Deerfield, Plano TX: Homes, Schools, HOA by Phase and Prices

Deerfield is a large established neighborhood in north Plano, Texas, in the 75024 ZIP code, built in phases from the mid 1980s through the late 1990s. It is home to roughly 3,000 residents across multiple additions, including Deerfield Addition Phases Two through Six and Deerfield West, with homes generally from about 3,100 to more than 4,200 square feet on lots of roughly a fifth to a third of an acre.

The HOA is not one number here, and the difference is large

Deerfield was built in phases, and the associations differ by phase in a way that catches buyers off guard. MLS records show homes in one of the earlier additions carrying mandatory dues of about $66 a year, while homes in Phase Six and Deerfield West carry dues of about $820 a year, with the assessment covering grounds maintenance and security. Some sections are gated with round-the-clock security; others are not. That is more than a twelve-fold difference in annual dues inside the same neighborhood name, and it reflects genuinely different levels of service. Before you compare two Deerfield homes on price, confirm which addition and phase each sits in, what its association covers, whether that section is gated, and what the current assessment is. Read about the Texas HOA resale certificate and what it discloses.
 

Schools: Plano ISD

MLS records for Deerfield homes show Plano ISD with Haun Elementary, Robinson Middle School, Jasper High School for ninth and tenth grade and Plano West Senior High for eleventh and twelfth, with Beaty Early Childhood School serving pre-kindergarten. Note that this is a different feeder from the west Plano neighborhoods along Midway Road, which run through Renner and Shepton. Several homes in Deerfield sit within walking distance of Haun Elementary. Confirm the current assignment for the specific address with the district before you write an offer, since Plano ISD adjusts boundaries. Learn more about Plano ISD schools and compare districts with the DFW school district ratings guide.
 

The homes and what they cost

Homes date from about 1987 in the early phases to 1999 in the later ones, which means a twelve-year spread in construction, floor plans and systems inside one neighborhood.

Annual property taxes on homes here have run in the $12,000 to $15,000 range. For a current read on a specific home, use the home value analysis or contact Nitin.
 

What to check before you buy

With homes ranging from roughly twenty-five to forty years old, the age of the major systems varies considerably from one phase to the next. Roof, HVAC, water heaters, windows, foundation performance and pool equipment deserve attention, along with the age and quality of any past renovation, which is usually where the price difference between two similar Deerfield homes comes from. Many homes here have mature trees, which are an asset and also a maintenance and drainage consideration. The seller's disclosure covers only what the seller knows, so the inspection period is where the real information comes from. Learn about the Texas option period.
 

Location

Deerfield sits in north Plano minutes from Legacy West, The Shops at Legacy and the Legacy employment corridor, with Grandscape in The Colony across the tollway and Stonebriar Centre in Frisco a short drive north. Preston Road, the Dallas North Tollway and SH 121 carry most commutes, and all three vary considerably by hour, so drive your own route at the times you would travel before committing.
 

Comparing Deerfield with nearby neighborhoods

Deerfield's combination of size, mature trees and established community events draws buyers who also look at Avignon Windhaven nearby for lock-and-leave living, and at west Plano neighborhoods such as Castlemere, Cypress Point and Creeks of Willow Bend, which sit in a different school feeder. Buyers open to newer construction often compare Frisco. The trade at Deerfield is an established neighborhood with real community life and lower dues in some phases, against newer layouts elsewhere. See the Plano subdivision directory and the DFW communities directory.
 

Selling a home in Deerfield

Because the neighborhood spans multiple phases with different home ages, sizes and HOA structures, pricing works best against sales in the same addition rather than a Deerfield-wide average. Buyers will ask which phase a home sits in, whether the section is gated and what the dues cover, so have those answers ready. Condition and renovation quality carry most of the price difference between otherwise similar homes. See the seller marketing plan and seller services, or learn about landlord leasing services if you plan to rent the home out.
