Which builder should you choose at Furst Ranch in Flower Mound?

Six of Furst Ranch's nine planned builders were actively selling as of mid-2026: Highland Homes, Coventry Homes, David Weekley Homes, and Shaddock Homes opened first, with Toll Brothers starting sales in summer 2026. Pricing spans the high $500,000s (Coventry, 50-foot lots) to over $2.5 million across the full build-out, and lot width often drives the price gap more than the builder name does. Before you sign with any one builder, confirm your lot's school zoning and warranty terms directly, since both can vary within the same community.

Furst Ranch has crossed a threshold this year that hasn't existed before: for the first time, there are enough builders selling in the same Flower Mound community to actually compare them against each other, not just against Whyburn or Lakeside. If you want the community itself first, the acreage, the park plan, the MUD and the timeline, our Furst Ranch guide covers it; this post is the builder comparison.

That's a good problem to have, and also a confusing one. Nine builders total, six of them live, each with different lot widths, price bands, and standard features. Here's how to actually sort through it.

What Each Builder Is Offering Right Now

Furst Ranch sits on roughly 2,300 acres at Highway 377 and FM 1171, and it's being built in phases over the next decade-plus. Highland Homes launched the first presales in January 2026, and the roster has grown fast since. The figures below are the builders' published pricing as of July 2026, when this post was written, kept as the dated frame:

• Coventry Homes: 50-foot lots in the High Plains neighborhood. Eight floor plans from $559,990 to $672,990, running 1,977 to 3,695 square feet.
• David Weekley Homes: $663,990 to $765,990, with floor plans from about 2,230 to 4,030 square feet.
• Highland Homes: 60-foot and 70-foot lot sections, priced in the high $700,000s to high $900,000s. First builder to open at Furst Ranch.
• Shaddock Homes: $769,000 to $1,063,000 in the High Plains section, 2,586 to 4,645 square feet.
• Toll Brothers: Two collections launching summer 2026: the Grove Collection on 70-foot lots starting in the low $900,000s, and the Meadow Collection on 80-foot lots starting at $1.1 million.
• Ashton Woods: 50-foot by 120-foot-plus lots, pricing not yet fully published as of this writing.
• Drees Custom Homes and Partners in Building: both listed as "coming soon" as of spring 2026, with Drees homes expected to run $851,900 to $1,098,900 once sales open.

Update, October 2026: builder pricing moves with each release, and two of the from-prices above have already moved. Read on the builders' own sites on October 16, 2026, Highland Homes lists Furst Ranch from the $860s and Toll Brothers' Grove Collection from $851,995, both above the July frame. Treat every number on this page as the starting point for a conversation with the sales office, not the quote.

Notice the pattern: the price difference between builders isn't really about brand. It's about lot width. A 50-foot lot buys you into the $500,000s to $600,000s. Jump to a 70- or 80-foot lot and you're solidly into seven figures, regardless of which builder's sign is out front.

If you're deciding between builders, decide on lot width and home size first. That narrows your list to two or three builders fast, and makes the rest of the comparison a lot easier.

Four Things the Price Tag Won't Tell You

Once you've got your list narrowed down, the real differences show up in the details:

Warranty coverage. Every builder at Furst Ranch offers some version of the standard new-construction warranty (roughly a one-year workmanship warranty, two-year systems warranty, and ten-year structural warranty), but the fine print on what's covered and what triggers a claim varies builder to builder. This matters more than most buyers realize, and it's a big part of why I still recommend an independent inspection on every new build, a point I've made walking clients through Toll Brothers' new construction at Dixon Estates in Flower Mound as well. Get the written warranty terms from each builder before you sign, not just the sales brochure summary.

Standard features versus upgrades. Model homes are staged with upgrades that aren't included in the base price. Ask each builder for a written list of what's standard in your specific floor plan versus what costs extra, and compare those lists side by side, not just the base prices.

Builder timeline and construction stage. Highland Homes and Coventry have been selling the longest and have the most built inventory to walk through. If you want to see a finished home rather than picture yourself into a model, that matters. Toll Brothers, Drees, and Partners in Building are newer to the community, which means less finished inventory but potentially more flexibility on lot selection.

Community infrastructure still catching up. The Town of Flower Mound approved a $22.17 million infrastructure agreement for Furst Ranch in March 2026, covering water, road, and sewer work expected to wrap up by the end of the year. The planned amenities, including a 97-acre central park and a resident clubhouse, are still being built out in phases. If early access to finished amenities matters to your family, ask each builder's sales office exactly which phase your section falls into.

The School Zoning Question You Need to Verify Yourself

Here's the part that catches buyers off guard. Some marketing material for Furst Ranch states plainly that the entire community is zoned to Argyle ISD. Other sources indicate that most of Phase 1 actually falls in Lewisville ISD, with only the southwestern edge bordering Argyle's boundary. Argyle ISD has separately purchased roughly 35 to 50 acres within Furst Ranch for future elementary and middle school sites, which adds another layer of "coming eventually" to the picture.

The honest answer is that zoning within a large, multi-phase development like this can vary lot by lot, and it can also shift as the district finalizes boundaries for new sections. Don't rely on a builder's sales brochure or a portal listing for this one. Before you write an offer, verify the exact ISD for your specific address using the Denton Central Appraisal District records or the TEA School District Locator, and confirm it again in writing with the builder's sales office.

This is exactly the kind of detail that's easy to miss when you're comparing floor plans and finishes. It's also exactly the kind of thing I check for every client before we get anywhere near a contract.

What This Means for MUD Tax and HOA Costs

Furst Ranch MUD #1 is a confirmed municipal utility district, which means your property tax bill at Furst Ranch will include a MUD tax layer on top of standard city, county, and school taxes, regardless of which builder you choose. A separate proposed PID for the area was voted down by Flower Mound residents in 2024, so that additional layer isn't in play right now. I've broken down what the MUD taxes at Furst Ranch actually cost and what Texas's MUD and PID disclosure requirements mean for buyers in more detail, including the notice and rescission rights every Furst Ranch buyer should know about.

HOA dues haven't been finalized publicly across all builders yet. Given the scope of the planned amenities, expect dues in line with other amenity-heavy master-planned communities in the metro, and get the specific number in writing from each builder before you compare their monthly costs apples to apples.

Comparing New Construction to What's Already on the Market

If you're this deep into comparing builders, it's worth stepping back and asking the bigger question too: is new construction actually the right move for your family right now, versus a resale home in an established Flower Mound neighborhood. I walk through that trade-off, including financing timelines and total cost differences, in this comparison of new construction versus resale in North Texas. If it is Furst Ranch against the town's other new-construction communities, our Whyburn vs. Furst Ranch vs. Lakeside comparison lines the three up.

Every one of these decisions, lot width, builder warranty, school zoning, MUD costs, gets easier with someone in your corner who isn't selling you a specific builder's inventory. That's the difference between researching this alone and having someone run the comparison with you.

Homes for Sale in Furst Ranch

Furst Ranch is builder inventory first. Each builder releases lots in its own section in phases, so the homes for sale here are quick move-ins that are already framed or finished and to-be-built lots you pair with a plan, and the list changes with every release across six sales offices. A resale market will form section by section as the first owners close and move, and with a decade-plus build-out the resale share will stay small for years.

You can browse every Flower Mound home for sale here, updated from the MLS; the Furst Ranch builders' homes appear there as each one lists them. If you want only Furst Ranch, tell us which lot width, builder and price you are watching and we will send you each release the day it posts, so you are comparing the same week's inventory across builders rather than six brochures.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many builders are at Furst Ranch in Flower Mound?

Nine builders are planned for the full Furst Ranch build-out. As of mid-2026, Highland Homes, Coventry Homes, David Weekley Homes, and Shaddock Homes were actively selling, Toll Brothers began sales in summer 2026, and Ashton Woods, Drees Custom Homes, and Partners in Building were expected to open sales soon after.

What's the price range for homes at Furst Ranch?

July 2026 pricing spanned roughly $559,990 on 50-foot lots (Coventry Homes) up to $1.1 million and beyond on 80-foot lots (Toll Brothers' Meadow Collection), with the full community expected to eventually range from the $500,000s to over $2.5 million as later, larger-lot phases open. By October 2026 Highland Homes listed from the $860s and Toll Brothers' Grove Collection from $851,995, so confirm current pricing with each sales office.

Is Furst Ranch zoned to Argyle ISD or Lewisville ISD?

Sources differ, and zoning can vary by lot and phase within the development. Confirm the exact school district for your specific address using the Denton Central Appraisal District or the TEA School District Locator, and get it in writing from the builder before you make an offer.

Does Furst Ranch have a MUD tax?

Yes. Furst Ranch MUD #1 is a confirmed municipal utility district, which adds a tax layer beyond standard city, county, and school district taxes. A separate proposed PID for the area was voted down by Flower Mound residents in 2024.

Should I buy the first available lot or wait for more builders to open?

That depends on your timeline and how particular you are about lot location. Earlier-selling builders like Highland Homes and Coventry have more finished inventory to walk through today, while waiting for builders like Toll Brothers or Drees may open up different lot widths and price points. There's no universally right answer here. It comes down to what you're optimizing for.

Which Furst Ranch builder has the most finished homes to walk through?

Highland Homes and Coventry Homes, because they have been selling the longest; Highland opened the first presales in January 2026. The builders that opened later have less finished inventory but, at this stage, more open lots to choose from.

Where can I see homes for sale in Furst Ranch right now?

Start with our Flower Mound homes for sale page, which carries each builder's MLS listings as they are released, then ask us for a Furst Ranch watch list so you see every builder's new release the same week instead of visiting six sales offices.
