Settlers Glen

This week, we are all abuzz about Settlers Glen in Waxahachie!  The Grand Opening for the 3rd phase in this fantastic community is around the corner and amazingly we are in closeout already!  We only have 8 homesites left. There is mixed anticipation and pride as we see glimpses of the amazing things to come in this area and look toward our 4th phase.  We’re getting in pictures as our first homes go up, and it’s hard to focus on much else.  More stunning than the final product is the knowledge that we made that happen.  To give you an idea of how that feels, please enjoy some photos of said final product:

As if the homes themselves weren’t enough, this beautiful community is quietly nestled between I-35E and HWY-287.  The location alone offers an amazing balance of big city living and country ease.  A 10 minute drive south will take you to beautiful downtown Waxahachie.  Featuring some of the most unique shops and dining options north of Austin, the town square is beautifully preserved around it’s famed courthouse pictured below.  If you’re itching to drive north, a 30 minute drive up 35E will land you in the heart of Downtown Dallas.  From there, you can explore the arts, entertainment and nightlife offered by the big city.
