With oversized lots, three-car garage options and convenient access to Highway 75, the community combines small-town living with commuter-friendly convenience.
“Location is probably the biggest driving point,” marketing manager Janie Ginn said. “If you’re looking for a little more land, peace and quiet, while being 15 minutes outside of McKinney, [you’ll find that in Tinsley Meadows].”
Floor plans
Tinsley Meadows offers a variety of floor plans that serve families in every stage of life. From first-time buyers to growing households to downsizers, Cambridge Homes builds with adaptability at its core.
Plans range from entry-level layouts to larger five-bedroom homes around 3,000 square feet.
Because the company is a smaller family-owned builder, it has flexibility in tailoring designs to meet buyer needs.
“We step into the shoes of families at every point of their life,” Ginn said. “Whether this is their first time buying a home, or they are experienced buyers, we are with them every step of the way.”
The design process
One of the most exciting updates for buyers is the chance to work directly with Cambridge Homes’ design center. Rather than choosing from pre-selected packages, homeowners now get to personalize their spaces, from finishes to features, making each home feel uniquely theirs.
This option has been especially popular among first-time buyers who enjoy being hands-on in the building process.
For those on tighter timelines, Cambridge Homes also offers thoughtfully curated inventory homes, blending speed with style.
Energy efficiency and smart features
Comfort and sustainability are built into every Cambridge home. Features such as high-performance insulation, low-E windows and tankless water heaters keep homes efficient and comfortable throughout Texas’ changing seasons. Smart thermostats, lighting and locks controlled from a phone add both convenience and long-term value.
“These features create a home that feels easier to live in today and is more economical to own in the future,” Ginn said.
Buyers also benefit from lower utility bills, extended equipment life and higher resale value.
Community spirit
Beyond the homes themselves, Tinsley Meadows fosters a lifestyle that blends small-town charm with modern expectations. Neighbors connect in a quiet, family-friendly atmosphere while enjoying easy access to the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
A major draw is Van Alstyne ISD, one of the top-rated school districts in the region. Families also enjoy the newly developed Eula Umphress and Robert Hynds Park, which backs directly up to the community. The park offers playgrounds, walking trails and open green space, all within steps of residents’ front doors.
A look at Rolling Ridge
Just down the road, Cambridge Homes’ Rolling Ridge neighborhood has also been a success story.
Nearly sold out, the community offers move-in-ready inventory homes on oversized lots with walking access to nearby schools. Rolling Ridge has become known for its family-focused, small-town atmosphere; proof of the quality Cambridge Homes builds into every neighborhood.
“Rolling Ridge quickly became one of our most popular and well-loved communities,” Ginn said. “We’re down to our final lots.”
The Cambridge Homes difference
As a family-owned builder, Cambridge Homes prides itself on craftsmanship, customer care and flexibility. From tailoring floor plans to offering financing incentives through its preferred lender, the company strives to make home buying a personal, supportive experience.
“Our goal for every buyer is to make it feel like they are part of the process and they’re part of the Cambridge Homes family,” Ginn said. “10-15 years from now, I hope residents look back on life in one of our communities and feel proud of the decision they made.”
