New construction on the FM 407 corridor.
The Preserve sits at 133 Hudson Lane in Justin, Texas, within the Justin and Timberbrook area along FM 407. That puts the community close to the growth along the corridor, including nearby Timberbrook and Treeline, with easy access to Highway 114 and I-35W for the Alliance area, northwest Fort Worth and the wider Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
For families navigating the region, the location balances small-town Justin roots with corridor convenience: retail, dining and employment hubs along Highway 114 and the I-35W corridor are straightforward drives, and the community carries a Justin, TX 76247 address.
A mailing address is not the municipality. Confirm the exact property and its jurisdiction with the Town of Justin, and check commute times against your own routes and schedule.

One builder, one series,
a full range of plans.
M/I Homes is the community’s sole builder, building its Smart Series at The Preserve. That means every home comes from one builder’s standards and one design center, which simplifies the comparison versus multi-builder communities, while the series itself spans a wide range: entry one-story plans, mid-size family designs and large two-story layouts.
M/I Homes, Smart Series
M/I Homes builds its 40-foot and 50-foot Smart Series at The Preserve, on homesites the builder lists at 50 to 70 feet wide depending on the series. Floor plans run roughly 1,626 to 3,833 square feet with 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 3 baths, priced from around $329,990 up to roughly $565,000, and a new phase is now selling.

From entry one-stories to 3,800-square-foot two-stories.
The Preserve’s M/I Homes series spans roughly 1,626 to 3,833 square feet with 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 3 baths, so the same community serves first-time buyers, move-up families and larger households. Plan names and sizes below follow the builder’s published plan list; availability changes as phases sell through.
Single-story entry plans: Polo II & Desoto
The entry point of the series: one-story designs from roughly 1,626 square feet (Polo II) and single-story plans extending through the high 1,700s (Desoto), per the builder’s published plan list. Confirm current plans, pricing and homesites with the M/I Homes sales team at the community.

A pool, a playground, a park and trails.
The Preserve’s amenity package keeps everyday life close to home. Residents have a community swimming pool, a playground for younger children, open community park space, and walking and biking trails that connect the neighborhood’s green areas.
Representative amenity imagery. Amenity details and schedules can change; confirm current amenities with the builder and the community HOA.
No MUD, no PID: the ownership-cost story.
M/I Homes reports The Preserve carries no Municipal Utility District (MUD) and no Public Improvement District (PID). Many newer communities in the FM 407 corridor layer MUD bonds or PID assessments on top of standard property taxes; at The Preserve, buyers avoid those special-district surcharges, which can keep the ownership bill lower over time.
Property taxes are still property-specific. The exact bill depends on the lot, its appraised value and the taxing entities for that address, including Denton County and Northwest ISD. To estimate taxes for a specific lot, pull the property-specific record from the Denton Central Appraisal District (appraised value, exemptions and the full taxing-entity list), then apply the taxing entities’ current adopted rates for the applicable tax year.
See the North Texas ownership-costs guide for the step-by-step tax-estimate process, and the HOA, PID and MUD explainer for how special districts work.
Is The Preserve right for you?
