Ten miles south of Denton and equidistant from Dallas and Fort Worth, Lantana is a turn-of-the-century master-planned community that's won the People's Choice Award for Community of the Year at the Dallas Homebuilders Association McSam Awards four times. Development began in 1999, and its first residents moved in in 2001 – today, it's a roughly 10,000-person community. It's centered around the Lantana Golf Club, a private club where memberships help Lantana residents get to know their community. "It's family-friendly and has a lot of amenities," says Argyle-based Realtor Naomi Jones. "There are miles of trails. There are five pools, two splash pads, a basketball court and a tennis court."

New traditional homes and Texas-sized estates
Built at the turn of the 21st century, Lantana has primarily single-family traditional-style housing, but the area's development hasn't stopped. Large lot sizes outside the boundaries of the original planned community pave the way for Texas-sized estates, with many buyers taking advantage of the opportunity to build their dream property. In Lantana, there are two tiers of pricing: the original homes, spacious in their own right but more densely packed, typically list for between $400,000 and $700,000, and larger homes in Copper Canyon, Double Oak and Taylor Oak generally sell for upwards of that, often in the millions. Acre-plus lot sizes and sprawling square footages set the price for these homes, but some prefer to be in the original section of the community, closer to parks and other amenities.
