Arlington’s Eden Road To Feature
High-End Homes on Smaller Lots A 40-home gated subdivision in southwest Arlington, north of Eden Road and west of U.S. Highway 287, has been approved by the Arlington City Council with construction expected to being next summer. Te 9-acre heavily treed plot, near the entrance to the Martin Luther King Jr. Sports Complex and Tierra Verde Golf Club, is largely undeveloped and has been owned by an Arlington family since the 1950s.
Te developer successfully proposed for the city to rezone the property for more homes per acre than was previously allowed in the area. Eden Village will have 4.39 homes per acre compared with the 2.5 homes per acre previously stipulated.
Te private
community will feature high-end brick homes with two and three bedrooms, expected to start at $280,000. Eden Village homes will be built on smaller lots with more amenities, including tree- lined sidewalks designed to appeal to empty-nester and senior buyers seeking a high-end, secure neighborhood.
3,000 Residents To Call Prosper’s
Light Farms Home Where the Dallas North Tollway ends, a sought after new lifestyle now begins, says Dallas-based Republic Property Group. It pur- chased 908 picturesque acres of former agricultural land in 2006, and has now officially opened an information center and model homes. Just 10 minutes north of Frisco in the Prosper Independent School District, Light Farms will eventually be home for approxi- mately 3,000 residents. Prices start in the $240s, presenting a prime opportunity for buyers seeking enrollment at PISD schools without a Prosper address, as Light Farms offers smaller starting lot sizes than adjacent Prosper allows within its city limits.
Republic Property Group has allocated 132 acres for green space and creating pocket parks, micro gardens and a $13-million greenbelt with three miles of hike and bike trails. With Republic Property Group’s initial support, the HOA will also be tasked to oversee an array of engaging, family-friendly programming featur- ing regular happenings such as movie nights, concerts, barbecues, pool parties plus seasonal festivals and events. Te company was also instrumental in laying the groundwork for the construction of a dedicated fire station to serve Light Farms and has donated land that will be utilized for Light Farms’ first on-site elementary school, which is slated to debut in 2015.
Frames from an early 19th century barn reclaimed from Upstate New York were used to create a community landmark that is part of the neighborhood’s state-of-the-art fitness facility; it includes a tennis center with four hard courts and a lakeside aquatic complex with four pools ranging from a junior Olympic for the serious swimmer, to a splash pool for those just getting their feet wet.
