What's the difference between Whyburn Manor Series and Whyburn Estate Series?

Whyburn Manor Series sits on 80-foot homesites starting at $939,990, with homes ranging from 2,926 to 4,140 square feet. Whyburn Estate Series sits on 100-foot homesites starting around $1,237,990, with homes ranging from 3,681 to 5,282 square feet. Both are built by David Weekley Homes on the same former Whyburn Farms land in Flower Mound, zoned to Lewisville ISD, and the right one for you comes down to lot size, budget, and how much house you actually need.

Whyburn gets talked about like it's one neighborhood, and technically it is, but David Weekley is building two genuinely different products on that land. I get asked about the difference almost every time a client brings up Whyburn, so let's break it down properly.

The two series, side by side

Whyburn Manor Series

• 80-foot homesites
• Homes from 2,926 to 4,140 square feet
• Priced from $939,990
• Rough price per square foot: roughly $227 to $321, depending on the plan and lot

Whyburn Estate Series

• 100-foot homesites
• Homes from 3,681 to 5,282 square feet
• Priced from approximately $1,237,990 (the Mandan floor plan, a 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath, 4-garage layout, is a good benchmark here)
• Rough price per square foot: roughly $234 to $336, depending on the plan and lot

Both communities sit at the corner of FM 2499 (Long Prairie Road) and Dixon Road, on land that was part of the historic Whyburn Farms dating back to 1888. Both are zoned to Lewisville ISD, with students moving on to Briarhill Middle and Marcus High School, both under a mile away.

The price-per-square-foot ranges actually land closer together than you'd expect. That tells you the real difference isn't value, it's lot size and scale. You're not paying dramatically more per square foot for Estate Series. You're paying for 20 extra feet of lot width and the larger floor plans that width makes possible.

Why the lot width matters more than it sounds like it does

An 80-foot lot and a 100-foot lot don't sound that different on paper. In practice, that extra 20 feet usually shows up as a wider side yard, more separation from your neighbor's windows, and room for a larger footprint without the house feeling like it's maxing out the lot.

If privacy and outdoor space are high on your list, that's where Estate Series earns its premium. If you're more focused on getting into a new-construction home in Flower Mound without pushing past the $1 million mark, Manor Series gets you there with plenty of room. A 4,140-square-foot home on an 80-foot lot is not a small house by any measure.

Something worth knowing before you get attached to a lot

Whyburn is smaller than most of the new-construction conversations happening in Flower Mound right now. The residential portion David Weekley is building, the northern part of the original Whyburn Addition, is planned for roughly 90 lots total across both series. A separate 28-acre southern portion of the same historic tract has been marketed for sale as raw land, currently zoned agricultural, and isn't part of the David Weekley residential community.

Ninety lots total, split between two series, in one of Flower Mound's more established central locations, is a genuinely limited run. That's a different conversation than Furst Ranch's 1,400 planned homes or Lakeside Village's 1,000-home buildout. If a specific lot or orientation matters to you (corner lot, cul-de-sac, distance from Dixon Road), that's a decision to make sooner rather than later.

How to think about which series fits you

A few questions I walk clients through:

• What's your real budget ceiling, all-in? If $1 million is a hard stop once you add Custom Choices upgrades, Manor Series gives you more room to spend on finishes instead of square footage.
• How much yard do you actually use? If your current home has a big backyard you rarely touch, the extra width of an Estate Series lot may matter less than you think. If your family is outside constantly, it's worth the premium.
• Are you moving up from a home that already has 4,000+ square feet? If so, Manor Series's larger floor plans (up to 4,140 square feet) may already match or beat your current space, at a lower entry price than Estate Series.
• Is this your last move for a while? Estate Series lots tend to hold their premium well precisely because there are fewer of them. If you're thinking 10+ years out, that scarcity is worth factoring into the decision, not just the monthly payment.

None of this replaces walking both model rows in person and seeing how the floor plans actually live. But knowing the real difference (lot width and scale, not fundamentally different value per square foot) helps you walk in asking better questions instead of just reacting to the price tag on the sign.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Whyburn Manor Series or Estate Series a better value?

Neither is meaningfully "better value" in the traditional sense. Price per square foot runs close between the two once you account for the specific plan and lot. The real difference is lot width (80 feet versus 100 feet) and the larger floor plans that extra width supports in Estate Series.

What school district is Whyburn zoned to?

Whyburn, including both Manor Series and Estate Series, is zoned to Lewisville ISD. Students attend Briarhill Middle School and Marcus High School, both located less than a mile from the community.

How many homes will Whyburn have when it's built out?

The David Weekley residential portion of Whyburn (the northern portion of the original Whyburn Addition) is planned for approximately 90 lots across both series combined. A separate 28-acre southern portion of the historic tract is not part of this residential community and has been marketed separately as raw land.

Where exactly is Whyburn located in Flower Mound?

Whyburn sits at the corner of FM 2499 (Long Prairie Road) and Dixon Road, on land that was formerly part of Whyburn Farms, a working farm dating back to 1888.

Should I buy in Whyburn or wait for a resale home to come up nearby?

That depends on your timeline, your budget, and what you're willing to trade for a brand-new home versus an established one with mature landscaping. It's worth running the numbers on both before you commit, since the right answer is different for every family.
