Is Grand Homes still building in the Dallas area, and what does a new Grand home cost in 2026? Yes, and the answer depends a lot on the city. I went through Grand's own website on November 9, 2026. Its Dallas-Fort Worth community list shows 26 communities, from Wylie, Forney and McKinney to Celina, Parker and Frisco. Every one of them lists a price range that reaches above $500,000, and most start in the $500s, $600s or $700s.

Prices below are what Grand advertised on the day I checked. They change often and the builder sets them, so treat this as a snapshot and confirm on the community page before you plan around a number. I opened six of the community pages in full, and for the rest I am relying on the price range and school district Grand prints on its main DFW list.

What Grand Homes Is Selling Right Now

Grand lists a price range for each community and then, on the community page, plans with a starting price and sometimes specific homes. The table covers the six communities I read in full.

Source: Grand Homes community pages and its Dallas-Fort Worth community list, checked November 9, 2026. At Dominion of Pleasant Valley, one of the three listed homes carries a July 30, 2026 availability date and a different ZIP code from the other two, so confirm its status with the sales team.

Where Grand Starts Lowest

If you are looking for the lowest entry point above $500,000, the list points to a handful of communities. Park Trails in Forney has the Grand Whitehall plan from $536,900 and Edgewater-series plans from $556,900. Dominion of Pleasant Valley in Wylie lists the $540s as its starting range, and Walton Ridge in Corinth lists carriage homes in the $470s to $600s, so only the upper part of that range qualifies. Anna, Fate, Prairie Ridge and Lavon each show a range that starts in the $500s or $600s.

A few communities start below $500,000 and reach well above it, such as Trails at Cottonwood Creek in Rowlett (the $400s to the $670s) and Edgewater in Fate (the $410s to the $700s). This post is about the product at $500,000 and up, so I am not counting the homes under that line.

The Middle: $600,000 to $1 Million

Most of Grand's list sits here. Beyond the six above, Grand shows Creekside at Elevon in Lavon from the $580s, Somercrest in Midlothian from the $630s, Somerset Park and Breezy Hill in Rockwall from the $630s and $620s, Cedar Ridge in Grand Prairie from the $620s, Providence Cove in McKinney from the $690s, Chatham Reserve in Providence Village from the $600s and Buffalo Ridge in Celina from the $750s.

Ridgeline in McKinney is worth noting for one reason. Grand's page states "No PID or MUD tax!" for it. That is the builder's statement, so ask for the full tax rate in writing and verify it against the county, but it is not something every new community can say.

The Top: Over $1 Million

Parker, Frisco, Prosper and Heath carry the highest ranges. Kings Crossing and Whitestone Estates in Parker, Silverleaf Estates in Frisco and Park Place in Prosper all start at or above $1 million on Grand's list. At Kings Crossing the plans run from the Grand Maison III at $1,339,900 to the Grand Aspen XI at $1,499,900, and the model, the Hamptons, is listed at $1,739,900.

What I Saw at Grand's Wylie Model

I toured a Grand Homes model at Dominion of Pleasant Valley in Wylie in September 2025 and filmed it.

The video looks at Grand homes in the 2,000 to 4,000 square foot range. In my write-up that fall I noted about 40 lots available and nine move-in ready homes, with roughly 300 of about 350 homes already built. That was last year. Today Grand's page lists three homes, so the video is a look at how Grand builds, not a list of what is for sale now. My original notes are in what makes Grand Homes in Wylie so popular.

Bring Your Own Agent Before Your First Visit

Most DFW builders register a buyer on the first visit to the sales office, and many will not add a buyer's agent afterward. I did not find Grand's registration policy on its community pages, so ask the sales team directly, and do it before you walk in, not after. The page on why a buyer's agent matters on new construction explains how the rule works and what it can cost you.

If Grand is on your list, schedule a private consultation before your first visit to a Grand Homes community. The sales team works for the builder, while a buyer's agent works for you.

Taxes, Incentives and the Contract

None of the community pages I read named a MUD or PID, with the exception of Ridgeline's "No PID or MUD tax" line, and none showed HOA dues or lot sizes except Kings Crossing, which describes 1 to 2 acre homesites. Many North Texas communities carry one or more of these, so ask for the total tax rate and any special district assessments before you sign. My guide to MUD and PID taxes in DFW new construction covers what a seller must disclose and how to read the numbers.

The pages I opened did not state a builder incentive. Incentives change, apply to specific homes and are set by the builder, so ask what is available on the exact home you want and get it in writing. For the contract, see how to read a builder contract in DFW.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Grand Homes still building in the Dallas area?

Yes. As of November 9, 2026, Grand's Dallas-Fort Worth list shows 26 communities, from Wylie, Forney and Corinth to Celina, Parker and Frisco.

What is the lowest price for a Grand home above $500,000?

The lowest starting price I found on a plan page was $536,900 for the Grand Whitehall at Park Trails in Forney. Wylie's Dominion of Pleasant Valley lists a range starting in the $540s.

Can I buy a Grand home that is already built?

Some communities list individual homes. Park Trails shows one at $917,169 available now, and Dominion of Pleasant Valley shows two available now at $818,557 and $848,850. Most pages show plans to be built rather than finished homes, and Grand Oaks in Celina lists seven homes with a 12/31/2026 date and no prices. These counts change often.

Which school district are these communities in?

Grand names Forney ISD for Park Trails, Garland ISD for Dominion of Pleasant Valley, Prosper ISD for Grand Oaks, McKinney ISD for Ridgeline and Allen ISD for Kings Crossing. Confirm the assignment for any specific address with the district.

Should I use an agent to buy new construction from Grand Homes, and how do I choose one?

You are not required to, but it is worth thinking through. The builder's sales team represents the builder, and many builders register a buyer on the first visit, which can lock out an agent later. The right agent for new construction has walked these communities, reads builder contracts and knows the tax and design-center questions to ask. I am a licensed broker with 22 years in the business, and I tour these builders' models myself, so that is the fit Grey Square offers.

I filmed Grand's model in Dominion of Pleasant Valley in Wylie, and I have toured other DFW builders' models too, so I know what the finishes look like in person versus on the website.
