Quick Update on the Lagoon at Windsong Ranch! Wow!

Mar1

The Lagoon at Windsong Ranch is well underway! The last time I saw this it was all undeveloped land with some water and that was only like 8 months ago.

Windsong Ranch is a huge master planned development in Prosper. Many new builders have purchased lots due to the success like Shaddock Homes, Huntington Homes, Toll Brothers and Mainvue.

The Lagoon is 5 acres and is going to be the first of its kind with 3 white sand beaches with kayak rentals. It’s truly an amazing amenity that no other development around here can compare to.

There is a viewing platform where I filmed from that would blow anyone away seeing this in person.

Who wouldn’t want to live in a community with a Lagoon?

What is the difference between PID taxes vs. MUD taxes in developments in Texas?

Aug6

PID vs. MUD has been coming up a lot lately from my clients.

In rural area developments in Texas like Mustang Lakes and Lilyana, new buyers will hear the terms PID and MUD.

Mustang Lakes in Celina.

“The purpose for these “special assessments” is to fund new infrastructure to the development when the standard tax base alone is insufficient.”

MUD Taxes, or Municipal Utility District assessments, and PID Taxes, or Public Improvement District assessments are above the standard property taxation.

MUD taxes have no expiration date! They will stay with the Home from one owner to the next. As more homes are constructed in MUD districts, MUD taxes can decrease or be eliminated over time. But that rarely happens.

PIDs, unlike the tax rates for MUDs, are fixed once the bonds are sold.  This means a homeowner will know the annual assessment bill at closing.  PID assessments can be paid in full up front, versus prorating year by year during the years the PID is active. PID’s have a set time and can run out on a specific date.

Mustang Lakes and Lilyana, both are communities with PID assessments or MUD taxes, have slightly lower home pricing to reflect the added tax burden. Some developments eliminate PIDs and MUDs all together by adding the expense on to their lots.

At the rate the Prosper-Celina area is growing, there is an overage cost for new infrastructure that does not have a sufficient tax base to fund development.

Currently there are more than 900 municipal utility districts in Texas. They are not uncommon and also should not be a reason for buyers to choose a different community just because of them. New home buyers just need to be informed and educated about it.

There is one advantage for these taxes strangely. Both MUD taxes and PID assessments are tax deductible! So in a way, they really don’t affect your bottom line.

Whitley Place In Prosper is the most beautiful development in DFW

Jul25

Whitley Place in Prosper is easy to find and very, VERY hard to leave.

With an abundance of large mature trees, rolling hills, 4 ponds, and Wilson Creek running through it, Whitley Place beats every neighborhood in Prosper for beauty! (My pictures do not do it justice.)

In 2008, the visionary Dale Clark of Warren Clark Development, purchased the 320 acre Whitley Place development in Prosper. He purchased three parcels of land to maximize the vision for the 540 lot development.

The first large piece was the Whitley land owned by John and Agnes Whitley, hence the name Whitley Place. While the other major parcel was owned by Doyle Stacey(which was how Stacey Rd. in Plano and Allen got it’s name). The third parcel was 16 acres owned by Grace Presbyterian Church.

Why Dale Clark is the mastermind.

In the 1980’s Dale Clark was a very well known custom builder and responsible for many of the high end meticulous North Dallas homes. His father was legendary developer Warren Clark.

His signature custom home was huge, elegant homes built close to green belts. So I’m pretty sure with all of that experience he knew that Whitley Place would be a home run.

His other well known and very well laid out developments include:

•The Meadow at Montgomery Farm – Allen

• West Falls Village – Frisco

• Lawler Park – Frisco

• Parkside – Prosper

• Westwyck Hills – Southlake

• Coventry Manor – Southlake

I am a huge fan of Parkside the gated community in Prosper as well but it’s smaller with around 161 total lots.

Whitley Place is located at the corner of Custer Road and 1st Street. It’s two minute drive to highway 380 with all kinds of new retailers and conveniences. It also provides quick access to Preston and the Dallas North Tollroad for easy access to a work commute.

Aside from the beauty, I love the fact that the streets are winding, the amazing lot sizes, signage through the neighborhood is very tasteful and the borders of the development are filled with the best greenery and trees I have seen.

Most developers put landscaping around the borders, but this amount shows the importance of looks and value blocking out power lines and roads that Dale wanted to incorporate.

The smallest lot size is 80 feet wide by 125 deep. This helps the look and feel tremendously while driving through the community.

The builders who were chosen to open the community were Darling Homes, Highland Homes and Huntington Homes.

Currently, the builders are Drees, Highland and Huntington. And a few custom builders selected to build out the large estate lots like Ron Davis Custom Homes, Tim Jackson Custom Homes, Sanders Custom Builders, and J Parker Custom Homes.

Drees Homes is in Close-Out with only 8 lots, a model Home and 12 inventory homes. They are running a 90th anniversary sale that will end July 31st.

Highland Homes is also close to close-out with only 3 lots available and 8 inventory homes left.

Huntington Homes has 1 Lot and 4 inventory homes available.

“If you are looking at moving to Prosper and for a new home, Whitley Place is definitely worth the drive. Text or call Brad Holden today at (469)733-2723 for a tour of the community or more specific details on the builders and inventory at Whitley Place in Prosper.”
