With a total of 1650 lots at build-out, currently there are only 62 for a buyer to choose to build a home on!

There are around 23 on model row and backing to the amenity Center and the pool which Landon will release in the next coming months taking Richwoods to 100% completion.

Regardless of the section you prefer, getting in towards the end has its benefits as well.

SECRET and GATED Parkside development in Prosper might be best find in 2018!

Jul9

I see a lot of new developments and I can clearly see a difference on if the developer is spending money to do it right, and Parkside at Prosper is 100% one of those communities and the best kept secret in Prosper.

Parkside is not too big or even too small! It’s a total of 161 lots with 4 of the best Builders in DFW: American Legend, Highland, Drees and Huntington.

As you head North on Coit you might miss it like I have before. Huge mature trees line Coit and then an opening appears with a smaller than normal development sign Parkside.

Nothing wrong with this at all because clearly, Parkside residents know what they have and don’t want to let everyone know!

Only the 4th gated community in Prosper and pretty centrally located within the city.

Why Parkside matters?

The topography of Parkside is unlike many neighborhoods in DFW. It’s not flat land but has hills, parks, trails that really gave my drive through a welcoming feel.

The two ponds in the middle are such a nice touch to be a focal point and I’m pretty sure will create community. Something that most new home developments lack for the past decade.

Lot sizes. American Legend and Highland homes start off at 80 foot wide lots and 135 foot deep. And they are the lower end options!

Larger lots in a community not only make visual appeal better but help keep value up as well.

Then bringing in Drees Homes in the 90 foot wide homesites and Huntington at the 100 foot and 150 foot wide sites, you just can’t go wrong.

Along the northern border in red, there are even 1/2 acre homesites to be claimed.

The HOA is around $1,600 a year due to gates, ponds and maintaining the beautiful green areas which is normal.

But there was one think that blew me away here. It was the Drees Plan Model called the Elmsdale.

Drees did a WHOLE LOT OF RIGHT on this model! Exterior is gorgeous with a swing garage.

Its a wow factor opening the large door to a sightline to the backyard patio.

Staircase curved with beautiful colors of plates. Something I have never seen was a laundry room like this.

From the location, built in cabinets, island with room for sitting and folding, space for extra fridge, connecting to master closet and location for doggie bath, I would put this laundry room up against ANY builders in DFW.

I never thought a laundry room could blow me away like this.

The Lucurious Kitchen has cabinets galore and even has a prep room where you can hide all your large appliances but have easy access to them when in need!

Beautiful 2 story family with beams and Juliet balcony.

Master bath set up nicely with freestanding tub, double spouts on the shower and to die for closets.

Upstairs includes 3 rooms with 3 baths and media/gameroom side by side.

I was leaving and thought if this plan had an extra bedroom down, and what do you know, It was tucked back practically unseen throughout the first floor, but there.

Also, the outside had a pool bath that was extra large and only a foot to outside for guests. Brilliant.

Yes, I was pretty blown away at Parkside in Prosper with only 161 lots, Gated and 4 top builders, but I’m pretty sure you would be too!

Village Builders at Edgestone in Frisco introduces Wi-Fi Certified Smart Homes on all new builds with Amazon Consultants.

Jun24

Village Builders is owned by Lennar Homes, the #2 homebuilder in the U.S., is the first to adopt “Wi-Fi Certified Home Design,” a new Wi-Fi Alliance seal signifying the network is designed for “whole-home connectivity, with no dead spots.”

Village Builders are building at Edgestone in Frisco has around 12 inventory homes that already have this technology built in the walls! To me the need to prewire for a robust wireless network is absolutely genius!

Lennar’s new technology portfolio — from loudspeakers to thermostats to home automation — will all tap into this anointed wireless architecture. A solid Wi-Fi foundation will ensure these technologies work well today, right out of the box.

New home buyers expect “things to just work,” says Brad Holden, president of Holden New Homes, in an interview with CE Pro.

That extends not just to plumbing and electrical, but wireless Internet as well.

With the help of the Wi-Fi Alliance, Lennar is creating Wi-Fi “heat maps” for each of its floor plans, specifying where routers and wireless access points should reside. This is genius because I have a fairly new house and have this issue big time!

Routers and other gear are stored in RF-friendly plastic boxes, with Cat 6a cable run to WAP locations – from one to three, depending on the floor plan.

Per the spec, the WAPs must be accessible to the consumer, i.e., not up high on vaulted ceilings.

That way, says Kaiserman, “as [network] speeds grow, you can easily replace the access points.”

“They’re plumbing this in,” says Greg Rhoades, marketing director for Leviton, which helped develop the Wi-Fi spec and has supplied structured-wiring products for Lennar. “We’re really starting to see Wi-Fi being the fourth utility. Just as builders are laying out plumbing, gas and electric, they’re doing it for Wi-Fi.”

For its part, Lennar is using networking gear from Ruckus, a brand known for commercial-grade quality.

Talk to anyone who specializes in home automation and other low-voltage technologies, and they will applaud Lennar for adopting Wi-Fi Certified Home Design.

On the other hand, explain how Lennar is eliminating almost all other low-voltage wires in new homes, and their enthusiasm fades (note that Lennar’s plans are still fluid).

Lennar was actually highlighted on Good Morning America a couple weeks ago telling how this is going to change the world of building.

Wi-Fi Certified: good news!

The good news for Lennar, home buyers and the tech community: The Wi-Fi Certified seal of approval requires homes to be prewired for wireless access points (WAPs or APs), ensuring whole-house, continuous Wi-Fi coverage with no dead spots.

Lennar is the first to adopt the protocol as a standard for all of its new homes – more than 25,000 per year.

Good for them for being progressive thinkers,” says William Zidek of Chicago-based Tandem Marketing, a leading manufacturers’ representative for the home-technology industry. “I hope it motivates luxury-oriented builders to offer better infrastructure as a standard.”

Zidek’s sentiment is pretty universal among the home-technology trade. When consumers have trouble with any connected device in the home, chances are it has something to do with the wireless network.

The Wi-Fi router is usually located at the edge of the home, leaving much of the property with spotty coverage.

New home buyers expect Wi-Fi to “just work,” says David Kaiserman, president of Lennar Ventures.

For that to happen, he says, you need to “engineer for wireless from the get-go.”

So far, everyone’s pretty much in agreement on that.

What I am really shocked and impressed about is the fact that an Amazon Consultant comes to your house and spends a couple hours explaining how to work the connected devices. They also include a ring doorbell, Echo Show, Echo Dot, Sonos Play 1 and more.

Village builders sold 2 of the inventory homes over the weekend, so they are down to 12 with all this Smart House Wu-Fi Certified Technology already included!

A 5-Acre Crystal Clear LAGOON announced at Prospers Windsong Ranch Development!

Jun20

Windsong Ranch in Prosper will have the first of its kind in a residential community in North Texas, a Crystal Clear 5-acre Lagoon!

And no, this is not a marketing ploy, this is happening!

Craig Martin with Terra Verde Group purchased the 2,000 acres in 2012. I heard about it and I personally thought they were nuts and it was going to be a huge disappointment because there was literally nothing around the acreage but more farmland in West Prosper. Boy was I wrong.

Fast forward 6 years and they have made moves with the City of Prosper that no developer would even think to make at the beginning of a development.

They donated 50 acres to the city for a city park and land for a high school, middle school and two elementary schools. A total of approximately 6 million dollars!

What exactly is a Crystal Lagoon?

Crystal Lagoons is a multi-national company that creates man-made lagoons with crystal clear water and white sandy beaches in places far away from the ocean. Plans are to include a wide variety of recreational activities such as swimming, kayaking remote control boat races, paddle boarding and wind surfing!

I had to take a drive and see it for myself and of course there is a platform with stairs that overlooks the entire lagoon. (Wouldn’t expect anything less from this incredible developer.)

I was curious about how they can keep it clear and clean and was told there is technology that monitors the water and the filtration and is controlled remotely via an internet cloud! Very cool! 😎

Plans are for the lagoon to be open for year round and will have access for food truck vendors. This will be the second of four planned amenity centers for Windsong Ranch.

Below are actual real Crystal Lagoons built in different countries. They look amazing!

At buildout, Windsong Ranch is slated for 3,500 single family homes and will have over 600 acres of green space, parks, creeks, trails and amenities! Wow.

Huntington Homes and Toll Brothers have started Pre-selling on the 86 wide by 130 deep lots directly across from the Lagoon.

If you are interested in living in a development with a LAGOON and 4 amenity centers in West Prosper, text or call Brad Holden today at (469)733-2723 for more info on the 10 Builders!
