Wondering what’s truly “new” in Roanoke’s Fairway Ranch and Briarwyck right now? You’re not alone. With some builder pages showing sold out notices and resale listings popping up, it can feel hard to tell what’s available and where to focus. In this guide, you’ll get a clear snapshot of the pipeline, realistic price bands, schools, permits, taxes, and a simple plan to move forward with confidence. Let’s dive in.
Fairway Ranch at a glance
Fairway Ranch is a master‑planned community on Roanoke’s southern edge with parks, trails, greenbelts, lakes and an on‑site elementary campus. The development was launched by Wilbow Corporation and built across multiple phases with several respected builders. You can review the master‑plan background and amenities on the developer’s Fairway Ranch project page and early coverage from Texas A&M’s Real Estate Research Center.
Several builder sub‑neighborhoods have shown phase‑specific lot widths and product lines. Examples include 65‑foot and 75‑foot sections as seen on archived community pages like NewHomeSource’s product snapshot. Amenities commonly highlighted include a community clubhouse, pools, trails and greenbelts.
Briarwyck snapshot
Briarwyck, sometimes labeled Briarwyck Estates in MLS, is an established Roanoke subdivision with most homes built in the 2010s. Current activity is primarily resales and rentals rather than new greenfield lots. Neighborhood features often include community pools, playgrounds, parks, trails and greenbelts. HOA structures and dues vary by phase.
New‑build pipeline: what’s available now
Public builder pages and aggregators indicate some Fairway Ranch sub‑phases are complete or marked sold out. That said, spec homes, remaining builder lots and resales continue to surface. For phase‑by‑phase availability, check current indicators on Livabl’s community overview and call individual builder sales offices for real‑time lot maps and incentives. For the master‑plan perspective, confirm status directly with Wilbow’s team.
In Briarwyck, think established inventory. If any infill occurs, it is typically limited and handled locally through the HOA or builder. Most options will be resale homes.
Pricing and value signals
Based on recent MLS snapshots in 2024–2025:
- Fairway Ranch resale and builder inventory often trades from the mid‑$500s to the mid‑$800s, with higher prices tied to lot premiums, size and finishes.
- Briarwyck resales commonly appear from the $600s to the $800s for larger, upgraded homes.
Use these as broad bands. Final pricing will depend on lot type, elevation, recent upgrades and nearby competition from any remaining builder inventory.
Schools and zoning basics
Most addresses in both neighborhoods are within Northwest ISD. Listings frequently cite Wayne A. Cox Elementary as the on‑site elementary serving the Fairway Ranch area. You can learn more about the campus on the district’s Cox Elementary page. Always verify the specific home’s attendance zones using the district’s boundary tools.
Permits and build timeline in Roanoke
If you contract on a true new build, the City of Roanoke’s Development Services oversees plan review, permits and inspections. The city lists adopted 2021 International Codes and the 2023 National Electrical Code. Start with the Development Services overview and the Building Inspection page for process details.
Typical steps:
- Submit plans to the city for review.
- Obtain permits once plans are approved.
- Construction proceeds with scheduled inspections.
Build times vary by builder, lot improvements and weather. A broad national range for tract/spec single‑family homes is roughly 6 to 12 months from permit to close. Confirm current lead times with the specific builder.
HOAs, taxes and cost of ownership
Both neighborhoods have active HOAs, often phase‑specific. Dues and rules vary by section and amenity package, so review the CC&Rs, design standards and fee schedule before you commit.
For taxes, combine city, county, school district and any special districts to estimate the total rate. Roanoke’s 2025 city rate in Denton County is listed as 0.326182. See Denton County’s truth‑in‑taxation tables and the appraisal district for property‑specific figures. Your actual bill will depend on assessed value and exemptions.
Commute and regional access
Roanoke offers convenient access to SH‑114, Alliance, Westlake and Southlake retail and employment. Driving distance to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is commonly around 15 to 18 miles, or roughly 20 to 25 minutes depending on traffic.
