Heritage Ranch
Fairview's gated 55+ golf community: 1,144 homes, an Arthur Hills course, and a 24,000-sq-ft clubhouse
Heritage Ranch is a gated, age-restricted (55+) active-adult golf community of 1,144 single-family homes and attached villas on roughly 575 acres of rolling terrain, woods and ponds in Fairview. Its center is a 24,000-square-foot clubhouse wrapped around an 18-hole, par-72 championship course designed by Arthur Hills. The community was built out between 2000 and 2007 by K. Hovnanian, Lennar and US Home, so homes today trade almost entirely on the resale market rather than from a builder. This one community is a large part of why a small Collin County town has a median age near 49 and roughly 30% of residents aged 65 or older.
Price Range
Broadly ~$300K – $600K on resale, with most sales clustering in the low-to-mid $400Ks in recent months. This is an approximate band from public listing sites, not a certified median. Price varies with square footage, upgrades, lot, and proximity to the golf course. Ask for current comps before pricing an offer.
Property Types
Single-family homes (55+ / age-restricted), Attached villas with HOA-maintained yards, Golf-course and pond-view homes
Year Built
2000–2007
HOA: HOA dues cover access to the amenities and, for villas, front-yard maintenance; the club also carries a required monthly food-and-beverage minimum per lot. Confirm the current dues, transfer fees, and any golf/social membership costs in writing before closing, as they change over time.
Schools
Fairview is split between Lovejoy ISD (most of the town) and McKinney ISD (the western side and a small northeast pocket); Heritage Ranch sits in the Lovejoy ISD portion. Because Heritage Ranch is an age-restricted 55+ community under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act, school assignment is rarely a decision factor for its buyers. Confirm the district and campus for any specific address with the districts directly.
Commute & Access
~10 min to US-75 (Central Expressway) via McKinney/Allen · ~15 min to McKinney and Allen retail · ~35 min to North Dallas. FM 1378 (Country Club Road) is the main arterial. Drive times are approximate; there is no rail service.
