Introduction

If you're looking for the most compelling active adult (55+) community near Dallas, Texas, Del Webb at Legacy Hills might just be the crown jewel. In today’s post, I’ll walk you through exactly why this age-restricted community stands out in 2025—from unmatched amenities and long-term value to flexible home designs and multigenerational living potential.

1. The Three-Headed Amenity Monster

Legacy Hills isn’t just another neighborhood. It’s part of a larger, master-planned development owned by a single developer—which means intentional planning from roads to recreation.

Communal Amenities:

• Seven total amenity campuses—six of which are shared among all neighborhoods
• Splash pads, pools, and cabanas with a resort-like feel
• A 27-acre sports park, miles of walking trails, and future retail like H-E-B and Starbucks already moving in
• Seamless access to all of these shared benefits—designed for lifestyle-first living

Del Webb Exclusive Amenities:

One of those seven amenity centers is completely private to Del Webb residents, offering:

• Resort-style pool
• Private fitness center
• Full-service resident bar & grill
• Pickleball courts exclusive to Del Webb
• Full-time lifestyle director with a packed social calendar
• A 15,000-square-foot clubhouse—built for connection, recreation, and relaxation

Golf Club Access (Optional):

Although not included in the base HOA, residents have optional access to a nearby private golf club—an 18-hole championship course designed by Lee Singletary, with practice facilities, clubhouse dining, simulators, locker rooms, and even a cigar room. Joining is pay-in only, but the proximity and quality make it a unique layered benefit.

2. Affordability Meets Long-Term Value

When it comes to pricing, Del Webb at Legacy Hills offers tremendous value relative to its location and offerings.

• Base prices start around $375K
• Even fully upgraded models rarely exceed $700–750K, including quartz countertops, gourmet kitchens, full flooring upgrades, and more

Compared to Frisco or even Southwest Florida’s popular 55+ options, this neighborhood often comes in $100K–$300K less for similar homes.

Much of this affordability comes from its Celina, TX location—just 5.7 miles north of Prosper and 17 miles from Frisco. Though it feels a bit remote today, the rapid expansion of the Dallas North Tollway, new retail developments, and a revitalized downtown Celina are all signs that this area is poised for major upside.

3. Floorplan Flexibility for Every Type of Buyer

Del Webb at Legacy Hills offers 12 home designs across multiple lot widths. Each floorplan is grouped by collection and suited to specific lot sizes—ranging from 40 ft to 65 ft wide lots.

Home Collection Overview:

• Scenic Collection (Smallest): 2–3 beds, ~1,200 to 1,630 sq. ft.
• Mid-Collection (50 ft lot): 2–3 beds, 1,658 to ~2,100 sq. ft.
• Echelon Collection (Flagship): 2–3 beds, 2,200 to 2,800+ sq. ft., with 3-car garage options and 3.5 bath layouts

Whether you’re snowbirding with a smaller home, downsizing without compromise, or going all-in with one of the largest lots and joining the golf club, this neighborhood can meet a wide range of needs without compromising community feel.

4. Multigenerational Living Potential

One of the most exciting aspects of Del Webb at Legacy Hills is its multigenerational proximity. While this is a 55+ community, it sits inside a larger master-planned development that includes family-oriented communities like Pinnacle (also built by Pulte) and starter-home options from Starlight Homes, Lennar, and D.R. Horton.

This means:

• Parents can live in the 55+ section
• Adult children can buy in neighboring family neighborhoods
• Grandkids can enjoy shared amenities like the trails, sports parks, and occasionally visit Del Webb pools

It’s rare to find this level of intentional co-located development, and Legacy Hills has built it into the core of the plan. It’s not just convenient—it creates a lifestyle that fosters closeness without sacrificing independence.

Final Thoughts: Why Del Webb at Legacy Hills Stands Out

Between its expansive amenity package, resort-style exclusivity, pricing that undercuts much of the market, and its unique multigenerational design, Del Webb at Legacy Hills might be the best active adult (55+) community in all of North Dallas right now.
