Our Texas master-planned communities are located in and around three of the state’s largest metro areas: Dallas–Fort Worth, Greater Houston, and Greater Austin. Each one reflects its region, from North Texas prairie to Houston-area bayous to the San Gabriel River north of Austin. Wherever your job or family takes you, you may find a new Hillwood home community nearby.

Dallas–Fort Worth: Trail Systems, Town Centers, and Agrihoods

Our master-planned communities in Dallas–Fort Worth sit in fast-growing North Texas corridors, including Denton, Argyle, Northlake, Justin, Little Elm, and Celina. North of Fort Worth, Harvest in Argyle and Northlake is one of Texas’s first agrihoods, where a working farm, community gardens, and fruit orchards bring farm-to-table living close to home. Nearby, Pecan Square gathers Northlake around a walkable town square, shaded by more than 200 pecan trees preserved from the property’s days as a horse farm. In Justin, Treeline centers on a stand of mature trees and a creek, which inspired the community’s name. It offers treehouse-themed amenities and a stargazing park. All three communities sit near the AllianceTexas corridor, home to hundreds of companies and one of North Texas’s largest job centers.

Parks, lakes, and preserved land set the tone in our other North Texas communities. Landmark in Denton sets aside an 1,100-acre network of parks, trails, and open space, and Ramble in Celina surrounds an 18-acre recreational lake with more than 200 acres of preserved natural areas. Also in Celina, Lilyana offers walking trails and a catch-and-release fishing pond, while Union Park in Little Elm, not far from Lake Lewisville, is centered on a 30-acre Central Park.

Greater Houston: Coastal Living and Preserved Nature

Our master-planned communities near Houston pair natural beauty with quick drives to the region’s job centers. In Manvel, Pomona sits along Mustang Bayou, where marshland and 100-year-old oak trees frame trails, parks, and a lake system with docks for kayaks and paddleboards. Valencia, just down the road, takes its name from the orange groves that once grew on the land, with lakes and green spaces woven throughout the community. Both are close to State Highway 288, which leads north to the Texas Medical Center and downtown Houston.

If coastal living appeals to you, Legacy in League City places you in Galveston County, between Houston and the Gulf. About 60 acres of waterways run through the community, with amenities including a clubhouse, fitness center, and pools. Students attend schools in Clear Creek ISD, and Interstate 45 connects you to shopping, dining, and major employers.

Austin & Central Texas: Scenic Hill Country and Riverfront Trails

If you’re looking at master-planned communities in the Austin area, Wolf Ranch in Georgetown brings river views and room to roam. The community sits along the South Fork of the San Gabriel River near the edge of the Texas Hill Country, with more than three miles of river frontage set aside for parks and riverside paths. Miles of trails wind through Wolf Ranch and connect to Georgetown’s regional trail system.

Residents can enjoy two amenity centers. One features an infinity-edge pool and playscape overlooking the San Gabriel River, along with indoor and outdoor event space. The other offers a pool with cabanas and a lounging deck, plus a splash pad, fitness center, and playground. Wolf Ranch Elementary, part of Georgetown ISD, is located inside the community.

Here’s what you’ll find when you tour some of Texas’s best master-planned communities.

Miles of Trails and Outdoor Recreation

Trails are part of every Hillwood plan. Walking, running, and biking paths link neighborhoods to parks, lakes, and natural areas, so you can reach the pool or a playground without getting in the car. In several of our communities, the trail network also ties into city and regional trails. Beyond the trails, our amenity-rich master-planned communities feature shared spaces such as resort-style pools, fitness centers, coworking spaces, dog parks, splash pads, and event lawns, depending on the community.

On-Site Lifestyle Directors and Year-Round Events

Many of our communities have on-site lifestyle directors whose job is to bring neighbors together. Their calendars include holiday celebrations, community concerts, farmers’ markets, fun runs, movie nights, resident clubs, volunteer opportunities, and classes that help residents develop new interests. With events throughout the year, you’ll have regular chances to meet neighbors who share your interests and turn new faces into friends.
