Hillwood explicitly prohibits investor purchases at Landmark. You must live in your home. This means early buyers are competing against other future residents — not hedge funds or rental investors seeking bulk lot purchases. It's a meaningful community quality commitment from Hillwood.

What Is Landmark?

Landmark by Hillwood sits at I-35W and Robson Ranch Road in southwest Denton — land the Perot family has owned since 1987. Hillwood broke ground in November 2025, and Landmark's first phase is underway on 747 single-family lots with nine builders ranging from entry-level Coventry Homes and M/I Homes to luxury Toll Brothers and Drees Custom Homes. The community is built around 1,100 acres of permanently protected parkland and 35 miles of planned trails — a nature-forward identity that sets it apart from conventional DFW master-planned communities.

The signature commercial anchor: Denton's first H-E-B grocery store, under construction at the I-35W and Robson Ranch Road corner, expected to open early 2027. This alone has generated enormous local attention — H-E-B is the most desired grocery brand in Texas, and its selection of Landmark as the home of Denton's first location is a significant statement about the community's long-term commercial prospects.

Denton ISD — Guyer High School

Landmark is assigned to Denton Independent School District. The Toll Brothers section (and likely most of Phase 1) is assigned to Rayzor Elementary, Harpool Middle, and Guyer High School. Guyer HS is one of the strongest schools in Denton County — consistently rated among the top Denton ISD high schools — and is a significant draw for families relocating from the northern DFW suburbs. Always verify your specific parcel's school assignment directly with Denton ISD before purchasing, as large developments can have varying boundary assignments by section.

Phase 1 includes 747 single-family lots from nine builders. Model homes opened Spring 2026. First move-ins are targeted for Summer/Fall 2026.
Who are the builders at Landmark Denton and what are prices?
Landmark Phase 1 has nine builders across three price tiers. Entry/mid-market (high $300s–$500s on 40-foot lots): M/I Homes and Coventry Homes. Mid-market (low $400s–$600s on 50-foot lots): Tri Pointe Homes, David Weekley Homes, and American Legend Homes.

Hillwood requires owner-occupancy — no investor/rental purchases.
What school does Landmark Denton feed into?
Landmark is assigned to Denton Independent School District. The Toll Brothers section specifically feeds Rayzor Elementary, Harpool Middle, and Guyer High School. Guyer High School consistently ranks among the strongest high schools in Denton County. As phases are built, verify specific school assignments by parcel with Denton ISD before purchasing, as boundaries within a large development like Landmark may vary.
How far is Landmark Denton from Fort Worth and Dallas?
Landmark sits at I-35W and Robson Ranch Road in southwest Denton. Fort Worth (downtown) is approximately 25–30 minutes south via I-35W in normal traffic. Dallas (downtown) is approximately 40–50 minutes southeast via I-35E. The DFW Airport is approximately 25–30 minutes south via I-35E/SH-121. Alliance Texas (Fort Worth North — one of the largest inland ports in the US) is approximately 15–20 minutes south. Denton's own employment base — University of North Texas, Texas Woman's University, Medical City Denton Hospital — is within 10–15 minutes.
Can investors buy at Landmark Denton?
No. Hillwood requires owner-occupancy at Landmark — this community is explicitly designed for residents, not investment funds or rental portfolios. This is a notable differentiator: early buyers are not competing with Wall Street capital for the best lots. Buyers must commit to living in their home.
