Quiet new construction a quarter mile from I-35E in Corinth — three builders from the mid $300s, about 1.97% after homestead with no MUD or PID, and a roughly $700-a-year HOA.
My tour of Oak Ridge Park
Quiet new construction a quarter mile from I-35E — and you can’t hear the highway. Oak Ridge Park sits right off 35E in Corinth, between Lake Sharon and Swisher Road.

Three builders, three price points
Before you click through or walk into any of these — tell me first. Registering yourself with a builder is how you lose the representation they would otherwise have paid for. Here’s why.
- Meritage Homes — the entry point, from the mid $300s.
- HistoryMaker Homes — building across the 50’ and 60’ homesites.
- Windsor Homes — brick-and-stone plans, including a 3-car garage option.
Same entrance, very different price bands — know which builder a move-in belongs to before you compare it to anything.
What’s on the ground
Lit, paved walking trails and a playground. Some of the cottage-style homes face a tree-lined green space — great front-porch sitting. And the rear-entry alleys are as wide as a regular street, so no tight squeezes getting into the garage.
No pool, no resort amenity center. That’s the trade, and it’s why the HOA is so low.
The tax angle
About 1.97% after homestead, with no MUD and no PID — lower than most new construction around here. On a $450,000 home that’s roughly $8,865 a year, or $739 a month. Get your homestead filed, and compare it with the district-heavy communities on the MUD & PID breakdown. Confirm the total for your specific lot in writing before you sign.
Location wins
- Minutes to I-35E, Swisher, FM 2499 and the Lewisville Lake Toll Bridge
- Groceries and the new Swisher Road development a few minutes away
- Close to Lewisville Lake for boating, fishing and camping
- The Commons at Agora — splash pad, concerts, movie nights and food trucks year-round. My family’s been in Corinth since 2008, and we’re there all the time.
Quiet, low HOA, great location. Not all the bells and whistles, but a lot to love.
