Pecan Square is Hillwood Communities' farm-forward master plan in Northlake — a 1,200+ acre community that merges resort-level amenities with genuine agricultural elements (a 2-acre working farm, pecan orchards, and community gardens) in a way that Light Farms introduced and Pecan Square has elevated. Zoned to Northwest ISD (A), located near the DFW Airport corridor, and priced $100K–$200K below comparable Frisco ISD communities, Pecan Square is the discovery community that DFW buyers find after they've been priced out of Prosper and Frisco.

The Farm Amenity
Pecan Square's 2-acre working farm is managed by a full-time community farmer and includes seasonal vegetable gardens, herb plots, fruit orchards, a chicken coop, honey bee apiaries, and educational programming. Residents participate in planting, harvesting, and farm-to-table dinners. The pecan orchards produce an annual harvest shared among residents.
This is not a decorative landscape feature — it is a functioning agricultural operation that defines the community's identity. For families who value sustainability, food education, and connection to where food comes from, Pecan Square's farm is the only DFW community amenity of its kind at this scale.
Northwest ISD
NWISD (A) is a strong, growing district serving 30,000+ students across the Alliance corridor, Roanoke, Trophy Club, and Haslet. The district is building new campuses to keep pace with Pecan Square's growth. NWISD is not FISD (A+) or PISD — but it is a solid A-rated district with competitive academics, strong athletics (Byron Nelson HS is NWISD), and improving facilities.
The value proposition: NWISD homes in Pecan Square cost $100K–$200K less than comparable FISD or PISD homes for similar builder quality, lot size, and amenity level. For families who prioritize value and lifestyle over ISD brand prestige, Pecan Square is the rational choice.
Location and Commute
Destination | Drive from Pecan Square |
DFW Airport | 15–20 min |
Alliance corridor (Amazon, Meta, Fidelity) | 10–15 min |
Downtown Fort Worth | 25 min |

Pecan Square's I-35W access provides excellent DFW Airport proximity (15–20 min) and Alliance corridor access (10–15 min). For airport professionals and Alliance corridor employees, Pecan Square is more convenient than any Collin County community.
