Builders and Pricing at The Ridge at Northlake

The Ridge at Northlake has about 1,000 single-family home sites planned at full build-out, and the community is in its final phases of development. Taylor Morrison and David Weekley Homes are the two builders actively selling new homes as of spring 2026. Coventry Homes and Highland Homes built homes in earlier phases but are largely sold through. Lot sizes range from 50 feet to 70 feet, and home prices start in the low $500s and go past $860,000 depending on lot size and floor plan.

Here’s how the pricing breaks down.

If you want to be in Argyle ISD without paying Argyle-proper home prices, The Ridge is worth a close look.

Taylor Morrison Homes at The Ridge at Northlake

Taylor Morrison is the primary builder at The Ridge, operating across all three lot sizes. The 50-foot lots are the entry point, with the Merlot plan starting at $509,990 and floor plans ranging from about 2,279 square feet. The 60-foot lots offer more room, with homes like the Pewter plan at $559,990 (2,487 sq ft) and the Topaz plan at $647,990 (3,452 sq ft). The 70-foot lots are the premium tier, with homes from about $691,000 to $867,000 and square footage running from 3,388 to over 4,300.

Taylor Morrison’s homes at The Ridge tend to run slightly lower per square foot than David Weekley’s, particularly on the 50-foot and 60-foot lots. If your budget is in the $500,000 to $650,000 range and you want the most square footage for the money, Taylor Morrison is where you’ll find it.

David Weekley Homes at The Ridge at Northlake

David Weekley Homes builds exclusively on 60-foot lots at The Ridge, with prices currently running from about $588,000 to $773,000. Homes range from 2,490 to about 3,950 square feet. David Weekley’s design approach leans toward open floor plans with flexible living spaces, and their homes tend to include more customization options than what you’ll find with a production builder.

David Weekley is also offering financing as low as 4.99% on select homes through the end of 2026. That rate is available on both inventory homes and new builds, which makes their quick-move-in homes worth checking if your timeline is flexible.

Amenities at The Ridge at Northlake

The Ridge’s main amenity center is the Altitude Club, a four-acre facility that covers a lot more ground than the standard pool-and-clubhouse combination. The cross-training facility includes specialized equipment like a torque wall, plyo boxes, rowing machines, assault bikes, and a full power rack. There’s also a separate fitness center with cardio machines, free weights, and resistance equipment, plus a yoga and Pilates studio with an outdoor yoga lawn.

The pool area includes a resort-style pool, a lane-lap pool for fitness swimming, and a children’s splash pad. For kids, the Little Explorers Club is a mini-town play area designed as a creative play village with a supermarket, veterinary office, and fire station. There’s also an adventure play area with climbing platforms, rope walls, swing sets, and slides, plus an outdoor ninja course.

The community also has fire pit gathering areas, an event lawn, parks with walking and jogging trails, and wide sidewalks throughout. Construction on a pavilion, pickleball courts, and expanded trails began in early 2025.

Property Taxes and the MMD Overlay at The Ridge at Northlake

Every home at The Ridge carries the Northlake Municipal Management District No. 2 (MMD 2) overlay at $0.705 per $100 of assessed value. That pushes the effective property tax rate to about 2.3% to 2.5%, depending on the exact breakdown of your tax bill across the town, county, and school district layers.

On a $600,000 home at The Ridge, you’re looking at roughly $14,000 per year in property taxes before the $140,000 homestead exemption reduces the school district portion. After the exemption, the annual bill drops by about $1,600.

HOA fees vary by builder section. David Weekley’s section runs $371 per quarter, and Taylor Morrison sections are approximately $124 per month. The difference isn’t large on a monthly basis, but it’s worth confirming with your specific builder before making an offer.

The potential downside is that this MMD rate is the same as Pecan Square’s (MMD 1), so the tax cost advantage of choosing one community over the other within Northlake isn’t significant. The decision between The Ridge and Pecan Square comes down to school district preference, lot size options, and price point, not taxes.

How The Ridge at Northlake Compares to Pecan Square

The Ridge and Pecan Square are the two largest new construction communities in Northlake, and they’re the two communities buyers compare most often. The biggest difference is the school district. The Ridge is zoned for Argyle ISD (A+ on Niche), and Pecan Square is zoned for Northwest ISD (A- on Niche).

On price, Pecan Square’s entry point is lower. D.R. Horton has homes starting around $425,000 on 40-foot lots, which is about $85,000 less than The Ridge’s lowest starting price. Pecan Square also has a wider builder selection with five active builders. The Ridge had four builders across its phases, though only Taylor Morrison and David Weekley are still selling new inventory.

On amenities, Pecan Square’s Jackson Hall event space and lifestyle programming are hard to match. The Ridge’s Altitude Club is smaller but leans more heavily into fitness and outdoor recreation. Both communities have resort-style pools, splash pads, and trail systems.

Both carry similar MMD rates (about $0.705 per $100), so the tax impact is comparable at the same home price. If you’re weighing both communities, the North Texas Relocation Guide covers what to look for when comparing new construction neighborhoods side by side.
