| Robson Ranch is an
age-restricted, gated community located just outside of
Denton, Texas (population 82,000 people and home to the
University of North Texas), 35 miles north of Dallas/Fort
Worth, and offers lovely homes in a quiet setting on the
outskirts of a large metropolitan center. This
builder has four other developments in Arizona and has been
in the retirement community business for 33 years. |

Spread over 2,700 acres, an eventual
6,000 single-family homes are planned here. Building is still
in the early stages, so there are not many re-sale homes available
yet. Residents have a variety of model homes (19 in all) from
which to choose, and once a floor plan is selected, home completion
can take eight to nine months.
The least expensive model home, priced at $176,000, is the Troon,
with 1,284 square feet, 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. Just slightly
more expensive is the Augusta, which has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a den
and 1,434 square feet for $199,000. In the middle range,
the Trova has 2,360 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths for
$246,000. |

At the high end of the scale, for $333,900, is the
Marbella with 2 stories, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a den, a 3 car garage
and 3,408 square feet Most of the these homes have a
choice of exteriors as well. Call 940-246-2000 for
information. Country club amenities are a
drawing card for many seniors who come to Robson Ranch.
Wildhorse Golf Club features an 18 hole, 6,892 yards, par-72,
championship golf course designed by Gary Stephenson. It is
only the first of three courses planned. The community
also has a new fitness center and sports club that offers tennis,
saunas, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a gym, a restaurant and
lounge and a planned technology center. Walking and
biking paths wind throughout the development and provide a tranquil
way to relax and stay in shape. The town of Denton
dates from 1846 and was once on the northeastern edge of the Texas
frontier, surrounded by open prairie and cattle ranches.
Today it offers shopping (five malls with two more planned) and
dining, although for more variety, Dallas and Fort Worth are not far
away. The University of North Texas (student population
of 28,000) sponsors events, including concerts, recitals and
lectures. There are five lakes within just a few miles of
Denton, and for professional sports' fans, the Dallas/Fort Worth
Metroplex is home to the Dallas Cowboys, the Dallas Mavericks and
the Dallas Stars. Three health centers,
the expanding Denton Regional Medical Center, the Denton Community
Hospital and the new Presbyterian Hospital of Denton, ensure quality
medical care. More extensive health care is available in
Dallas. The weather in this area could be a drawback
for some. Summer daytime temperatures can reach into the
90s with 80% humidity. Winter daytime temperatures average in
the 40s and 50s, and the area can see some snow
occasionally. Precipitation averages between 2 and
5 inches of rain per month. Denton crime statistics
meet the national average. |
