Pecan Square Northlake: A Complete Neighborhood Guide

Pecan Square by Hillwood has quickly become one of the most talked-about communities in all of DFW. Located in Northlake, Texas, just north of Roanoke along I-35W, this 1,000+ acre master-planned development is redefining what suburban living looks like in North Texas.

The Amenities Are the Real Story

Most master-planned communities promise amenities. Pecan Square actually delivers. The community features a resort-style pool complex, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a game room with socializing space, coworking offices for remote workers, outdoor arenas, playgrounds, and multiple dog parks. But the standout feature is the full-time lifestyle manager — a dedicated person whose job is to plan events, activities, and community programming year-round.

From food truck nights to holiday festivals to fitness classes, there’s something happening in Pecan Square almost every week. Residents say it feels less like a subdivision and more like a resort you happen to live in.

Homes and Pricing

Pecan Square features homes from multiple builders, offering a range of floor plans, styles, and price points. As of early 2026, expect prices generally from the high $400Ks to $600K+ depending on lot size, builder, and finishes. Square footage typically ranges from about 1,800 to 3,500+ square feet, with options for both single-story and two-story layouts.

The community is still actively building, which means new-construction inventory is available alongside resale homes from earlier phases. This gives buyers the option of customizing a new build or moving into an established home right away.

Schools

Pecan Square is served by Northwest ISD, and the community has its own on-site elementary school — a major draw for families who want their kids walking or biking to school. Many residents also use golf carts to drop kids off, which adds to the neighborhood’s relaxed, community-first vibe. Middle and high school students feed into Medlin Middle School and Byron Nelson High School.

Location and Commute

Northlake’s position along I-35W gives Pecan Square residents a straight shot to both Fort Worth (25–30 minutes) and the Alliance area (10–15 minutes). DFW Airport is about 20 minutes east. For professionals working in the Westlake corporate corridor (Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Deloitte), the commute is under 15 minutes.

The Bottom Line

Pecan Square isn’t just another neighborhood — it’s a lifestyle. If you’re looking for new construction, top-tier amenities, great schools, and a genuine sense of community, it belongs at the top of your list.
