The Ranch at Uptown Celina: Builders, Plans & New Home Guide

The menus include six single-story choices from each builder. Start with bedroom separation, bath access, a usable work area, storage, covered outdoor space, and garage fit. Verify entry steps, thresholds, clearances, and other accessibility needs in the actual property.

Many two-story Toll Brothers designs highlight a first-floor primary suite. For any design, identify where secondary bedrooms, laundry, game rooms, and daily-use spaces sit. Check guest access to a full bath and whether the room you need is included or optional.

A three-car count does not establish three independent bays. Review the plan, door openings, vehicle clearance, storage, driveway, and any garage conversion or extension. The reviewed Taylor Morrison Peridot inventory example specifically advertises a three-car tandem garage.

Compare doors, window placement, acoustics, circulation, dimensions, and storage. Decide whether an open loft works for your use or whether you need a room that can close. Confirm whether a room is a standard feature, an option, or part of a particular inventory configuration.

Review the actual lot area and shape, setbacks, easements, drainage, patio, garage position, and neighboring structures. Ask about permitted fencing and architectural approval for any pool, outdoor kitchen, or other improvement you are considering.

For a ground-up purchase, begin with released lots, compatible designs, deposits, option deadlines, full pricing, financing, and construction terms. For a completed or nearly completed home, begin with the actual address, selected specifications, remaining choices, inspections, repairs, and a written closing schedule.

Home site 42 lists a two-story home with a first-floor primary suite, 2,654 square feet, four bedrooms, three full baths, one half bath, and two garages. It is labeled Move-In Ready at $464,000. Confirm the actual selected finishes, upper-floor rooms, completed condition, and current closing readiness.

Home site 203 lists a single-story Alastair Classic with 2,500 square feet, four bedrooms, three full baths, and two garages at $539,000. Its individual page targets December 2026, so it should not be treated as an immediate-occupancy home.

Home site 409 lists a single-story Archibald Hill Country with 2,954 square feet, three bedrooms, three full baths, one half bath, and three garages at $629,000. Its Move-In Ready label and inventory bath count are specific to this property; confirm the actual drawing rather than using the base design’s bath arrangement.

Home site 609 lists a two-story Kenney Hill Country with 4,259 square feet, four bedrooms, four full baths, one half bath, and three garages at $949,000. The page labels it Move-In Ready and highlights a cul-de-sac and oversized homesite. Verify the survey, lot dimensions, finishes, and current availability.

Lot 13 lists a single-story Braxton with 1,494 square feet, three bedrooms, two full baths, and two garages at $321,665. The individual page targets October–November 2026 and highlights a covered patio. Confirm the actual construction stage, final specifications, and closing date.

Lot 20 lists a two-story Rhone with 3,289 square feet, four bedrooms, four full baths, one half bath, and two garages at $549,590. Its individual page targets November–December 2026 and highlights a study, game/media space, and extended patio. Confirm the actual layout and remaining selections.

Lot 12 lists 3,352 square feet, four bedrooms, four full baths, two stories, and a three-car tandem garage at $584,265. The individual page says Ready now and highlights two bedrooms downstairs and a pond view. Verify garage clearance, the actual view, easements, and completed condition.

Lot 21 lists a two-story Augusta with 4,462 square feet, five bedrooms, five full baths, one half bath, and three garages at $799,917, labeled Ready now. The page highlights greenbelt positioning and game/media spaces. Confirm surrounding-land plans; a current view or lack of rear neighbors is not a permanent guarantee.

The district FAQ identifies Willard Middle School for grades 5–6, and its school directory lists Moore Middle for grades 7–8. Confirm how this applies to your child and move date. Ask about the relevant program, enrollment documents, transportation, and any planned changes.

Celina ISD states that attendance zones depend on residential address and may change as facilities are added. At review, its attendance page linked a map labeled 2025–26. Obtain confirmation for your intended 2026–27 or later year rather than assuming an older map is current.

If the district cannot locate a new address, provide the lot and plat information for direct confirmation. Recheck if construction, closing, or enrollment crosses a school-year boundary. Ask the district about actual campus placement and transportation before arranging a move.

Taylor Morrison’s February 2026 community fact sheet lists an approximate $950 annual base assessment and Neighborhood Management Inc. That equals about $79.17 per month for budgeting; it does not establish monthly billing. Confirm the current assessment, all applicable associations, collection-specific charges, budget, and fees for the actual property.

Adding the $950 annual HOA reference to the $600,000 tax illustration gives approximately $1,485.72 per month for those two categories. This excludes principal and interest, insurance, mortgage insurance, utilities, maintenance, and any other applicable fees or assessments. Actual exemptions and parcel details will change the calculation.

The builder fact sheet identifies Uptown MUD #1, and the county publishes its 2026 rate. Ask the title company and lender to confirm the exact parcel’s districts, taxes, required notices, current assessments, and closing allocation. This guide does not establish that every possible additional charge is absent.

Review capital contributions, transfer and resale-certificate charges, special assessments, leasing restrictions, parking, fencing, landscaping, maintenance responsibilities, amenity rules, and architectural approvals. Confirm internet, utility service, insurance costs, and any planned improvement before finalizing the budget.

Confirm the lot release, permitted plan and elevation, structural choices, included package, design allowances, deposits, and selection deadlines. Review the build schedule, change-order terms, substitutions, inspection access, and financing or appraisal provisions before committing.

Confirm availability, construction stage, approved plans, selected finishes, appliances, included landscaping, remaining choices, inspection schedule, repair process, and the builder’s actual closing expectations. A published target or Ready now label does not itself establish possession.

Arrange an independent inspection early, with construction-stage inspections where appropriate and permitted. Agree how findings and repairs will be documented, when reinspection is possible, and what happens if work remains at the final walkthrough.

Review the actual survey, plat, setbacks, drainage, retaining walls, utility easements, flood information, and adjacent land uses. Confirm any planned outdoor project, fence, pool, or landscaping change against the lot conditions and association requirements.

Read the builder contract and addenda. Understand deposit and refund terms, financing and appraisal conditions, delay provisions, cancellation rights, and possession timing. Ask how a delayed sale of your current home or a lease deadline affects the plan. Obtain qualified legal advice when needed.

Confirm outstanding work, appliance and system operation, documents, keys, warranties, exclusions, claim deadlines, and coverage start dates. Review escrow assumptions, completed-home tax exposure, insurance, utility setup, association obligations, and the schedule for any post-closing service.

This guide covers Toll Brothers’ Villa, Elite, Select, and Executive collections and Taylor Morrison’s 40s, 55s, 60s, and 70s. It compares 52 published menu entries in total, including Victoria and Augusta as inventory-only entries in Taylor Morrison’s 70s menu.

The reviewed collection pages show Taylor Morrison 40s from $357,990 and Toll Brothers Villa from $369,995. A particular inventory home can have a lower or higher advertised amount. Starting figures are not complete quotes for a selected lot, design, or configured property.

Some are labeled Ready now or Move-In Ready; others have future targets, including 2027 homes in the broader lists. This guide uses each selected home’s individual-page timing. Request a current verified shortlist for your own move-in deadline.

Taylor Morrison’s fact sheet identifies Uptown MUD #1. Collin County’s 2026 summary lists its rate at $0.80 per $100 of taxable value. It is included in the five-rate tax illustration above. Confirm all districts, values, exemptions, and other applicable assessments for the actual parcel.

The builder’s February 2026 fact sheet lists an approximate $950 annual base HOA assessment; verify current property-specific charges. For schools, use Celina ISD confirmation by address, grade, program, and year, including its separate Willard grades 5–6 guidance and Moore grades 7–8 directory reference.
