home?
Beyond the base price, budget for lot premiums, design-center selections, closing costs, and the first year's taxes and HOA dues. A new home is often taxed at land value during construction, then reappraised at the completed value, which raises the bill. Estimate your post-purchase tax from your purchase price and exemptions.
Can I buy new construction in North Texas from out of state?
Yes. Texas does not require you to be present to buy, and builders routinely work with out-of-state buyers through virtual tours, video walkthroughs, and remote closings. Plan for an independent inspection and a visit at framing or before closing if you can. The remote home buying guide covers the process in detail.
Conclusion
October 2026 finds Denton County new construction spread across the price spectrum: entry-level phases below $400,000 at Treeline and Timberbrook, a deep mid-market at Pecan Square, Harvest, and The Ridge, and luxury product at Furst Ranch and Canyon Falls. Every one of those communities is selling from a different phase, at a different price, with different schools, taxes, and special districts attached to the exact homesite.
The reliable way to buy new construction is the same whether you are relocating from out of state or moving across town: verify the phase, the price in writing, the school assignment, the municipality and ETJ, the taxing entities, the HOA, and the builder's track record for the specific homesite, and test the commute yourself. The community guides index and the new construction hub are the best places to start, and I am glad to work through the verification with you.
How I Can Help
As the Broker of Covenant Heritage Realty, LLC, I help relocating households and move-up buyers compare new-construction communities across Northlake, Argyle, Flower Mound, Justin, and Denton County by verifying the facts that matter: phase and pricing, schools, taxes and special districts, HOA, builder track records, and the commute. Clients tell me the value of that approach is feeling informed and supported instead of pressured, and you can read about those experiences in the client success stories.
Builder participation, phases, lots, incentives, pricing, HOA dues, tax rates, and school boundaries all change and must be verified directly with the applicable sources as of the date you buy. I help clients verify those details for the exact homesite before they commit, and I would be glad to do the same for you.
