How to Choose the Right Lot in a New Frisco Community: A Buyer’s Guide

When building a new construction luxury home in Frisco, your lot matters as much as your floor plan. The right homesite can boost resale value, reduce noise, and enhance your daily lifestyle. Here’s how luxury buyers can strategically choose the best lot in top Frisco communities like Fields, The Grove, and Lexington Parks.

Why Lot Selection Is a Dealbreaker for Luxury Buyers

A poor lot choice can turn a dream home into a resale nightmare. In competitive communities, lot placement affects:

• Privacy and street appeal

• Resale value

• Backyard usability

• Driveway orientation and sunlight

Most builders assign premiums to desirable lots—but not all premiums are worth it. Let’s break it down.

Key Factors to Consider

1. Orientation (Sunlight & Shade)

• North-facing homes: consistent shade, cooler during summer

• South-facing homes: more natural light, warmer interiors

• East-facing: morning light, shaded backyard in evenings

• West-facing: sunset exposure, warmer interiors, bright evenings

Choose orientation based on your daily lifestyle, backyard plans, and energy use preferences.

2. Greenbelt, Corner, or Interior Lot?

Lot Type	Pros	Cons
Greenbelt	Privacy, nature view, resale appeal	Higher premiums
Corner	Curb appeal, more space	More foot traffic, higher exposure
Interior	Lower price, quieter	Less unique, smaller yards

3. Distance From Major Roads

• Avoid lots backing up to main roads or tollways—they reduce resale appeal

• Seek homes located near cul-de-sacs or with buffering fences or berms

4. Elevation & Drainage

• Elevated lots often offer better views and curb appeal

• Low-elevation lots may have water pooling or drainage issues

Request a grading map or drainage plan during your lot review.

5. Backyard Size & Usability

Ask:

• Will it fit a future pool, outdoor kitchen, or play area?

• Are there utility easements or drainage lines cutting through?

• What’s the slope like—is it flat or will it require retaining walls?

6. Community Placement

• Close to amenities = walkability, but may mean more traffic/noise

• Farther back in the neighborhood = quieter, but longer drive to exits

Ideal luxury lot is often mid-section—quiet but not isolated.
