Great Educational Opportunities at Harvest

October 29, 2021
Filed Under:
  • Master Planned Communities
  • Schools

If you have school-age kids, you know that education matters. You want your children to succeed, and because of that, living in a good school district is a high priority when you’re looking for a neighborhood to move into.

Many parents in North Texas focus their home search on the Fort Worth or Dallas suburbs with the best schools for this reason. But just how important are school ratings when buying a house? Let’s explore that topic further and see how great schools make Harvest by Hillwood a special master-planned community.

How Important Is School District When Buying a House?

Having great schools nearby is important to many homebuyers, even if they aren’t parents. But should buyers really make it one of their top priorities?  Studies say they should.

Local Schools Affect Homebuying Decisions

According to a 2020 report put out by the National Association of Realtors Research Group, 26% of all homebuyers consider the quality of the school district when choosing a neighborhood. When looking at specific age groups, that percentage only gets higher, peaking at 46% among buyers aged 30 to 39.

School Enrollment Can Improve Home Values

The quality of the local school district can also impact the value of your home, with one county in Texas seeing values rise 52% with increased school enrollment. The better the school, the more families it will attract, and therefore the more likely your home is to increase in value.

Quality Education in Easy Reach

The numbers are clear that quality schools are essential when it comes to choosing a place to live. That’s why Hillwood Communities makes it a point to place our communities in suburbs of Dallas with good schools.  Actually, Hillwood Communities searches for the best school districts in Texas when we are choosing sites, not just Dallas.  We have communities with great schools in the greater Austin and Houston areas, as well.

When you move into the master-planned community at Harvest by Hillwood in Argyle/Northlake, TX, you have the unique opportunity to live in one of two highly rated independent school districts – Argyle ISD or Northwest ISD. The home’s location within the community determines which district the residents are in, but both offer quality education to their students, so it’s a no-lose proposition!

Schools are so important that Harvest has partnered with these two districts to build on-site schools right within our neighborhood! Our community is now home to both Lance Thompson Elementary School (Northwest ISD) and Argyle West Elementary School (Argyle ISD). Harvest will also be the site of the new Argyle Middle School in the near future.

Having great schools in such close proximity to your home is beneficial for both you and your kids, and not just because of the quality education offered. Having the school close to home makes it easy for parents to stay involved.  Children can walk to school and develop friendships along the way, and you can cut down on time spent shuttling your kids to and from school each day. Let’s learn more about these two great school districts.
