Harrington Homeplace, Plano TX: Homes, Schools, HOA and Prices
 

Harrington Homeplace is a neighborhood of 125 single-family homes in west Plano, Texas, at the northeast corner of Parker Road and Ohio Drive. Homes were built largely in the late 1980s and early 1990s on lots that are generous by Plano standards, commonly around a third of an acre, with mature trees and traditional brick architecture. Active listings have recently ranged from about $935,000 to $1,540,000 for homes of roughly 3,700 to 5,400 square feet. The neighborhood is zoned to Plano ISD and has been recognized by the City of Plano's BEST Neighborhoods program.

A 125-home association run by its own residents

The Harrington Homeplace Homeowners Association is a neighborhood association governed by a volunteer board of directors, with a homeowner portal for assessments, account information and annual reports. Recent listings show dues in the range of roughly $600 to $900 a year. That is modest, and it reflects an association focused on common areas and neighborhood standards rather than a large amenity package. Before making an offer, request the current assessment, what it covers, the bylaws and deed restrictions, the reserve position and the annual report. In a self-managed association of this size, the documents tell you a great deal about how the neighborhood is actually run. Read about the Texas HOA resale certificate and what it discloses.
 

Schools: Plano ISD

Listings in Harrington Homeplace show Plano ISD with Robinson Middle School and Jasper High School, which serves ninth and tenth grade, with students moving to Plano West Senior High for eleventh and twelfth. Elementary assignment should be confirmed for the specific address, since this part of Plano sits near the edge of more than one elementary zone. That feeder differs from the west Plano neighborhoods along Midway Road, which run through Renner and Shepton, so do not assume the pattern carries across the city. Confirm all campuses with the district before you write an offer. Learn more about Plano ISD schools and compare districts with the DFW school district ratings guide.
 

What homes cost

Recent active listings have run from about $935,000 for a 3,700-square-foot home to $1,540,000 for one of about 5,400 square feet, with several in the $1.1 million range between them. That spread inside a 125-home neighborhood comes down to size, lot, and above all the extent and quality of renovation. Homes here were built within a few years of each other, so square footage alone explains very little; a comprehensively updated home and an original-condition home of the same size can sit hundreds of thousands of dollars apart. For a current read on a specific home, use the home value analysis or contact Nitin.
 

Lot size is the draw

Lots here commonly run from about a quarter acre to more than a third, which is noticeably larger than newer Plano construction at similar prices, and many homes have pools, three-car garages and mature tree cover. For buyers, that means real outdoor space and privacy; it also means more yard, more trees and more exterior surface to maintain than a newer home on a compact lot. Worth checking on any property here: tree health and proximity to the foundation, irrigation coverage, drainage and grading, fence condition and the age of pool equipment.
 

What to check on a late-1980s home

These homes are approaching forty years old, which puts every major system into replacement territory at least once. Roof, HVAC, water heaters, windows, plumbing, electrical panels and foundation performance deserve close attention, along with the age of any past renovation. Many homes here have been updated more than once, and the quality varies, so ask what was done, when, and whether permits were pulled. 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

Harrington Homeplace sits at Parker Road and Ohio Drive, a short drive from the Legacy Drive business corridor with its corporate campuses, and minutes from The Shops at Legacy and Legacy West. Haggard Park and the Downtown Plano Arts District, with its restaurants and events, are also close. The association describes roughly 25 minutes to downtown Dallas and 30 minutes to DFW International, though both vary considerably with traffic. The Dallas North Tollway and US-75 carry most commutes, so drive your own route at the hours you would travel before committing.
 

Comparing Harrington Homeplace with nearby neighborhoods

Deerfield shares the Robinson and Jasper feeder and a similar era of construction, with HOA dues that vary sharply by phase. West Plano neighborhoods such as Castlemere, Cypress Point and Creeks of Willow Bend sit in the Renner and Shepton feeder instead. Buyers who want a lower maintenance load often look at Avignon Windhaven, where the HOA maintains front yards. The trade at Harrington Homeplace is land, trees and an established neighborhood with an engaged association, against the upkeep that comes with a home of this age and lot size. See the Plano subdivision directory and the DFW communities directory.
 

Selling a home in Harrington Homeplace

With 125 homes of similar vintage, buyers compare directly and renovation quality decides outcomes. Pricing works from recent sales inside the neighborhood, adjusted for lot, updates and pool, rather than from a Plano-wide average. Given the current spread between updated and original homes here, an honest assessment of where a specific home falls on that scale is the single most important pricing decision. See the seller marketing plan and seller services, or learn about landlord leasing services if you plan to rent the home out.
