I was compelled to drive just a tad toward Frisco, TX the other day and found myself in a small-but quickly growing, clean, quaint, accessible, newly constructed town called Prosper, TX. A community in which I found myself drawn to was the Lakes of La Cima, located a bit east of Preston Rd. on the north side of Hwy 380. Lakes of La Cima incorporates multiple builders that focus on a price range of the mid $200's to $500's....and you can really get a big bang for your buck. I was specifically impressed with Meritage Homes and have been a follower of their product and incredibly low price/sq.ft. against their competition for some time now, and the Meritage Homes products at Lakes of La Cima is for sure no exception.

The Meritage model home, the Tennyson plan, is architecturally intriguing and offers many wow factors that the buyer of today will appreciate and also the buyer of tomorrow. Some of those design items to highlight are open and elevated library at mid stairs, owners suite with comfortable sitting area, open entry with high ceilings, 3 car garage, appealing elevation with high roof pitch and copper metal roof, roman arched columns hinting room separations, open to below catwalks, exercise room off of master closet, upper and lower level covered patios, huge 21x12 media room and highly-demanded open kitchen with floating island open to the family room for Texas style entertainment. The Tennyson plan boasts over 4800 well thought out and organized square feet to meet the typical North Texan demands of 5 bedroom, 3 car garage, covered patio, study, loft, media, gameroom mecca. The most memorable part about the Tennyson is the base price of $335,990, offering a rare base price/sq foot at $69/sq foot---oh and did I mention that includes an oversized lot? This is what Meritage Homes is known for, though! Taking the impossible and making it possible for the masses. Take a look a this floorplan, by clicking here, and allow the Tennyson's description to come to life for you and your family.

In addition to focusing on cutting-edge floor plan design, Meritage strives for perfect community location, amenities and land position. Lakes of La Cima is no different as the neighborhood boasts 23 acres of greenbelts and parks surrounded by 5 lakes, lagoon style pool, multiple playgrounds, onsite Exemplary rated Elementary School and family friendly hike and bike trails. If you are new to DFW and come from a place where you will need mature trees, water and other outdoor elements for your family, then really consider Prosper, TX. Some local employers and office locations that would not be more than a 20-30 minute drive include Raytheon (Mckinney), Legacy Business Center (Legacy and Tollway), Dallas Tollway/Hwy 121, I-75/Hwy 380 and any other North of Dallas Employer. If Proper is not quite the area you are looking for to live, then check out some of Meritage Home's other communities throughout DFW for other exceptional deals and high value at a low cost/sq foot by clicking here for their community map. Also feel free to check out our Dallas Area cities new construction page for all new builders in Frisco, Allen, Plano, Lewisville, and Prosper, by clicking here.

The Pros: You get a lot of house for the money on a good sized lot, great school district, and clean neighborhood appeal with lots of amenities.
The Cons: You are a good 15 minute drive from your closest Super Target and general needs. With Prosper's growth and infrastructure on Hwy 380, however, commercial build out should be on the way very soon though…so invest now before the major commercial growth hits, which is what will drive prices up!
