Brookfield Residential homes in master-planned DFW communities like The Grove in Frisco and Trinity Falls in McKinney offer modern architecture, upscale designs, and efficient living. But knowing how to upgrade wisely can transform a base-level plan into a truly luxurious residence.


Brookfield Residential is becoming a go-to builder for luxury and semi-custom homes in North Texas’s top communities like The Grove in Frisco, Trinity Falls in McKinney, and new neighborhoods in Celina and Prosper.


But customization isn’t just about adding things—it’s about selecting the right features that maximize value, comfort, and resale potential.


As a certified Brookfield Residential new construction specialist, I help buyers navigate builder options, optimize budgets, and lock in critical upgrades at the right stage of the build.

Structural Upgrades to Lock in at Contract

These upgrades are foundational and must be decided early—they're hard (or costly) to add later:

  • Sliding doors or wall of windows to outdoor living

  • 3-car garage or extended garage with storage

  • Extended covered patio with fireplace

  • Media room or flex space additions

  • Upstairs balcony or second-story deck (select models only)

Pro Tip: If planning to build a pool later, have Brookfield pre-install gas lines, electrical conduit, and drainage grading.


Kitchen & Living Area Must-Haves

Brookfield's base finishes are solid—but true luxury buyers will want to push further with these:

Kitchen

  • 48” or 60” range with hood vent

  • Double ovens and microwave drawer

  • Extended island with waterfall edge

  • Walk-in pantry with custom shelving

  • Custom backsplash and lighting package

Living Areas

  • Ceilings vaulted to 14’+ with beams or shiplap

  • Wide-plank wood floors or engineered hardwood throughout first floor

  • Contemporary linear fireplace with stone or tile surround

  • Upgraded baseboards, crown molding, and trim package


Primary Suite & Bathroom Upgrades

Luxury living starts with the owner's suite. Brookfield offers flexible options worth enhancing:

  • Freestanding tub with marble or stone tile surround

  • Zero-threshold walk-in shower with frameless glass

  • Double vanity with LED mirrors and built-in cabinetry

  • Custom walk-in closet system with drawers, island, and LED lighting

  • Heated tile flooring in bathroom (selectable through design center)


Smart Technology & Energy Features

Brookfield integrates several energy-efficient features—but you can elevate further:

  • Whole-home WiFi booster and mesh system

  • EV charger in garage

  • Smart thermostats and integrated lighting scenes

  • Spray foam insulation upgrade

  • Solar-ready conduit prep for future panels


Upgrades to Consider Carefully

Avoid over-spending on features with minimal long-term payoff:

  • Overly niche design choices (like ultra-bright colored tiles or unique wallpaper)

  • Tech packages that will be outdated in 3 years

  • Cosmetic-only fireplace bump-outs or unneeded columns

Stick to timeless upgrades that align with DFW luxury buyer preferences.


Buyer Strategy Tip: Prioritize Lot Quality

A great interior means little if your home backs to a wall or busy road.

  • Pay more for greenbelt or creek-view lots

  • Ensure privacy fencing and elevation suit your lifestyle

  • Avoid lots with significant slope unless engineered for it
