A closer look
The master-planned community will feature homes from nine builders, trails, park space, on-site schools and retail space, including Denton’s first H-E-B.
“We are very excited about what this community is going to be,” Hillwood's founder Ross Perot Jr. said. “It will be the best community in this part of the United States. It will be the best product we’ve done and one that we can be extraordinarily proud of.”
The community is anchored by Pilot Knob, a 900-foot-high hill that was once the highest point in North Texas, per the Texas State Historical Association.
Construction is already underway on H-E-B and Hillwood officials said model homes are slated to open in spring 2026.

When 3,200-acre community is fully built out, it will include:
- 6,000 single-family homes
- 3,000 multifamily homes
- 900 acres of commercial space
- 1,100 acres of park and open space
- 35 miles of hike and bike trails
