Lantana
Lantana Texas Homes in Community of the Year
By The Buehlers and Associates

The masterpiece, master-planned community of Lantana graces 1,718 acres of prime Southern Denton County real estate between Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas.  The Hill Country-inspired architecture, extraordinary amenities, unequaled recreational facilities, manicured golf greens, and carefully maintained native Texas landscaping are all impressive.  However, the sense of community is what enriches the lives of residents of real estate in Lantana.

Unique Lantana neighborhoods feature home styles and prices for every lifestyle.  Whether Lantana homebuyers find a house in Crescent beginning in the $210s or in Laviana starting in the $700s, neighbors interact with neighbors while strolling around Lantana’s trail system, at Music on the Green on a warm summer night, on the playground, at the pool, and at yoga class.  Thirteen hundred families of all ages witness to the great fun, intergenerational activities, and the sense of belonging.

The most respected homebuilders in the Metroplex are involved in the project.  Newport Homebuilders, Huntington Homes, Newcastle Homes, Altura Homes, Grand Homes, David Weekley Homes, Balmoral Homes, Drees Custom Homes, Sotherby, BlackHawk, New Haven, Sanders & Associates, William Ryan, Huntington, and Highland Homes have added their creativity and workmanship to the Hill Country theme.

Since its inception in 1999 by the Republic Property Group that purchased the family owned Rayzor Ranch, both residents and people in the industry shower the development with accolades.  The company’s commitment to quality in every detail, to environmental preservation, and to the property owners themselves raises the standard for master-planned developments.  Honored by the Dallas Homebuilders Association, as Community of the Year in 2004 and 2006, as Master-Planned Community of the Year, and as the Local Industry Community of the Year, no one is about to sit on these laurels. 

With its wonderful location between Interstate 35 East and 35 West, the community hopes to build out at 4,000 single-family homes.  Families appreciate many thoughtful amenities such as underpasses built beneath major thoroughfares for the safety of the children, the negotiation of elementary and middle schools at the north end of the community operated by the renowned Denton Independent School District, and safe havens throughout the properties. 

Five pools and the Lantana Lightning Swim Team, extensive hike and bike trails spanning 400 acres of greenbelts, the fitness center with cardio and weight rooms, six tot lots to play in, and a community golf course rated in the Best Golf Courses and Clubs in 2005—these facilities and more encourage a healthy community life that residents are seeking. 

The community makes a conscious effort to bring people together.  One resident said that she plans her travels around the community calendar, not wanting to miss the gatherings and events.  No matter where you are moving from, the community families of all ages roll out the red carpet of their joy to welcome you.
