If you've been exploring new construction options in Denton County, you've likely come across several master-planned communities in various stages of development. Some are brand new, with infrastructure still taking shape. Others, like Timberbrook in Justin, have reached a sweet spot where the community is mature enough to offer established amenities and functioning trail connections, while still offering plenty of inventory for today's buyers.
Timberbrook is a well-established master-planned community in Justin, Texas, located near the intersection of FM 407 and I-35W. With six builders, homes ranging from the $390s to $750K+, and schools serving Northwest ISD, it offers an established new-construction option in the western Denton County corridor. A brand-new elementary school opened within the community for the 2025-2026 school year, providing walkable access for families with young children whose children are assigned to the campus.
As the Real Estate Broker of Covenant Heritage Realty, I've helped buyers evaluate Timberbrook alongside communities like Treeline, Wildflower Ranch, and Pecan Square. Here's a detailed guide to what Timberbrook offers, and how to approach a purchase here with confidence and strategy.
Local Real Estate Broker Perspective

Timberbrook is one of the established master-planned communities I help buyers evaluate along the US-380/I-35W corridor. One thing I always encourage buyers to check is the specific property's PID obligations, HOA structure, school assignment and tax rate, because those costs can differ from one section of Timberbrook to another.

- I-35W access just minutes away, connecting residents to Fort Worth, the Alliance Texas employment center, and DFW Airport.
- FM 407 corridor, which provides access to I-35W and connects to surrounding communities. Road improvement projects at the I-35W interchange have been underway.
- US-287 proximity, providing an alternate north-south route connecting to Denton and Fort Worth.
- AllianceTexas corridor, one of the fastest-growing employment and commercial hubs in the metroplex, with major employers like Amazon, FedEx, and BNSF Railway, plus extensive retail and dining options.
Justin's location offers a balance of small-town atmosphere and big-city access. Despite its rapid growth, the area retains the open skies and community-oriented character that draws many families to western Denton County. Timberbrook provides access to I-35W, FM 407, FM 156 and US-287 for travel toward Denton, Fort Worth and the Alliance corridor.

Builders and Price Ranges
One of Timberbrook's strengths is its builder diversity. With six builders active in the community, buyers have real options to compare floor plans, finishes, and pricing. Here's the current lineup. Builder pricing, inventory and incentives are subject to change, so verify current information directly:
The range of price points at Timberbrook makes it accessible to a wide variety of buyers. Impression Homes and K. Hovnanian offer some of the lowest entry points, with homes starting in the upper $300s. At the upper end, Sandlin Homes offers larger floor plans and premium finishes on larger homesites, with base pricing up to the mid-$600s and individual inventory homes that can reach into the $700s. It is important to distinguish between base floor-plan pricing and pricing for specific inventory homes, which can vary based on options, upgrades and lot premiums.
The community also features Ladera at Timberbrook, a gated 55+ active-adult enclave within Timberbrook with 157 homesites. Homeowners have begun moving in. This section of Timberbrook provides age-restricted living with low-maintenance homes and its own community-specific amenities and fee structure, making Timberbrook a multigenerational community.
Schools: Northwest ISD
Timberbrook is served by Northwest Independent School District. The biggest recent development for Timberbrook families is the opening of Justin Elementary School, which opened for the 2025-2026 school year and is located within the Timberbrook community. The school's replacement campus opened on-site in Timberbrook in August 2025, providing the potential for walkable access for families whose children are assigned to the campus.
Students in Timberbrook attend:

What Makes Timberbrook Different?
With several new construction communities available in Denton County, Timberbrook has characteristics that buyers may want to consider:
Maturity and Established Feel
Timberbrook is a more established community with completed neighborhoods, street trees, landscaping, and an active community fabric. For buyers who want new construction without feeling like they're living in a construction zone, that maturity may be an important factor.
On-Site Elementary School
Justin Elementary School opened within Timberbrook for the 2025-2026 school year. Walkable schools can be an important consideration for families with young children when comparing communities, providing the potential for convenient school drop-off and pickup for those whose children are assigned to the campus.
Builder Variety Across Price Points
With six builders offering homes across a range of price points, Timberbrook accommodates a variety of budgets. This diversity also means buyers can compare floor plans, finishes, and incentive packages across multiple builders in one location.
55+ Living Option
The gated Ladera at Timberbrook active-adult enclave offers both standard family homes and age-restricted living within the same master plan. This can be a consideration for multigenerational families who want grandparents and grandchildren in the same broader community but in different housing models.
Who Should Buy at Timberbrook?
Timberbrook appeals to a broad range of buyers, but it's particularly well-suited for:
- Families with young children who want walkable access to a brand-new elementary school. The on-site Justin Elementary can be a draw for this buyer group, depending on school attendance assignments.
- Relocating professionals coming to the DFW metroplex who want a community with established amenities, strong schools, and easy access to the Alliance employment corridor. Timberbrook offers a move-in ready lifestyle for families arriving from out of state.
- Move-up buyers seeking more space and a better lot than their current home offers. Homeowners in nearby communities who want to upgrade to new construction without leaving the area may find Timberbrook's larger homesite options and Sandlin Homes' premium floor plans of interest.
- Active adults and retirees looking for low-maintenance living in a 55+ community. Ladera at Timberbrook offers age-restricted homes with community-specific amenities and its own fee structure, while situated within the broader Timberbrook master plan.
- Military families and veterans relocating to the DFW area. Justin's proximity to the Alliance corridor and DFW Airport, combined with VA loan eligibility on new construction homes, makes Timberbrook a practical and appealing choice. See Theresa's Military and Veterans page for more guidance.
Why Work With a Real Estate Broker for New Construction at Timberbrook?
When you walk into a builder's sales center, the agent you meet works for the builder. Their job is to represent the builder's interests throughout the transaction. Having your own buyer's agent, especially a Real Estate Broker with deep experience in new construction, ensures you have someone advocating exclusively for you from lot selection through closing.
As a Real Estate Broker with 18+ years of experience and extensive knowledge of Denton County's new construction landscape, I bring:
- Builder knowledge: I help buyers compare builder offerings, floor plans, included features, available inventory, homesites and current incentives across Timberbrook's six builders.
- Builder transaction guidance: Builder contracts differ from standard resale contracts. As your Real Estate Broker, I help you understand the transaction process, timelines, financial obligations and business terms and negotiate where appropriate. I do not provide legal advice, and buyers with questions about legal provisions should consult a qualified real estate attorney.
- Community comparison: I work with buyers across Timberbrook, Treeline, Wildflower Ranch, Pecan Square, Harvest, and other major communities in Denton County. I'll help you evaluate which community truly fits your goals, not just which one has the best model home.
- Relocation support: I regularly help out-of-state buyers navigate the entire new construction process remotely, from virtual tours and lot evaluation to closing coordination. If you're relocating to Justin from another state, I can guide you through every step. Visit my Relocation Guide for more on moving to North Texas.
Timberbrook vs. Other Justin Communities
Buyers evaluating Timberbrook often compare it to other Justin-area communities. Here's how they stack up:
Each of these communities has its own personality and advantages. Timberbrook's edge lies in its maturity, its on-site elementary school, and its ability to serve both traditional families and active adults in the same master plan. For buyers who value established amenities and a community that already feels like home, Timberbrook is a strong contender.
Cost of Living: Taxes and HOA
Understanding the full cost of ownership is critical when evaluating new construction. At Timberbrook, here's what to know:
- Property taxes: Current builder information shows an underlying property-tax rate of approximately 1.9059%, plus the applicable Timberbrook PID assessment. PID obligations can vary by property and assessment area. Buyers should verify the complete tax rate, PID annual installment, HOA dues, insurance and any other applicable assessments for the specific home.
- Timberbrook PIDs: Timberbrook includes Public Improvement District assessments. The City of Justin currently maintains service and assessment plans for Timberbrook PID No. 1 and Timberbrook PID No. 2, with multiple assessment areas. The applicable assessment and annual installment can vary by property. Buyers should review the current PID assessment roll and annual installment for the specific property they are considering.
- HOA fees: Current Pacesetter community information lists approximately $400 semi-annually (approximately $800 annually), plus a $600 initial contribution. HOA dues and initial fees are subject to change and should be verified for the specific property. Note that Ladera at Timberbrook has its own separate community fee structure.
I always advise buyers to calculate their total monthly payment including taxes, insurance, HOA, and any PID assessment, not just the principal and interest. These costs add to your monthly budget, and knowing the full picture upfront helps prevent surprises at closing.
