Canyon Falls is a 1,199-acre master-planned community on the far west side of Flower Mound that spills into Argyle and Northlake, built around a 200-acre creek preserve, 14 miles of trails and a resort-style club. It is one of the few places in the Flower Mound area where you can still buy new construction and resale side by side.

We have helped buyers and sellers in Canyon Falls since the early phases. This guide covers where it sits, what the homes and builders look like, what the HOA costs in 2026 and what it includes, which school district a given address feeds, and what to know before you write an offer.

Key Takeaways

• 1,199 acres across Northlake, Flower Mound and Argyle, developed by Newland, now part of Brookfield Properties (community FAQ, read October 14, 2026).
• 2026 HOA dues are $608 a quarter, and that figure includes Frontier internet and cable and front yard maintenance (Canyon Falls HOA, read October 14, 2026).
• 10 miles of paved trails plus about 4 miles of natural trails, two pools, a splash pad, a fitness center, fishing ponds and a dog park.
• Zoned to Argyle ISD or Northwest ISD depending on the address, with two Argyle ISD campuses planned inside the community.
• Chesmar Homes and Windmiller Homes are building in the current phase; most of the community is now resale.

Where Is Canyon Falls Located?

Canyon Falls sits just off FM 1171 (Cross Timbers Road) at the western edge of Flower Mound, with sections inside the town limits of Northlake and Argyle as well. From the entrance you can reach I-35W, US 377 and Highway 114 in a few minutes, which puts Roanoke, Southlake Town Square and DFW Airport within roughly 15 to 25 minutes depending on the hour.

Furst Ranch, the large mixed-use development across FM 1171, is the thing most likely to change daily life here over the next decade. Our guide to Furst Ranch in Flower Mound covers what is planned and when.

Takeaway: Canyon Falls feels tucked away, but the highway access is better than most of Flower Mound proper.

What Types of Homes Are in Canyon Falls?

The community was built in phases over more than a decade, so the housing mix is wide: single-story three-bedroom plans on smaller lots, two-story four- and five-bedroom homes, and larger custom-style homes on the bigger lots near the preserve. Square footage runs from roughly 1,600 to over 5,000.

Builders currently selling in Canyon Falls, per the community's own site, are Chesmar Homes and Windmiller Homes. Earlier sections were built by a mix that included Drees Custom Homes, Coventry Homes, American Legend Homes and Perry Homes, which is why resale homes here vary so much in style and finish from one street to the next.

We do not publish a price range on this page because it moves too fast to trust. Ask us and we will pull current sold prices by section, which tell you far more than a community-wide range.

Takeaway: ask which phase and which builder a home came from. It changes the lot, the floor plan and often the price per square foot.

Who Developed Canyon Falls?

Canyon Falls was developed by Newland, which is part of Brookfield Properties and works with North America Sekisui House on this community. Newland's other DFW communities include Timarron in Southlake, Hollyhock in Frisco and Stonebridge Ranch in McKinney, and the design language is similar: a large natural preserve at the center, native limestone and plantings, and a lifestyle program run by the HOA.

Takeaway: this is a developer-planned community, not a collection of subdivisions, and it shows in the trails and the common areas.

What Amenities Does Canyon Falls Offer?

From the community FAQ, read October 14, 2026:

• Graham Branch Creek Preserve: 200 acres of natural open space with oak hammocks, wetlands, a historic hay barn, a dog park and multiple trailheads
• 10 miles of paved trails and about 4 miles of natural trails, plus another 200 acres of open space outside the preserve
• Canyon Falls Club with a fitness center, swimming pools and a splash pad
• Catch-and-release fishing ponds and playgrounds
• A lifestyle program of HOA-run events through the year

Takeaway: the preserve and the trails are the reason people choose Canyon Falls over a closer-in neighborhood. Walk them before you decide.

What Are the HOA Dues in Canyon Falls?

For 2026 the Canyon Falls Master Community assessment is $608 a quarter, due January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. The HOA's own payment page breaks it down as $371 for the base assessment, $168 for TV and internet service through Frontier, and $69 for front yard landscape maintenance (read October 14, 2026). The association is managed by SBB Community Management, formerly Guardian.

Two things to budget for beyond the dues:

• The community FAQ lists Argyle MUD as the water provider, so some addresses carry a municipal utility district tax on top of city and county taxes. Ask us for the exact rate on any lot you are considering.
• Dues change year to year, and the resale certificate the seller provides during your option period states the current amount, any special assessment and any transfer fee. Our post on who pays for the HOA resale certificate in Flower Mound explains that document.

Takeaway: $608 a quarter sounds high until you subtract the internet and the front yard. Compare it to what you pay separately now.

Which Schools Serve Canyon Falls?

Canyon Falls spans two districts, and the address decides which one you are in:

• Argyle ISD: Argyle South Elementary, Argyle Middle and Argyle High School. Argyle ISD holds an A+ overall grade from Niche and ranks #1 among Denton County districts (Niche, read September 14, 2026). The community FAQ says two Argyle ISD schools, including the high school, will be built inside Canyon Falls.
• Northwest ISD: Lance Thompson Elementary, Medlin Middle School and Byron Nelson High School, per the zoning the community FAQ lists for the 2023-24 school year.

Attendance zones change, so confirm the assigned campuses for a specific address with the district before you write an offer. The district line also affects the tax rate, so ask for both at the same time.

Takeaway: two homes a street apart can feed different districts and carry different tax bills. Check the address, not the neighborhood name.

What Are the Trade-Offs of Living in Canyon Falls?

• Competition. Well-priced homes in the popular sections do not sit long. Have your financing and your must-have list ready before you tour.
• Dues and the MUD. The HOA dues include real services, but the combined cost of dues plus a MUD tax is higher than in older Flower Mound neighborhoods.
• Ongoing construction. The current phase is still being built, and Furst Ranch across FM 1171 will bring years of construction traffic.
• Distance to the east side. The Shops at Highland Village, Grapevine and the lake are a real drive from here. If your life runs east, look at the Lakeside area first.

If you are weighing Canyon Falls against Harvest or an older Argyle neighborhood, read Harvest vs. Canyon Falls vs. Argyle proper, and for the new-versus-resale question inside Flower Mound, start with new construction versus resale in Flower Mound.

Takeaway: the value is in the land and the trails. Make sure the dues, the taxes and the commute still work on paper.

Homes for Sale in Canyon Falls

Because Canyon Falls crosses three town lines, the homes for sale in Canyon Falls on any given day are split across Flower Mound, Northlake and Argyle listings, and a search by city alone will miss some of them. New-build inventory from Chesmar and Windmiller does not always reach the MLS either.

You can browse every Flower Mound home for sale here, updated from the MLS, and see the Northlake and Argyle sides on our Northlake guide and Argyle guide. If you want only Canyon Falls, tell us the sections and price you are watching and we will send you each new listing the day it hits, along with the builder's current sheet and what the last few homes on that street sold for.

Should You Move to Canyon Falls?

Canyon Falls makes sense if you want a large, nature-first community with real trails, a club you will actually use, and the option of new construction, and you are comfortable with HOA dues that include services and with being on the west side of town. If you want walkable retail or an older established street with grown trees, look at Bridlewood or the Lakeside area first.

At BlueFuse Group, we help families like yours make this decision with real numbers and no pressure. Schedule a time to talk through Canyon Falls with us and let's build your future together.

The Flower Mound side of Canyon Falls is one of a handful of places still selling new homes in town. Our guide to every new construction community in Flower Mound compares them by builder, price band and lot availability.
