Cambridge Homes is at the forefront of this growth, helping to shape Van Alstyne’s future with thoughtfully designed communities that prioritize connection, quality and affordability.
“[Residents] get that breath of fresh air, while staying in close proximity to the major areas in the metroplex, making it a great spot for families who may have commutes to Mckinney, Frisco, Dallas, etc.,” marketing manager Janie Ginn said.
With a motto like Proud Past, Bright Future, Van Alstyne is the kind of community Cambridge Homes is proud to invest in: one that invests in itself.
“We look for cities that are building toward something, and that foster real connection and community,” Ginn said. “Van Alstyne has that mix of small-town warmth and forward-thinking momentum. It’s the kind of place where neighbors actually know each other, and the city creates opportunities to bring people together.”
Two neighborhoods, two unique experiences
Cambridge Homes has introduced two residential communities in Van Alstyne: Rolling Ridge and Tinsley Meadows, each with their own character and appeal.
Rolling Ridge, the builder’s first project in the area, offers affordability without compromise within their Cardinal series plans. With homes starting from the low $300,000s, the neighborhood features thoughtfully designed floor plans on generously sized lots.
Tinsley Meadows, just minutes away, provides a more upscale experience. With homes starting in the mid to high $300,000s, Tinsley Meadows features upgraded design elements in their Advantage series plans. It’s a step up in features while still maintaining accessibility, affordability and value.
Both neighborhoods offer a curated collection of home designs to suit a range of lifestyles.
“We have our one-story floor plans, which are ideal for empty nesters. They have layouts that prioritize living on the main level and minimizing maintenance, but they still feel open, airy and are full of natural lighting,” Ginn said. “For young families, we see a strong desire for our two-story plans. [Our lot sizes] are big enough for a play set, a pool or a backyard gathering, but they’re not high maintenance.”
This Goldilocks approach, offering homes that are not too big or too small, gives buyers the flexibility to find something that fits their needs perfectly.
“We always say that balance is the heart of what we do. We want to make sure there's something for everybody,” Ginn said.
Education and opportunity
One of Van Alstyne’s standout features is its A-rated public school district, Van Alstyne ISD, recognized by the Texas Education Agency. For families, it’s a significant draw.
“An A-rated school district means that students normally score above average on standardized testing,” Ginn said. “Beyond the numerical test scores, they have a lot of opportunities to get them ready for their futures, such as AP and dual credit college courses. They also have a range of specialized programs, including welding, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, cosmetology, EMT, and more.”
In addition to its career prep pathways, the district offers a supportive and safe environment with counselors, safety officers and extracurriculars that give students a well-rounded experience.
Quality without compromise
While affordability is key, Cambridge Homes ensures that every home is built with attention to detail and elevated design. All homes, whether entry-level or upgraded, are created by the same award-winning architects behind the company’s luxury properties.
The company also partners with preferred lenders to help buyers navigate financing with options such as competitive interest rates and down payment assistance.
“I feel like the most consistent thing we hear is that [residents] are amazed at how far their money goes,” Ginn said. “Rates can change, people can always refinance, but the quality of the home they buy today matters forever. They’re making a major investment, so they’ll want to do it with a builder who gets things right the first time. We’ve earned a reputation for consistent quality, and it’s not uncommon for our homes to pass inspections with zero corrections. That kind of peace of mind is hard to put a price on.”
A place to call home
As the region continues to develop, Cambridge Homes remains committed to delivering attainable, beautifully designed homes that meet residents where they are and where they’re headed.
