Modern new construction homes in Canyon Creek Estates, Sherman Texas with stone and brick exteriors and manicured lawns

Sherman, Texas continues to grow as one of the best new construction markets in Northeast Texas, and Canyon Creek Estates by Highland Homes is one of the most compelling communities in Grayson County right now. Here is everything buyers should know before they visit.

Where is Canyon Creek Estates?

Canyon Creek Estates is located at 2711 Fawnwood Court in Sherman, TX 75092. The community is situated in the southern portion of Sherman, placing it close to US Highway 75 and within easy reach of DFW for commuters and weekend travelers. Sherman itself is the county seat of Grayson County and one of the fastest-growing cities in Northeast Texas, thanks to its combination of quality schools, strong local economy, and access to Lake Texoma.

The community sits near Pecan Grove West Park, which offers playgrounds and disc golf, and Lake Texoma is a short drive north for boating, fishing, and weekend recreation. Residents enjoy a quiet suburban setting with convenient access to Sherman's shopping, dining, and medical facilities.

The builder: Highland Homes

Highland Homes is a well-respected Texas builder known for quality construction and well-designed floor plans. They have a strong presence across the DFW metroplex and into the Sherman-Denison area, with communities like Canyon Creek Estates, Heritage Ranch, Gateway Village, and Mantua Point. Highland Homes delivers energy-efficient construction, modern open-concept layouts, and the kind of fit and finish that holds up over time.

One thing we appreciate about Highland Homes is the consistency they bring. Their floor plans are tested and refined. Their warranty program is structured and responsive. And their communities tend to hold value well because the builder invests in common areas and amenities that make the neighborhood feel established from the start.

Floor plans and pricing

Canyon Creek Estates offers at least 11 floor plans ranging from approximately 2,602 to 3,785 square feet. Pricing starts in the $560s and reaches into the mid-to-high $700s depending on the plan, lot, and upgrades. Quick move-in homes can reach higher with premium options and finishes.

Homes feature 3 to 5 bedrooms, 3 to 4.5 bathrooms, and sit on oversized lots (88-foot and 95-foot widths). The larger lots are a standout feature compared to many newer communities where lot sizes have been shrinking. More lot means more room between neighbors, more outdoor space, and better long-term value.

Notable floor plans include:

Canterbury G (single-story, from $564K): A spacious one-story plan ideal for those who want everything on one level. Open living areas, a well-appointed kitchen, and a primary suite with generous closet space.

Stanley G (two-story, from $663K): A two-story design with formal and casual living spaces. Upstairs bonus room and secondary bedrooms give families separation and flexibility.

Telford G (two-story, from $717K): One of the larger plans, with expansive living areas, a study, and a game room. Designed for buyers who need both space and style.

Foxleigh G (from $665K): A balanced two-story plan with a modern layout, covered outdoor living, and flex space that works as a home office or playroom.

Birchwood G: A popular plan with an open kitchen and family room configuration that flows naturally. The primary suite is positioned for privacy from secondary bedrooms.

Community amenities

Canyon Creek Estates includes a swimming pool, clubhouse, greenbelt spaces, and open common areas. These amenities make it easy to connect with neighbors and enjoy the outdoors without leaving the neighborhood. The clubhouse can be used for gatherings and events, and the pool is a welcome feature during the hot Northeast Texas summers.

The community is also close to Pecan Grove West Park, which adds two playgrounds and a disc golf course to your recreational options.

Schools

Canyon Creek Estates is served by the Sherman Independent School District. Sherman ISD has invested heavily in facilities and programming in recent years, with schools that serve the community well. For specific school assignments, we always recommend confirming with the district directly since boundaries can shift as the area grows.

What makes Canyon Creek Estates unique?

A few things set this community apart from other new construction options in the Sherman area:

Oversized lots. At 88 to 95 feet wide, these lots are meaningfully larger than what you will find in many newer communities. If side yards, outdoor space, and breathing room matter to you, this is a significant advantage.

Highland Homes quality. Not all production builders deliver the same level of fit and finish. Highland Homes has a reputation for consistent construction quality, thoughtful floor plans, and responsive warranty service. That matters when you are making a five or six-figure investment.

Sherman's growth trajectory. Sherman is growing for good reasons. TI is building a massive semiconductor plant nearby. The city is investing in infrastructure. Lake Texoma continues to draw residents and visitors. Buying here now means getting in ahead of the next wave of appreciation.

Current incentives. As of this writing, Highland Homes is offering $20,000 toward closing costs on select homes at Canyon Creek Estates. That is real money that can go toward your rate buydown, prepaids, or upgrades. Incentives change, so we always verify what is available before you make your decision.

Why representation matters at Canyon Creek Estates

The sales team at the Canyon Creek Estates model home represents Highland Homes. Their job is to sell the builder's homes at the best possible terms for the builder. Your job, and ours as your buyer's agents, is to make sure you understand every detail of the contract and that your interests are fully protected.

In most new construction communities, including this one, the first visit matters. If you walk in without representation, the builder registers you as an unrepresented buyer. Adding your own agent after that point can be difficult or impossible depending on the builder's policy. The solution is simple: call us before you visit. We will accompany you on your first tour so your representation is established from the start.

Best of all, our services cost you nothing on a new construction purchase. The builder pays our commission because they understand that represented buyers are more confident, more informed, and more likely to close smoothly.
