Introduction: Why Plan 272 Is Getting Attention
If you’re in the market for a new home in the Prosper / DFW area, Plan 272 by Highland Homes in StarView is worth a serious look. This model home tour showcases what’s possible in a modern build: thoughtfully designed layout, lifestyle-oriented features, and a location that gives both peace and access. Below I break down what makes Plan 272 special, what you’ll want to verify, and how it stacks up if you’re buying a home for the first time (or even just upgrading).

What Stands Out in Plan 272
From the walkthrough, here are the features that make this home appealing, especially for buyers looking for good value and livability:
Modern Layout / Flow: Plan 272 appears to balance open-concept common areas with well-defined private spaces. The kitchen, living, and dining areas flow together, which is excellent for entertaining and everyday living.
High-Quality Finishes: The model shows designer touches: cabinetry, trim, hardware, flooring, and lighting that feel upgraded and more premium than the bare minimum—these influence both comfort now and resale.
Spaciousness: Plan 272 seems to deliver generous square footage, smartly laid out so you’re getting useful space—not just large rooms but usable. Bedrooms, closets, and garage space seem well planned.
Community & Location Perks: StarView in Prosper provides the dual benefit of suburban calm with proximity to major routes, amenities, schools, shopping. Location is a big part of what makes this plan attractive.
What Buyers Should Confirm & Ask About
Even with a great video tour, you’ll want to dig into details so nothing is left to surprises. Here’s a checklist based on what buyers commonly overlook:
What features are included vs. upgradesThe video likely shows upgraded finishes. Ask Highland Homes: what comes as standard in Plan 272, and which options cost extra.
Lot specificsGet lot orientation (which direction the front/back faces), slope, shade, proximity to road / busy traffic, and privacy from neighbors. Where the lot sits can influence comfort, energy bills, sun exposure.
HVAC / Energy & Utility SystemsInquire about insulation levels, window types, HVAC efficiency ratings, and estimated utility costs. Newer builds may offer better efficiencies, but you’ll want verified numbers.
Homeowners Association (HOA) & Community RulesWhat are the HOA fees, what are the exterior design restrictions (structure, paint, landscaping, fencing)? These shape both what you can do and what recurring costs you'll have.
Warranty & Builder SupportFind out the warranty terms Highland Homes offers (structure, systems, workmanship). Also learn how they handle post-move punch lists or defects: response times, what’s covered.
Total Cost of OwnershipBeyond mortgage: taxes, insurance, utilities, landscaping care, and regular maintenance. Sometimes upgrades or lot premiums add up more than expected.
Who Plan 272 Is Likely Best For
Based on what I’ve seen and what many buyers in this area tend to value, Plan 272 makes sense for:
First-time home buyers wanting modern features without compromising layout or often-skipped “nice things.”
Families who want good space with functional room layout (bedrooms, closets, garage space).
Buyers who want value with location: closeness to schools, amenities, but also quieter residential community.
Those who prefer move-in ready finish levels (or near ready) vs doing major upgrades themselves soon.
How I Help Buyers Decide Smart
Here’s what I do when working with clients interested in homes like Plan 272 so you’re choosing with confidence:
I pull up comparable homes / plans in StarView and nearby developments so you can see what features, square feet, and finishes cost across the area.
I help evaluate lots: which ones maximize value (orientation, privacy, shade, view) and which may lead to higher utility or maintenance costs.
I walk you through what upgrades are most likely to add value vs those that may look good but won’t pay off in resale.
I help map out all costs (mortgage + taxes + insurance + utilities + HOA + maintenance) so your monthly budget doesn’t get a surprise.
Final Thoughts
