The master plan that put its park on a hill
Union Park sits on the US 380 corridor at Little Elm's northern edge, and it was designed around a simple idea: put the good stuff in the middle and let the neighborhood grow out from it. The hilltop amenity village and the big central park anchor daily life here — morning walks, evening ball games, kids looping the trails on bikes — while the 380 corridor keeps groceries, gyms, and tacos a short drive away.
The crowd skews young — families chasing yard space, plus commuters who ran the numbers against Frisco and kept driving. Legacy West in Plano runs about 22 minutes, DFW Airport about 32, so the big North Texas job centers stay in reach. Weekends tend to happen inside the neighborhood: the park fills up, the amenity village hums, and nobody's in a hurry to leave.
Master plans open in phases, and early sections often sit closest to the amenity core while later phases trade proximity for newer product. Walk the community map with your agent and ask each builder which sections release next before committing.
Greenbelt, park-facing, and cul-de-sac homesites usually carry lot premiums, and corner lots can cut both ways on yard usability. Decide what you'll actually use — a view, extra backyard, no rear neighbor — and spend your premium there rather than on the flashiest map pin.
The advertised base price rarely matches the model home you toured. Set a design-center budget before your appointment, get the included-features list in writing, and prioritize structural options — extra bedrooms, extended patios — over finishes you can upgrade later.
We’ll help you compare builder offers, available inventory, and the questions worth asking before you visit the models.
