I’ve lived in the same home for many years, and I stay because of the people who live around me. My neighbors check on me, and I check on them. We share more than fences. We share life.
Recently, a new development brought 350 families into our once-quiet corner of Denton. At first, many of us were concerned about the traffic, the pace of growth, and the loss of farmland we thought might always stay the same. But something good happened. We talked. We listened. And together, we found a path forward that respects the past while making room for the future.
Now, a few of those new neighbors have moved in. I’ve stopped by their front porch, introducing myself and welcoming them. Because neighborhoods don’t become great by accident. They are built, one relationship at a time.
When I was away from home recently, one of my longtime neighbors brought in my mail and picked the ripe blackberries from my backyard so they wouldn’t go to waste. That simple act reminded me why I love where I live. Good neighbors pitch in. They care.
That’s exactly what we’re doing at Community Forever Village. We received 73 acres of farmland on the northwest side of Denton, and we’re working closely with the city and our neighbors to shape something meaningful and lasting.
This won’t be a typical neighborhood. The homes won’t be for sale, but our residents will pay rent and be part of the community. There will be a shared garden, a small grocery store, and a place to gather for movie nights, karaoke, and shared meals. We are not just building houses. We are creating a place to belong.
We want to be good neighbors. We want to listen. And we invite you to be part of this story.
