Another homebuilder is planting a flag in North Texas<\/a>, this time in Anna, as development continues to push farther north of Dalla<\/a>s.<\/p>\n

Century Communities announced it will begin selling homes in the Anna Town Square development, with a grand opening scheduled for April 18, according to a company news release.<\/p>\n

The project is part of a broader wave of residential growth across North Texas, where smaller cities like Anna are seeing increased demand as buyers look beyond Dallas’ core for more space and relatively lower prices.<\/p>\n

Homes in the development will include single- and two-story layouts with up to four bedrooms and more than 3,000 square feet, along with amenities like a resort-style pool, clubhouse and trails, the company said.<\/p>\n

Anna, located roughly 45 miles north of downtown Dallas, has become one of several fast-growing communities drawing attention from builders and buyers alike.<\/p>\n

The development is also positioned near major employment hubs in McKinney and Frisco, offering what the company describes as a more accessible option for commuters.<\/p>\n

As Chron previously reported<\/a>, housing development across North Texas has continued to expand outward, with new communities taking shape in suburbs and smaller cities as population growth and affordability pressures reshape where people live.<\/p>\n

North Texas has remained one of the state’s most active housing markets in recent years, with developers continuing to bet on long-term demand even as conditions evolve.<\/p>\n

That growth has also come with changing expectations from buyers<\/a>, including a greater emphasis on amenities and flexible home designs.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Century Communities Division President Taylor Humphrey said the Anna project is aimed at buyers looking for those features in a fast-growing area.<\/p>\n

“We’re thrilled to join Anna Town Square, where buyers will enjoy a beautiful selection of floor plans in a great location with lifestyle-enhancing amenities,” he said.<\/p>\n
