Landmark
Hillwood's brand-new 3,200-acre master-planned community on I-35 in southern Denton
Landmark is a very new master-planned community by Hillwood (the Perot company) on roughly 3,200 acres in southern Denton, fronting I-35 between Robson Ranch Road and FM 2449. It is being built out over many years as a large mixed-use development - thousands of homes plus commercial space, with a future H-E-B planned to anchor the retail district - and the first model homes opened in spring 2026 from a lineup of national and regional builders. The pitch is nature-forward suburban living: an amenity center, pools, dozens of miles of hike-and-bike trails, and lakes and green spaces, with Denton ISD schools planned on-site as the community grows. Because it is brand new, most everything here is under construction and the numbers below will move as phases open.
Price Range
From roughly the high $400Ks into the $600Ks+ (new construction, varies by builder and plan)
Property Types
New-construction single-family homes, Multiple builders across a range of sizes and price points, Homes roughly 2,100 – 3,300+ sq ft in the first phase
Year Built
2026 – present (under construction)
HOA: As a new Hillwood master plan, Landmark will carry a mandatory HOA that funds the amenity centers, trails, pools, and common areas, and large communities like this sometimes also use a special taxing district (PID or MUD) that adds to your annual tax bill. Those costs can materially change your monthly payment, so get the current HOA dues and the full tax picture - including any PID or MUD - from Mali and the builder in writing before you sign.

Best Fit
Buyers who want a brand-new home in a big amenitized master plan and are comfortable being early in a community that is still being built. It suits families and commuters who want new construction, trails, and eventual on-site retail and schools, and who value builder choice and warranties over established trees and a settled streetscape. It is not for buyers who want to move into a finished neighborhood, walk to downtown, or find a bargain - new construction here prices above Denton's overall median, and living in an active construction zone for the first several years is part of the deal.
