The Most Anticipated Launch in North Texas
Hillwood Communities — the developer behind Alliance Town Center and some of the most significant projects in DFW's recent history — has brought their expertise to Celina with Ramble. This 1,380-acre community stretches from Preston Road to Custer Road, perched at the highest elevation point in Collin County, offering sweeping views across the surrounding landscape.
The first phase, which opened in May 2026 with 700 homes from premier DFW builders, sold with extraordinary momentum — confirming what many have long anticipated: Celina's northern corridor is poised for explosive growth, and Ramble sits at its epicenter.
Why This Is a Ground-Floor Opportunity
Communities backed by Hillwood carry an unmatched track record of long-term value appreciation. Buyers who enter Ramble during its opening phases are making a bet on infrastructure, builder quality, and developer reputation that history shows pays off significantly as surrounding amenities, retail, and schools come online.
The community is currently offering 40', 50', and 60' homesites in its opening phase. A full resort-style amenity package is in development, with Hillwood's signature approach to lifestyle programming expected to mirror — and potentially exceed — what they've delivered in other marquee DFW communities.

- ◆American Legend Homes — known for thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship
