When people ask us where we live, we don’t just say “Argyle” or “Northlake.” We say “Harvest.” As both residents and Realtors specializing in Hillwood communities across the Alliance Texas corridor, we see this place from both sides.
What Makes Harvest Different: The Agrihood Lifestyle
Hillwood describes Harvest as an agrihood, a community built around agriculture. At its heart sits a working farm operated by Farmer Ross, who tends community crops, teaches classes, and welcomes residents to take part in the growing season.
The Harvest Farm Experience
- Community garden plots: residents can reserve a plot to grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers.
- Educational opportunities: Farmer Ross hosts workshops on composting, seasonal planting, and sustainable gardening, and kids love them.
- Greenhouse access: the community greenhouse extends the growing season and gives residents space to start seedlings.
We didn’t expect to value this as much as we do. There’s something grounding about fresh soil and the rhythm of seasons, even in a community with resort-style amenities.
Amenities
Amenities are one of Hillwood’s strengths, and these are the ones residents use most:
- The Fit Barn: an indoor/outdoor fitness facility with an equipment room, an outdoor fitness lawn, a lap pool, and volleyball and basketball courts
- Four pools: family pools with shallow areas, lap pools, and leisure pools
- Central Park: a 1.5-mile greenway through the community, with trails, playgrounds, sports courts, and open space
- Farmhouse Coffee & Treasures: a converted farmhouse that’s become a neighborhood gathering place
- Event spaces and a dog park: including The Back Porch, The Hall, The Front Porch, and the Event Lawn
The Lifestyle Program
The amenities are impressive, but the lifestyle program is what creates community. Hillwood employs a full-time Lifestyle Manager who hosts hundreds of events a year, including seasonal festivals, hobby groups, kids’ and teen events, fitness classes, craft and cooking workshops, garage sales, and holiday celebrations.
As working parents, we appreciate that there’s always something happening. Our daughters have made friends through community events, and we’ve gotten to know neighbors at festivals.
Schools
Depending on where your home is in Harvest, your children attend Argyle ISD or Northwest ISD, and three elementary schools sit within the community:
- Argyle West Elementary (Argyle ISD)
- Jane Ruestmann Elementary (Argyle ISD)
- Lance Thompson Elementary (Northwest ISD)
Hillwood describes Argyle ISD as ranked in the top 1% of Texas districts. Zoning is by address, so confirm with the district before you buy. School quality is often the first factor families name, and we help them compare the two districts for their situation.
New Construction and Resale
Harvest is well into its build-out. Some builders have closed out their sections, a few have inventory homes left, and availability changes weekly. Builders at Harvest have included CB JENI Lifestyle Homes, Coventry Homes, David Weekley Homes, Drees Custom Homes, Highland Homes, Taylor Morrison, Toll Brothers, and Tri Pointe Homes, though who’s still selling varies.
Lot sizes run from 31-foot cottage lots to 50', 60', 70', 80', and 100' lots, plus Townside Patio Homes with front yard maintenance included. For current prices and inventory, call us. Specifics change too fast to print here.
Your two paths:
- New construction: choose from remaining lots and inventory, customize selections, and negotiate builder incentives while they last.
- Resale: established landscaping, mature trees, and the ability to see exactly what you’re buying. Competition can be strong for well-priced homes.
Resale takes local knowledge. School zoning differs by section, the original builder can affect resale, and different lot sizes and locations compare differently. We can’t promise appreciation here or anywhere, but a well-priced home in a strong location, represented by someone who knows Harvest, tends to do better than one that isn’t.
Harvest Town Center: Shopping and Dining at Your Doorstep
Harvest Town Center, at the northwest corner of I-35W and FM 407, is the community’s retail center. It’s being built in two phases totaling 138,000 square feet:
- Tom Thumb: open since March 6, 2026, with an in-store Starbucks, a pharmacy with a drive-thru, and curbside pickup
- Chuy’s Tex-Mex: open
- McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A, and Chase Bank: open
- Phase 2: no tenants announced yet
See our Harvest Town Center guide.
Harvest House: Luxury Multifamily Living
Hillwood Multifamily’s Harvest House, at the northeast corner of I-35W and FM 407, is a 349-unit community with 259 apartments and 90 townhomes with private yards. It’s the first luxury multifamily community within Argyle ISD, it’s now leasing, and Hillwood expects full completion in late 2026. Hillwood describes it as within walking distance of Harvest Town Center.
Location and Taxes
Harvest sits at I-35W and FM 407, in the heart of the Alliance Texas corridor. AllianceTexas is home to 602 companies and 73,134 direct jobs, and DFW Airport, Alliance Town Center, Roanoke, and Highland Village are all nearby. Drive your real route at your real hours to see how your commute works.
One local detail for Northlake-side homeowners: Residential property in Belmont Fresh Water Supply District No. 1, Northlake’s part of Harvest, is excluded from Northlake’s new Municipal Development District. See our MDD guide.
Living in Harvest: The Real Experience
Weekend mornings often start with coffee at Farmhouse Coffee, where we run into neighbors. The kids might have a soccer game, or we’ll take a family bike ride through Central Park.
Weekday evenings mean walking the dog through the neighborhood or letting the kids play at one of the playgrounds while parents chat.
Community events genuinely bring people together: the fall festival, summer concerts, and holiday celebrations are well attended.
The variety of people keeps things interesting: young families, established professionals, empty nesters, and people relocating from across the country.
Why We Chose Harvest
We could have lived anywhere in the corridor. We chose Harvest because of Hillwood’s long-term planning, amenities designed around how people live, and a lifestyle program that turns neighbors into friends. We also believe in being straight with buyers: Harvest isn’t for everyone, construction is still happening nearby, and no community guarantees appreciation.
