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.
Most Popular Brookfield Residential Communities
Community | Location | Typical Price Range | Lot Sizes |
The Grove | Frisco | $850K–$1.4M+ | 55', 65', 74' |
Trinity Falls | McKinney | $600K–$1M+ | 60', 70' |
Coming Soon | Celina/Prosper | TBD | TBD |
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
