Jake Inderman toured a nearly completed Highland Homes property in The Grove featuring a 95-foot lot, approximately 4,800 square feet, six bedrooms and a four-car garage. At the time of the tour, the home was priced around $2 million.
The house itself is impressive, but the homesite is what really separates this property from much of the newer construction available throughout Frisco.
You have enough backyard space for a large pool while still maintaining grass for kids, dogs and entertaining.

Here’s what buyers should know about this Highland home and living in The Grove.

A 95-foot homesite is massive for newer construction in Frisco.
Jake has toured large homesites throughout North Texas, including approximately 86-foot lots in Star Trail in Prosper and approximately 84-foot lots in Ramble in Celina, but he describes this 95-foot Highland lot as the largest he’s personally toured outside of acreage-style properties.
That additional width gives you significantly more flexibility.
You could potentially have:
For buyers who want a luxury home without feeling like their neighbors are right on top of them, that’s a major advantage.
The home Jake toured is approximately 4,800 square feet.
It includes:
At roughly $2 million at the time of filming, this property represents the luxury end of The Grove.
The four-car garage is another feature that separates this property.
For a buyer with multiple vehicles, this provides legitimate garage capacity rather than simply extra driveway space.
But four garage bays aren’t only useful for cars.
That space could potentially accommodate:
For a nearly 4,800-square-foot six-bedroom home, having garage space proportional to the size of the house makes sense.
Jake does point out one detail he doesn’t particularly love: part of the garage configuration appears to rely on exterior access rather than having everything directly connected through the interior.
It’s a small detail, but exactly the type of thing buyers should notice before spending $2 million.
Inside, the kitchen and main living area are designed around entertaining.
The kitchen includes:
The kitchen flows into the dining and living spaces, with a separate breakfast area and sliding doors connecting the interior to the backyard.
This is the type of floor plan that makes sense for someone buying a six-bedroom home.
You’re not getting a huge bedroom count with undersized common areas.
There’s legitimate space for everyone to gather.
You can find luxury kitchens throughout North Texas.
You can find six-bedroom homes.
You can find four-car garages.
What’s much harder to find with newer construction in Frisco is this much backyard.
Jake’s biggest takeaway from the property is how much you could do with the outdoor space.
A large pool wouldn’t consume the entire yard.
That’s important.
Many buyers say they want a pool, but once a pool is installed on a smaller homesite, there’s almost no grass left.
Here, you could potentially have both.
If you’re relocating from another state and envisioning a Texas backyard with a pool, make sure you’re comparing more than the width of the lot.
You need to evaluate:
Lot width
Lot depth
Home placement
Easements
Pool setbacks
Covered patio
Sun exposure
Usable grass
On this homesite, Jake believes there’s enough room for a substantial pool while still maintaining plenty of green space.
That’s a major advantage for families with children or dogs.
The home already has a large covered outdoor area.
Jake’s biggest complaint?
It needs a fan.
During the tour, temperatures were around 98°F.
That’s a good reminder for relocation buyers.
In North Texas, outdoor living features aren’t simply about appearance.
Shade and airflow matter.
If Jake were negotiating this property, an outdoor fan is one of the items he’d want included.
He also points out that the patio could potentially be extended farther into the backyard to create an even larger covered entertaining area.
Yes, this house has five shower heads.
The primary shower includes a rain shower overhead plus two additional shower heads on each side.
Is that necessary?
Probably not.
But at this price point, buyers expect features they won’t find in a typical production home.
The primary bathroom also includes:
The primary bedroom itself has also been extended to create additional sitting space.
The primary closet provides substantial storage.
Jake does note that he preferred some of the upgraded closet finishes he’d seen in another Highland model, but those additional finishes naturally increase the cost.
That’s something buyers should remember when comparing model homes with inventory.
A floor plan can be identical while the finished product feels very different depending on how much was spent at the design center.
The home also includes a large dedicated office with tall ceilings.
For a buyer working remotely, this gives you a legitimate workspace rather than converting one of the six bedrooms into an office.
That’s particularly valuable in a large household.
You can have six bedrooms and an office instead of choosing between them.
Upstairs is another major entertainment area.
Jake highlights the game room along with a dedicated wet bar.
This could work as a:
The wet bar gives the upstairs space more independence from the main kitchen.
For a larger family, that’s practical.
The property also includes a dedicated media room.
That means you’re not sacrificing the game room to create a theater.
You can have both.
That’s one of the advantages of a nearly 4,800-square-foot home: secondary spaces don’t necessarily need to perform two or three different jobs.
One upstairs bedroom particularly stands out.
Jake describes it almost like a secondary primary suite, with a large bedroom, substantial closet and private bathroom.
This could be excellent for:
The obvious limitation for aging parents is that it’s upstairs.
If you’re specifically shopping for multigenerational living, bedroom location should be considered alongside bedroom size.
Jake also highlights that the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and large closets.
For a six-bedroom home, that’s an important detail.
The more people living in the house, the more useful private or semi-private bathrooms become.
At the $2 million price point, buyers should be evaluating these functional details rather than simply counting bedrooms.
The Grove is located in a portion of Frisco near the meeting point of Frisco, Plano, Allen and McKinney—an area Jake refers to as the “four corners.”
Location is one of the biggest reasons buyers pay a premium to live here.
You have newer construction and master-planned amenities without moving as far north as many of the large new communities in Celina.
Jake estimates Legacy West at approximately 20 minutes from The Grove, depending on traffic.
That’s important for buyers working in Plano.
When comparing a similar home in Celina, the purchase price may be lower farther north.
But your commute may be substantially longer.
For someone driving to Plano five days per week, that difference can add up to hundreds of hours per year.
Jake estimates roughly 35–40 minutes to Dallas, depending on traffic and destination.
Actual DFW commute times vary dramatically based on time of day.
If you’re relocating for work, drive your actual route during your actual commute before choosing a community.
Don’t base a home purchase on the travel time your phone shows at 11 a.m. Saturday.
One of Frisco’s biggest advantages over farther-north suburbs is convenience.
Jake describes most everyday shopping, restaurants and entertainment as being within roughly 10–20 minutes of The Grove.
He also highlights access to major Frisco destinations including PGA-related development and Universal Kids Resort.
For relocation buyers, that’s an important tradeoff.
You may spend more on your house in Frisco.
But you’re generally buying into a more established surrounding area.
At the time of Jake’s tour, The Grove’s HOA was a little over $2,500 per year.
That isn’t inexpensive.
But this isn’t an HOA collecting money simply to maintain an entrance sign.
The community offers a substantial amenity package.
Jake discusses amenities including:
The trails are paved community trails rather than off-road hiking trails, which is worth distinguishing for buyers specifically looking for nature trails.
The Grove also employs a lifestyle coordinator who organizes activities for residents.
Jake mentions examples including:
Game nights
Movie nights
Holiday events
Wine nights
This can be particularly valuable for relocation buyers.
Moving to Texas from another state means you may arrive without an established social network.
Living somewhere with regular community activities creates more natural opportunities to meet neighbors.
One of The Grove’s strongest financial advantages is its relatively low property-tax rate compared with many newer North Texas master-planned communities.
Jake reports approximately 1.66% at the time of filming.
That’s especially significant when you’re talking about a $2 million home.
A one-percentage-point difference in property taxes on a property of that value can represent roughly $20,000 per year before considering exemptions and other variables.
Jake points out that some Celina communities can have effective tax rates approaching the upper 2% range, particularly where special districts are involved.
That doesn’t mean Frisco is automatically less expensive.
The purchase price can be substantially higher.
It means you need to compare the entire monthly ownership cost.
This is particularly important when comparing The Grove with Prosper or Celina.
Suppose the Frisco home costs substantially more.
Before assuming the Celina property is automatically the better financial choice, compare:
The cheaper house isn’t necessarily the better value.
And the more expensive house isn’t necessarily worth the premium.
It depends on what you’re receiving in exchange.
Jake describes The Grove as having homes ranging from approximately $400,000 to $2 million at the time of filming.
That creates an unusually broad range within one master-planned community.
However, homes are generally grouped into sections with similar products and price points.
You don’t simply have a $400,000 property randomly sitting between two $2 million estates.
Highland occupies the larger-lot luxury segment of The Grove.
This particular property combines:
95-foot lot
Approximately 4,800 square feet
Six bedrooms
Four-car garage
Luxury kitchen
Large primary suite
Multiple entertainment spaces
You’re not simply paying for square footage.
You’re paying for the lot, location, floor plan, garage capacity and finish level.
Prosper is worth comparing if you like The Grove but want additional space or different luxury-home options.
Jake specifically mentions large lots in communities such as Star Trail.
Depending on your budget and commute, Prosper can offer a middle ground between Frisco’s convenience and Celina’s greater affordability.
However, the comparison should be property-specific.
A larger Prosper lot with a higher tax rate may produce a different monthly cost than expected.
The farther north you move, the more house you can often get for your money.
That’s one of Celina’s biggest selling points.
But Jake describes the tradeoff as:
Price vs convenience.
In Frisco, most things may be within approximately 10–20 minutes.
In Celina, depending on the community, you may drive farther for certain shopping, restaurants, entertainment or employment centers.
Neither is automatically better.
It depends on what your household values.
One downside Jake points out is that parts of The Grove still have active construction.
Depending on the homesite, you may have:
That’s normal in developing communities, but it’s something buyers should consider.
If you want a completely established street immediately, look carefully at which section you’re buying in.
95-foot lot: Extremely large for newer Frisco construction.
Huge backyard: Enough room for a pool while retaining grass.
4-car garage: Excellent for vehicles, storage or recreational equipment.
Six bedrooms: Significant flexibility for larger households.
Approximately 4,800 sq. ft.: Plenty of living and entertaining space.
Large kitchen: Six-burner cooktop, double ovens and substantial storage.
Five-head shower: Completely unnecessary and completely awesome.
Game room + media room: Separate entertainment spaces.
Dedicated office: No need to sacrifice a bedroom.
Frisco location: Convenient access to major North DFW destinations.
Price: Approximately $2 million at the time of filming.
HOA: More than $2,500 annually.
Construction: Some nearby areas are still being built.
Garage access: Jake doesn’t love the exterior-access configuration for part of the garage.
Maintenance: A 4,800-square-foot home and massive yard require upkeep.
Frisco premium: You can generally get more house for the money farther north.
This type of Highland home could make sense if you:
The 95-foot lot makes it especially appealing to buyers who refuse to compromise on outdoor space.
Consider moving farther north if your priorities are:
If you’re rarely commuting south, paying the Frisco premium may not provide enough value.
That’s why Jake recommends comparing multiple communities before deciding.
Yes. Highland Homes offers large homesites in The Grove, including the 95-foot lot Jake toured.
The home Jake toured is approximately 4,800 square feet.
It has six bedrooms.
Yes. The home includes four garage spaces, although Jake notes that part of the garage configuration has exterior access.
It was approximately $2 million at the time of Jake’s tour. Pricing and availability can change.
Jake reports approximately 1.66% at the time of filming. Buyers should verify the current rate for a specific property.
Jake reports a little over $2,500 per year at the time of filming.
Amenities discussed include three resort-style pools, pickleball, approximately 17 miles of walking and biking trails, a splash pad, fitness center, clubhouse and organized community events.
Jake estimates approximately 20 minutes depending on traffic.
For buyers wanting a large pool, substantial grass, outdoor entertaining and additional separation from neighboring homes, the extra lot width can provide significant value. Buyers who don’t use their backyard may be better off spending that money elsewhere.
This property demonstrates why some buyers are willing to pay significantly more to stay in Frisco.
You’re getting a combination that’s increasingly difficult to replicate:
95-foot lot + luxury new construction + massive backyard + four-car garage + Frisco location.
Then add The Grove’s amenities, approximately 1.66% tax rate at the time of filming and convenient access to Plano, Allen and McKinney.
Could you get more house for $2 million somewhere else in North Texas?
Absolutely.
That’s not really the question.
The question is whether you can get the combination of house, lot, location, taxes, amenities and convenience that’s most important to you.
For some buyers, moving farther north to Prosper or Celina will make far more sense.
For others, a 95-foot Highland Homes lot in The Grove is exactly why they’re willing to pay the Frisco premium.
