Forestbrook Estates: New Construction Community in Paris, TX

| Shannon Miles Group | 5 min read

New construction in Paris, Texas is changing the conversation about what is possible in Northeast Texas. At the center of that shift is Forestbrook Estates, a 200-acre master-planned community that is drawing families from across the region who want modern homes, room to grow, and a neighborhood built with intention.

We have watched this community take shape from the ground up. As dedicated neighborhood specialists for Forestbrook Estates, the Shannon Miles Group knows every lot, every floor plan, and every builder detail. Here is a closer look at what makes this community worth your attention.

Where Forestbrook Estates Is Located

Forestbrook Estates sits in southeastern Paris, Texas, just minutes from the Love Civic Center and the Paris Sports Complex. The location gives residents easy access to local shopping, dining, and entertainment while maintaining the quiet, spacious feel that families moving to Northeast Texas are looking for.

The community borders wooded parkland, which provides a natural buffer and a sense of privacy that is hard to find in a planned development. It is close to Paris High School and other local educational facilities, making daily routines simpler for families with school-age children.

For those commuting to Sherman, Bonham, or even the northern Collin County corridor, the location offers a reasonable drive while keeping you rooted in the kind of small-town setting that makes Paris unique.

The Homes: Built by D.R. Horton

Forestbrook Estates features new construction single-family homes built by D.R. Horton, one of the largest and most established homebuilders in the country. The community offers seven one-story and two-story floor plan options, giving buyers real choices when it comes to layout, size, and flow.

Some of the most popular plans include:

  • The Texas Cali with 1,858 square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. A great option for families who want an efficient, well-designed layout.
  • The Lakeway with 2,115 square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms. A step up in space with room for a home office or guest room.
  • The Midland with 2,242 square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms. The largest of the three, ideal for growing families or anyone who values extra living space.

Every home in Forestbrook Estates is built with open-concept layouts, cabinets with crown molding, stainless steel appliances, and integrated home technology. The energy-efficient construction is designed to keep utility costs manageable while delivering the modern comfort today's buyers expect.

Current pricing ranges from approximately $295,990 to over $328,000, depending on the floor plan and lot selection. For new construction at this level in the Paris market, the value is strong.

Amenities and Community Design

Forestbrook Estates is not just a collection of houses. It is designed as a true neighborhood. The master plan includes future parks and trails, with Forestbrook Park serving as the central gathering space for hiking, picnics, and outdoor recreation.

The community layout emphasizes wide streets, sidewalks, and common green spaces that encourage walking, biking, and neighborly interaction. From the tree-lined perimeter to the thoughtful placement of homesites, every detail is intended to create a living environment that feels established from day one.

That kind of forward-thinking planning is rare in smaller markets. It is one of the reasons Forestbrook Estates has generated so much interest from families who might otherwise look toward the suburbs of Dallas or Frisco. You get the modern community experience without the traffic, the congestion, or the price tag.

Why Families Are Choosing Forestbrook Estates

The appeal comes down to a few things that matter most to families. First, the homes are new, efficient, and built to current standards. That means fewer maintenance surprises, better energy performance, and the peace of mind that comes with a builder warranty.

Second, the community is designed for how families actually live. The parks, the trails, the walking paths, the open spaces, it all adds up to a neighborhood where kids can ride bikes, neighbors meet on the sidewalk, and weekends feel like weekends.

Third, Paris, Texas itself is a community on the move. With a growing retail base, a strong school system, and a quality of life that keeps drawing people back, the area offers something that is increasingly hard to find: affordable, new-construction living in a place that still feels like home.

For families relocating from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Forestbrook Estates presents a compelling alternative. You can own a brand-new home on a homesite with real space around it, minutes from local amenities, and still be within reach of the broader Northeast Texas region.
