01 — THE VIBE

What Meraki feels like.

Meraki — the Greek notion of putting soul into the work — is an ambitious name for a Forney subdivision, and the community mostly earns it: more deliberate streetscapes and plan variety than the east side's volume norm, without abandoning the price discipline that makes Forney work.

Forney itself is the quiet overachiever of the eastern metro, riding US-80 straight into Dallas while its rooftops multiply. Meraki's $320s entry band slots into the city's middle — above the starter plans, below the acreage dreams — where most of its actual demand lives.

Design intent
More varied elevations and streetscapes than the corridor's volume default.
