Homes, retail and waterways weave together
Valley Ranch, a master-planned community in Irving less than 20 miles northeast of Dallas, has grown immensely beyond the 19th-century cattle ranch for which it is named. The community weaves thousands of homes and condos alongside local businesses, restaurants, acres of green space, walkable paths and man-made waterways. The community enjoys easy access to both Fort Worth and Dallas but is removed from busier areas in the metroplex to offer a more laid-back pace. “Valley Ranch has a great location, a neighborhood feel and is close to everything,” says Eva Hines, the owner of Dallas and Beyond Real Estate Group. “Our clients also love all the parks and bike trails, and also the diversity of the area.”
Many homes have pools to cool off during those Valley Ranch summer days.
In-demand homes at every price point
The many subdivisions of this master-planned community are filled with a mix of single- and two-story houses that share features like red and brown brick facades, outdoor patios, and one- or two-car garages and are connected along a series of oak tree-lined residential streets. While Valley Ranch offers a variety of home styles and sizes, all the community’s offerings are popular with buyers. “Demand is strong because inventory is still low,” Hines says. “There is not one style that is more popular because price and move-in ready condition are more important than style.” A single-family home in Valley Ranch ranges between $400,000 to $800,000 and custom-build homes can reach up to $1 million or $2 million. Valley Ranch also has other housing options, like condos that hover around $300,000.
Riverfront and canal-bordered parks
Valley Ranch is known for its greenbelts, pedestrian paths, and landscaped canals that are scenic and protect the community from flash flooding that is common in the area. One of the largest dedicated green spaces in the area is Sam Houston Trail Park, which is off Interstate 635 and bordered by the Elm Fork Trinity River. The park provides a resting spot along the 22-mile paved Campion Trail, which stretches from Valley Ranch to Las Colinas. The Valley Ranch development is also dotted with some community parks, like North Lake Ranch Park on Ranch Trail and Cimarron Park, which is just off Valley Ranch Parkway and home to sports fields, a jogging trail, a recreation center and an aquatic center.
