Before you go to the model home, let's talk for 20 minutes: many builders ask that your agent come with you or register you from your first visit.

Book my 20-minute call

Before Sully can accompany you to a model home, she signs a written agreement with you first (Texas law since 2026). The call comes with no commitment.

The community: Description under review

Kyle community of 80- and 100-foot homesites where Toll Brothers (Clara Vista at Waterridge) and Drees Custom Homes build. Both describe a clubhouse, pool and playground; Toll presents them as future amenities.

  • Fixed charge of $7,374.38 a year on 80-foot lots and $9,620.23 on 100-foot lots (2026 plan; due Jan 31, 2027). It may drop in future years with a credit from the City of Kyle (TIRZ No. 3, a reinvestment zone), which is $0 for the January 2027 installment.
  • Neither Toll Brothers nor Drees publishes the HOA amount.
  • It does not include the mortgage or homeowners insurance.
  • Notes
    • Before exemptions. If you live in the home, file for the homestead exemption and the bill goes down.
    • If the home was not finished on January 1, the first bill may cover only the land.
    • The MUD, the PID and the HOA vary by section and by lot: ask for the figures for the lot you like.
    • Ask for the MUD or PID notice before you sign.

Before you visit the model home

The model-home salesperson works for the builder. These questions look after your side; get the answers in writing.

  1. What is your rule for working with my agent?

    Many builders ask that your agent come with you or register you on the first visit. Ask their rule before you leave your details.

  2. Can the PID be paid off at once?

    Some PIDs let you pay the balance and stop the yearly charge. Ask the balance and how many years are left.

  3. What does the incentive ask in return?

    Many incentives depend on using the builder's lender. You can choose the title company. Compare before you accept.
