Since the first home was sold in 2014, the development has been a home run, said Haley Gigliotti, director of multifamily at Huffines Communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve added several acquisitions, add-on purchases, to keep expanding the community because of the demands for what Inspiration brought the residents out there,\u201d Gigliotti said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The community at 1715 Inspiration Blvd. next to St. Paul, is just shy of 2,100 built homes and is working to start construction on 180 remaining lots.<\/p>\n<p>D-FW Real Estate News<\/p>\n<p class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-article-cta-social-module__3beff secondaryRoman secondaryRoman-20 text-center text-gray-dark\">Get the latest real estate news you need to know.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-article-cta-social-module__8MgJa flex flex-wrap text-gray-dark secondaryRoman secondaryRoman-10 text-center justify-center\">By signing up, you agree to our\u00a0<a class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-article-cta-social-module__lU9-l border-b border-gray-dark hover_border-0 focus_border-0 active_border-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/help\/terms-of-service\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Terms of Service<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-article-cta-social-module__lU9-l border-b border-gray-dark hover_border-0 focus_border-0 active_border-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/help\/privacy-policy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Policy.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Inspiration overlooks Lavon Lake and will eventually have about 2,200 homes. The rate at which the remaining homes sell will likely depend on interest rates, Gigliotti said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">As the community has grown, so has the range of home prices in the development. Gigliotti estimated the first home sold for about $200,000. But now the development\u2019s homes have sold for over $1 million and the average price of a home in the development is estimated at about $500,000, she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Inspiration is on a site <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/news\/2014\/06\/27\/development-in-special-taxing-district-likely-to-have-impact-on-neighboring-towns\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">outside of the jurisdictions of any city<\/a>, in an extraterritorial jurisdiction, allowing the development to set its own standards instead of following a city\u2019s code, Gigliotti said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re going to hold our residents to high quality, to keep the home values high,\u201d Gigliotti said. \u201cAnd look what we can build without a city telling us what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Within Inspiration, there is an elementary school, an amenity center, pools, parks, playgrounds and an HOA that puts on almost weekly events. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Huffines Communities also has several up-and-coming projects like <a href=\"https:\/\/solterratexas.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Solterra Texas<\/a>, a community in Mesquite. Soltera includes about 650 occupied homes and the project will continue for another five to seven years, Gigliotti said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Other projects from the company also includes <a href=\"https:\/\/horizonlakestexas.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Horizon Lakes<\/a>, close to Rockwall and Heath, and <a href=\"https:\/\/lakesongtexas.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lakesong<\/a>, a 2,700-acre development near Midlothian. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Both communities don\u2019t have homes yet, but Gigliotti said model homes will open late this year and homes will start selling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A community northwest of Dallas is close to reaching its full buildout potential and constructing its final homes.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191887,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,8111,111,23262],"class_list":{"0":"post-191886","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-dallas","9":"tag-dallas-headlines","10":"tag-dallas-news","11":"tag-new-homes","12":"tag-real-estate","13":"tag-real-estate-investment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191886\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
