Mansfield has 5 active new construction communities. Each sits in a different part of the city with different tradeoffs on price, lot size, amenities, and taxes. Here is what each one costs and what you get for it.
M3 Ranch — 76063 (Northwest Mansfield)
Nearly 900 acres with a 9.5-acre amenity center, pool, splash pad, trails, and a 3-acre pond. Four builders compete here — which gives you real room to negotiate. Phase 2 is actively selling.

|---|---|---|---|
| American Legend | From $498,990 | 2,280–3,500+ | 60', 80' |

Highland pricing was not confirmed live during verification; call the Highland M3 Ranch sales office to confirm the current range.

South Pointe — 76063 (South-Central Mansfield)
Mansfield's largest master-planned community, across 870+ acres off US 287 and Highway 360. More mature landscaping, full trail system, and ponds throughout. Three builders cover three separate price tiers — start at $469K with Coventry or reach $1.1M with Grand.
| Builder | Price Range | Sq Ft | Lot Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coventry Homes | $469,990 (50') – $591,990+ (75') | 2,110–4,070 by collection | 50', 65', 75' |
| David Weekley | $528K+ (Cottage 50s); Manor 75s from $696,990 (CLOSE OUT); Village 60s (CLOSE OUT) | Cottage 2,171–2,929; Manor 3,184–3,479 | 50', 60', 75' |

Best for: Any buyer who wants Mansfield's most finished-looking neighborhood. Grand Homes runs $940s–$1.1M (per grandhomes.com, May 2026). David Weekley's Village 60s and Manor 75s are closing out; if you want a larger David Weekley lot here, move soon. Walk South Pointe and M3 Ranch back to back: same price range, different feel.

Schedule a Free Tour With SilviaSomerset — 76084 (Johnson County, Highway 360/287)
Built by Bloomfield Homes at 2006 Portrush Lane in the 76084 zip code — Johnson County, not Tarrant County. Somerset markets "No MUD! No PID! Lowest Taxes in Mansfield ISD/Johnson County." Planned amenities include a pool, trails, and fountains. Highway proximity is convenient for commuters but perimeter lots get road noise.
Chesmar Homes at Somerset — Cannot Verify
Chesmar was previously listed as a Somerset builder. As of May 2026, Chesmar's Mansfield page returned errors and no Somerset listings could be confirmed. Bloomfield Homes is the only confirmed active builder. Call Silvia before driving out to verify current availability.
| Builder | Price Range | Sq Ft | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloomfield Homes | $493,990 – $733,990 | 1,840–4,242 | 4 phases; No MUD, No PID |
Best for: Buyers who want Mansfield ISD with a wide sq ft range and no MUD/PID fees. Bloomfield's floor has moved from $449K to $493,990 and the ceiling is now $733,990 — no longer the cheapest option overall, but the widest floor plan range in one community.

View at the Reserve — 76063 (Northwest Mansfield)
Single-builder community at 2907 Sage Brush Drive. Two collections: Discovery (50-foot lots, starts in the low $400s — the lowest confirmed floor in Mansfield right now) and Inspiration (60-foot lots, $468,990–$699,899). Less price competition, but more consistency in design and build standards.
Best for: Buyers who want a cohesive neighborhood and the lowest entry price in Mansfield new construction. The Discovery Collection's low-$400s starting price is not available at any other community here.
Source: tripointehomes.com/view-at-the-reserve, May 2026
Rockwood — 76063 (Bloomfield Signature Series)
Bloomfield's Signature Series at 2407 Royal Dove Lane. Estate-sized 65-foot and 90-foot homesites, 2,250–4,238 sqft, "No MUD/PID." In Tarrant County (76063). A 90-foot lot in a production-home setting is rare in Mansfield — this community does not appear on older listing aggregators but is actively selling.
Best for: Buyers who want more land than typical production homes offer without going fully custom. Compare to Somerset if budget is similar — Rockwood is Tarrant County, Somerset is Johnson County, which affects your appraisal district and effective tax rate.

Builder Incentives in Mansfield TX: What Is Active Right Now
Coventry Homes — 2.99% Rate Buydown
Through May 31, 2026South Pointe. Rates as low as 2.99% (5.959% APR) on select quick move-in homes. Confirmed live offer — ask for it by name when you visit.
David Weekley — 4.99% Rate
Purchase by June 30, 2026Special financing as low as 4.99% on select DFW homes (5.76% APR FHA/VA, 5.063% APR conventional). Purchase deadline June 30, 2026; home must close by Dec 31, 2026. Valid on South Pointe Cottage 50s and remaining inventory. Source: davidweekleyhomes.com.
Closing Cost Credits
$5K–$20K (ask)More common on inventory homes and during slower sales months. Builders don't post these — your agent asks for them.
Inventory Home Discounts
Biggest room to negotiateHomes sitting 60+ days have the most room. Builders prefer giving upgrades over cutting base price — which keeps neighborhood comparable sales intact.
The Bloomfield $25K Incentive Expired January 31, 2026
Bloomfield Somerset's "$25K-your-way" package is no longer active. The live page as of May 2026 shows individual home discounts on specific floor plans but no advertised package. Ask Silvia for the current Bloomfield offer sheet before visiting.
Design Center Credits: $15K Buys Less Than You Think
Builder design centers typically mark up upgrades 40–60% over retail — standard practice for production builders. That means a kitchen upgrade the builder pays $10K for can show up as $15K–$17K at the design center. Your buyer's agent can often negotiate upgrades at or near builder cost, especially on inventory homes sitting 60+ days.
Builder Financing vs. Getting Your Own Lender
Rate buydowns like Coventry's 2.99% and David Weekley's 4.99% are real — but they almost always require you to use the builder's preferred lender. That lender may not offer the best rate for your specific loan type, credit profile, or down payment amount.
Get pre-approved with an independent lender before you tour. Then compare that loan estimate side by side against the builder's offer. On a $550K David Weekley build, the difference between 4.99% and 6.5% is roughly $400/month — but the builder lender's fees can offset part of that gap. The only way to know which deal is better is to put both estimates on paper at the same time.
- Builder lender pros: unlocks rate buydowns and closing cost credits tied to the preferred lender; easier coordination with the build timeline.
- Independent lender pros: no rate markup for the builder's kickback; more loan program options (FHA, VA, USDA, and programs for buyers using a tax ID number instead of a Social Security number); individual lender requirements that may work better for your file.
- The smart move: get pre-approved with both, then decide. Silvia walks you through the loan estimate comparison — no charge.
What New Construction Builders Don't Tell You
The Year-Two Property Tax Jump
Year one property taxes are calculated on land value only — the finished home is not on the tax rolls yet. Year two, the county assesses the completed home at full market value. On a $500K Mansfield new build, that means going from roughly $3,000 (land only) to about $11,250 in a single year, before the homestead exemption is applied.
Year One
~$2,800–$4,000Land value only. House not yet on tax rolls.
Year Two
~$11,250Full assessed value. Roughly 3x increase.
File your homestead exemption immediately after closing. Budget for the year-two number from day one, even if your lender's escrow is based on year one. The Johnson County Appraisal District handles Somerset (76084); Tarrant County Appraisal District handles M3 Ranch, South Pointe, View at the Reserve, and Rockwood (76063).
What the HOA and Warranty Actually Cover
Every community in Mansfield has an HOA. Some sections have additional sub-HOA assessments on top — ask for the full disclosure document before signing. The base price the builder advertises assumes the least desirable lot. Corner lots, cul-de-sac lots, and pond-view lots carry $15K–$50K premiums. Most builders offer a 1-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, 2-year systems warranty, and 10-year structural warranty — cosmetic cracks and nail pops are almost never covered after year one. Schedule your 11-month walk-through or you lose that coverage.
HOA Fees and Property Taxes by Community
The two costs buyers most often underestimate are HOA fees and the year-two property tax jump. Here is what each community looks like, in one table.
| Community | Zip / County | HOA (Annual) | Appraisal District | Est. Effective Tax Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M3 Ranch | 76063 / Tarrant | ~$950/year | Tarrant CAD | ~$2.25/$100 (TY 2025, Tarrant County baseline) |
| South Pointe | 76063 / Tarrant | ~$950/year (similar range) | Tarrant CAD | ~$2.25/$100 (TY 2025, Tarrant County baseline) |
| View at the Reserve | 76063 / Tarrant | Verify with builder | Tarrant CAD | ~$2.25/$100 (TY 2025, Tarrant County baseline) |
| Rockwood | 76063 / Tarrant | Verify with builder | Tarrant CAD | ~$2.25/$100 (TY 2025, Tarrant County baseline) |
| Somerset | 76084 / Johnson | Verify with builder | Johnson CAD | ~2.10% (Somerset markets "lowest taxes in MISD/Johnson County") |
Tax rates are approximate effective rates based on county appraisal district baselines. Actual rate varies by specific address, ISD levies, MUD/PID overlays, and tax year. Pull the current rate sheet from Tarrant CAD or Johnson CAD before closing. Somerset's "No MUD, No PID" claim means buyers avoid those additional assessments that apply in some Tarrant County developments.
On a $500K Tarrant County home at the TY 2025 statutory rate of $2.25 per $100: expect roughly $11,250/year in property taxes at full assessed value (year two), before the $140K homestead exemption. With homestead applied, the school portion drops, putting effective annual tax closer to $9,000–$9,500. Somerset (Johnson County, "No MUD/PID") runs slightly lower per Bloomfield's marketing claim. Pull the actual rate sheet for the exact lot before signing. Source: City of Mansfield Property Tax Information (TY 2025 rates).
New Construction vs. Resale Homes in Mansfield TX
If you are weighing a new build against an existing home, here are the five tradeoffs that matter.
| Factor | New Construction | Resale Home |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Low $400s–$1.1M. Premium over resale for same sqft — you pay for new condition and your own selections. | Mansfield resale median typically $430K–$500K (varies by source/season). Homes under $400K exist in resale; they do not exist in new construction here. |
| Move-in Timeline | 8–12 months for to-be-built. Inventory homes close in 30–60 days. | 30–45 days once under contract. |
| Customization | You pick finishes and upgrades. Design center prices run 40–60% over retail. | You get what is there. Renovations come out of pocket after closing. |
| Warranty | 1/2/10 builder warranty: 1 year bumper-to-bumper, 2 years systems, 10 years structural. | No warranty unless the seller agrees to one. Older HVAC, roof, and water heater may need replacement soon. |
| Year-One Taxes | Land value only — looks low. Year two jumps to full assessed value. Budget from day one. | Full assessed rate from day one. No year-two surprise if you homestead properly. |
Most buyers choose new construction in Mansfield because M3 Ranch and South Pointe offer pools, trails, and ponds that few resale neighborhoods in the same price range can match. If you need to move within 60 days or want to stay under $430K, resale is the realistic path — Silvia works both.
Why You Need Your Own Agent for New Construction
The person greeting you at the model home works for the builder. Their job is to sell you the most expensive home at the highest margin. They are not on your side.
The First-Visit Registration Rule — Read Before You Tour
Builders require agent registration at your first visit. If you tour alone, the builder's sales agent becomes your default representative. Bringing your own agent later may not be possible — or the builder may refuse to pay their commission. Always bring your agent first.
- Negotiates current incentives — closing cost credits, rate buydowns, upgrade packages. Builders don't volunteer these. They are standard if someone asks.
- Reviews the contract — builder contracts run 40–60 pages written by the builder's attorneys. Your agent looks for arbitration clauses, delayed-completion terms, and lot-change provisions.
- Gets upgrades at builder cost instead of design center retail markup.
- Negotiates on inventory homes — homes sitting 60+ days have the most room. Builders typically prefer giving upgrades over cutting base price, since a price cut would lower comparable sales for the whole neighborhood.
The builder pays your agent's commission. It costs you nothing to have representation.
How Long Does It Take to Build a New Home in Mansfield?
Expect 8–12 months from signed contract to move-in for a to-be-built home. Typical breakdown:
- Contract to permit: 4–6 weeks
- Foundation and framing: 6–10 weeks
- Mechanical (plumbing, electrical, HVAC): 4–6 weeks
- Drywall, paint, and finishes: 6–8 weeks
- Final inspections and punch list: 2–4 weeks
Inventory homes can close in 30–60 days and tend to have the most negotiation room, especially when they have been sitting 60+ days.
Mansfield ISD Schools and 2024-25 TEA Ratings
All five communities feed into Mansfield ISD (MISD), which earned a B (score 87/100) from the Texas Education Agency for 2024-25. The district has 20 A-rated campuses out of 47, more than double the prior year. Seven of MISD's eight high school campuses earned A ratings:
- Frontier STEM Academy (magnet, application-based) — A, score 99. Ranked #1 high school in Texas by SchoolDigger.
- Early College HS at Timberview (magnet, application-based) — A, score 99. Students earn college credits via TCC while finishing high school. Ranked #10 in Texas by SchoolDigger.
- Lake Ridge HS (traditional, zoned) — A, score 95. 2,751 students, Grand Prairie campus.
- Timberview HS (traditional, zoned) — A, score 95. 1,787 students, Arlington campus.
- Mansfield HS (traditional, zoned) — A, score 94. 2,541 students, oldest in district.
- Summit HS (traditional, zoned) — A, score 93. 1,770 students, Arlington campus.
- Phoenix Academy (alternative, referral-based) — A, score 92. 54 students.
Legacy HS is the only B-rated traditional high school (score 88, 2,566 students, Mansfield campus). It's still a solid school — for context, a B in Texas accountability means the campus met state standards across most performance domains. The specific high school your lot feeds into matters for resale and for buyers who care about that distinction. School zone boundaries within MISD vary by neighborhood and sometimes by street, so Silvia verifies assignments before you sign. See our Mansfield ISD Schools Guide for campus-by-campus detail including middle and elementary ratings.
Mansfield New Construction by Zip Code: 76063 vs. 76084
If you are searching "76063 new construction" or wondering which zip code maps to which community:
| Zip | County | Communities | Key Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 76063 | Tarrant County | M3 Ranch, South Pointe, View at the Reserve, Rockwood | Most of Mansfield's master-planned new construction. Tarrant County Appraisal District sets assessments. Mansfield ISD throughout. |
| 76084 | Johnson County | Somerset | Southeast Mansfield along Hwys 360 and 287. Johnson County Appraisal District. "No MUD, No PID." Still Mansfield ISD. |
Both zip codes are inside Mansfield city limits and feed into Mansfield ISD. The county line matters for your appraisal district and whether MUD (municipal utility district) or PID (public improvement district) fees apply — those can add to your monthly payment when present. Somerset's "No MUD, No PID" claim means you avoid those extra assessments. Pull the actual 2025 rate sheets from Tarrant County Appraisal District and Johnson County Appraisal District to compare exact rates before assuming one zip is cheaper.
A Local Realtor's Perspective
"Most buyers walk into a model home and forget to ask which lot they're being shown — and that single question can save $25K. The builder's sales rep won't volunteer that detail."

Frequently Asked Questions
Mansfield new construction — everything buyers ask Silvia
Are there new homes in Mansfield TX under $500K?
Yes. Tri Pointe starts in the low $400s (Discovery Collection, 50-foot lots) at View at the Reserve. Coventry Homes starts at $469,990 at South Pointe, with a 2.99% rate buydown available through May 31, 2026. Bloomfield starts at $489,990 at Rockwood and $493,990 at Somerset. American Legend at M3 Ranch starts at $498,990. Highland Homes' M3 Ranch 50-foot collection starts in the mid $500s. No active builder starts below the low $400s as of May 2026. Confirm with builders before visiting.
Which builders are in M3 Ranch Mansfield TX?
Four builders are active at M3 Ranch per the official builder page: American Legend Homes (from $498,990, 60' and 80' lots, 2,280–3,500+ sqft), Highland Homes (mid $500s for 50' lots, $650s+ for 70' lots, $750s+ for 80' lots), Perry Homes (from the $520s on 50-foot lots — Final Opportunity phase, 2,100–3,600 sqft), and John Houston Homes (from $530,990, 60' and 80' lots). Perry's 50-foot collection is closing out as of May 2026.
Do I need a realtor for new construction in Mansfield?
Yes — and you must bring your agent on your first visit. Builders require agent registration at the initial visit. Tour alone first and you may lose the right to buyer representation entirely. The builder pays your agent's commission, so it costs you nothing. Your agent negotiates incentives, reviews the 40–60 page builder contract, and gets upgrade pricing the builder's rep will not offer unprompted.
What is the property tax surprise on Mansfield new construction?
Year one taxes are based on land value only — the house is not on the rolls yet. Year two, the county assesses the full home. On a $500K Mansfield new build at the TY 2025 Tarrant County statutory rate of $2.25 per $100, expect $2,800–$4,000 in year one (land only) and roughly $11,250 in year two before any homestead exemption. The $140,000 homestead exemption applies to the school portion (MISD M&O), so the actual year-two tax with homestead lands lower than $11,250 — pull the exact rate sheet for your lot before signing. Somerset (Johnson County, "No MUD/PID") runs slightly lower per Bloomfield's marketing claim. File your homestead exemption immediately after closing.
How long does it take to build a new home in Mansfield TX?
Most builders quote 8–12 months from contract to move-in for a to-be-built home. Inventory homes (already built or nearly finished) can close in 30–60 days. Timeline depends on the builder, floor plan, and current construction volume. Weather delays add 2–4 weeks on average. If you need to move within 60 days, ask Silvia to filter for available inventory homes specifically.
Which new home builder is best in Mansfield TX?
It depends on your priorities. Tri Pointe starts lowest (low $400s, View at the Reserve Discovery Collection). Highland Homes offers three lot widths at M3 Ranch — mid $500s (50'), $650s+ (70'), $750s+ (80'). Bloomfield at Somerset has the widest floor plan range (1,840–4,242 sqft) starting at $493,990. Bloomfield Rockwood has 90-foot lots from $489,990. Grand Homes at South Pointe runs $940s–$1.1M (per grandhomes.com, May 2026). Silvia compares all 9 active builders at no cost to you.
Is Lennar Homes building in Mansfield TX?
Lennar is not currently building in Mansfield's five active master-planned communities as of May 2026. Search results showing Lennar near Mansfield are likely pulling from Midlothian, Burleson, or Grand Prairie, where Lennar is active. Silvia can confirm current Lennar availability in the broader South DFW area if that builder is on your list.
Should I use the builder's lender or my own?
Get pre-approved with an independent lender first, then compare that offer to the builder's preferred lender side by side. Builder lenders unlock rate buydowns (Coventry's 2.99%, David Weekley's 4.99%) and closing cost credits that often require using their lender. But the builder's lender may not have the best rate for your loan type. Compare loan estimates — your agent can help you read the numbers.
What are the HOA fees for new construction in Mansfield TX?
M3 Ranch HOA runs approximately $950/year. South Pointe is in a similar range. Some sections within a community have additional sub-HOA assessments — always request the full HOA disclosure documents before signing. Somerset (76084) markets no MUD and no PID fees, which reduces monthly overhead versus some 76063 developments. Confirm current fees with the builder or the HOA management company directly before closing.
