Wildflower Ranch

A lazy river in your own neighborhood — that’s the pitch, and it’s a real one. Wildflower Ranch sits off Highway 114 just west of FM 156, right on the Justin / North Fort Worth line in Denton County, a couple of miles from Treeline. It’s a Starwood Land community, the same developer that took over Furst Ranch in 2025.

On those schools: Northwest ISD redraws lines as new campuses open. If the assignment matters to you, confirm it with the district for your specific address.

The builders

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.

The community lists thirteen: Ashton Woods, Beazer, Bloomfield, Coventry, DRB, D.R. Horton, Highland, Mattamy, Risland, Rockwell, Toll Brothers, UnionMain, and William Ryan. That’s the widest lineup of any community on this site, which is exactly why “we’re looking at Wildflower Ranch” doesn’t narrow anything down. Pick your price band and lot width first, then the builder.

What the HOA is paying for

At about $825 a year, the HOA here runs well under half of Treeline’s — and you still get:

• A resort-style lazy river and pool, with an open-air pavilion.
• Four-plus miles of trails along Harriet Creek.
• A clubhouse, a general store, and an event lawn.
• Playgrounds, a dog park, and actual wildflower fields.
• A lifestyle coordinator who plans community events.

Getting around

Alliance, Texas Motor Speedway, and the Tanger Outlets are all close, and it’s a quick drive to Fort Worth.

The tax rate, in dollars

Three entities stack on a home here, per the community’s published 2025 estimate:

Entity	Rate
Northwest ISD	1.084100%
Fort Worth MUD	1.000000%
Denton County	0.188075%
Total	2.272175%

What that means before exemptions:

Home price	Per year	Per month
$400,000	$9,089	$757
$500,000	$11,361	$947
$700,000	$15,905	$1,325

The MUD is 44% of the bill — about $417 a month on a $500,000 home. Like Sandbrock Ranch, there’s no city line in the stack, so the total lands lower than Landmark or Pecan Square even with a bigger district share. Here’s how MUD taxes work, with the other communities side by side.

These are 2025 figures and every entity resets yearly — get the total for your specific section in writing before you sign. And once you own here: protest your appraisal every year. On a 2.3% rate, it adds up fast.

Before you go

Thirteen builders don’t release on the same schedule, and sections open and close constantly. The first-visit registration rule applies here like anywhere — tell me before you go, not after.
