A Grand Prairie master-planned community near a variety of amenities
A master-planned community, Westchester sits at the southern edge of Grand Prairie, Texas, along the shores of Joe Pool Lake. Sandwiched between Fort Worth, Irving and Dallas, proximity to amenities and the entire metroplex is an attractive part of Westchester’s appeal. "It's a perfect location if you want to go to Downtown Fort Worth or Downtown Dallas; it's super accessible," says Tanika Donnell, Broker and Owner of TDRealty, serving the area for over 10 years. "You have all the amenities you would want in a big city, and it's growing." Twenty miles outside Dallas, the community is also 7 miles from Historic Downtown Grand Prairie and 9 miles north of the quaint Main Street charm of Downtown Cedar Hill. Beyond urban conveniences, Westchester is surrounded by outdoor recreation, top-ranked schools and is home to the city’s largest homeowners’ association that ensures the community stays tight-knit. “That's one of the best characteristics of this area,” says Donnell. “They're big on families and education, and that's drawing a lot of retailers and companies."
Homes are close together, but have decent sized lots in Westchester.

A community with 17 subdivisions with a variety of housing, styles and prices
The quiet, tree-lined community has 17 subdivisions enclosed by green spaces and cradled by a lake. Westchester is filled with ranch-style houses, traditional brick two-story homes and custom-built Craftsman-style homes. Most were built in the early 1990s. Prices range from the high-$200,000s for an 1,800-square-foot three-bedroom to the high-$600,000s for a 3,400-square-foot five-bedroom. "Compared to the northern side of town— Capel, Carrollton, Lewisville, Frisco, all of those areas — you can get a little bit more for your money,” says Donnell. “You get larger lot sizes, and your price per square foot isn't as high.” Most properties have rear garaging parking or front-facing multi-car garages and spacious paved driveways for boats or other toys. Higher-priced homes have in-ground pools, pergolas and large backyard entertaining spaces. Lot sizes are large, most averaging around 10,000 or 11,000 square feet, but some stretch over a half acre. All residents are within walking and biking distance of multiple parks, schools, convenience and grocery stores. The housing market in Westchester is relatively competitive, with many homes being sold within four to five weeks. Westchester Homeowner’s Association, which oversees maintenance and other community upkeep, is the largest of the 61 HOAs in Grand Prairie, with over 2,300 homes. Dues are voluntary. Community enhancements are also handled by the Westchester Public Improvement District (PID), a public-private partnership with the city council to maintain and upgrade public lands and areas. The gated Mariposa at Westchester is a 55-plus subdivision within the community. It features 93 one- and two-bedroom apartments, with a pool, clubhouse, a rose garden, a pet spa and a pavilion. Prices range from $544 to $2,400 a month.
From ranch to two store homes, Westchester gives buyers variety.

On the shores of Joe Pool Lake and close to a nature preserve and state park
The 20-acre Friendship Park is at the heart of Westchester and has basketball and tennis courts, a playground, a pond and shaded walking paths. One street west, Parkhill Park features soccer and football fields and 26 acres of picnic space. Freedom Park is a few blocks west and includes baseball and softball fields and pavilions to rent. On the eastern side of Westchester, Mountain Creek Soccer Complex stretches 116 acres and sits on the western edge of Mountain Creek Lake, boasting over six lit fields. Prairie Lakes Golf Course sits directly above the soccer complex on the lake. The public venue offers 18-hole and 9-hole courses and the largest practice area in Texas. Less than 2 miles north, Fish Creek – Dallas County Nature Preserve provides 37 acres of heavily wooded forest to explore and several multi-use trails. Westchester hugs the northern shore of Joe Pool Lake, a popular boating spot and place to catch largemouth bass and catfish. Cedar Hill State Park is 5 miles from the community and sits on the lake’s southern shore. The 1,800-acre park provides swimming, 350 campsites and 45 miles of hiking and cycling trails. Its DORBA Trail spans 1,200 acres and is one of the top mountain biking trails in the state. Cedar Mountain and Cedar Hill Park Reserve trails are two other popular routes that weave through the Dallas County Nature Preserve. On the northern shores of Joe Pool Lake, Lynn Creek Park covers nearly 800 acres and includes a sandy swimming beach, boat ramps and a volleyball court. The park is also a holiday favorite for “Prairie Lights,” a 2-mile-long display with 4 million lights and 500 decorations illuminating the night sky. "When you go through it, it's just a forest full of Christmas lights, so it's a big draw for families," Donnell says.
