Senior Communities in North Texas

By
Real Estate Agent with Newstream Realty

There are several communities for seniors in North Texas. Although they call them "senior" communities, buyers as young as 55 can purchase in several neighborhoods. The most well known communities in North Texas are Robson Ranch in Denton, Heritage Ranch in Fairview, Frisco Lakes in Frisco, and Watermere in Southlake.

These communities are geared towards seniors looking for an active lifestyle. Many of them have ammenities such as community pools, tennis courts, golf courses, gyms, and craft centers. Additionally, several of the neighborhoods include lawn care in the monthly dues.

Robson Ranch is a senior community in Denton has been opened for several years now. They have recently started a new series of homes called the cottage collection. These homes start in the $130's. Other series are available as well with pricing up to the $500's. Robson Ranch has been named one of the top 100 best communities in America!

Heritage Ranch in Fariview is a golf community for adults 55 and up. There is a 24,000 square foot clubhouse that has outdoor and indoor swimming pools, a restaurant and lounge, business center, billiards, library, fitness center, arts and crafts room, theater, and banquet facility. My sister-in-law, Hillary, had a beautiful wedding in 2008 in the clubhouse overlooking the golf course. Homes start in the $150's and go up to the $500's.

Frisco Lakes in Frisco is another senior community in Frisco. Designed by Del Webb, homes start in the $130's and go to the $300's. There is a new clubhouse opening this Saturday, March 27th. They'll be offering snacks and wine to prospective buyers.

The $6,500 tax credit for home buyers expires on April 30th. To qualify, you must have owned a home for 5 consecutive years out of the last 8 and be under contract to purchase a home by April 30th. Closing must take place on or before June 30th.

If you are interested in more information about any of these active senior communities, please call or email me today. I would be happy to gather any data you need, as well as send you a list of homes that meet your needs.

Those communities lose money here in Florida, unfortunately.
