The Ridge at Northlake, the highly sought-after residential community located near the Town of Northlake in Denton County, TX, is enjoying incredible sales success, opened their beautiful amenity complex in spring 2021, and is welcoming new residents daily.  

 “This is an exciting time for The Ridge as we watch the community truly come alive,” said Phillip Thompson, vice president of land acquisition and development for Taylor Morrison Dallas and managing partner. “We have had great success during the first phase of property releases and are working quickly on our next phase of homesites scheduled for release in early 2022.” 

“We are also happy with the response to the opening of our beautiful main amenity complex,” said Thompson. “The unique and exciting complex is conveniently located within easy walking distance to most homes in the first phase of The Ridge.”  

The focal point of the 4+ acre amenity is a magnificent resort-style pool with relaxing lounge areas and a children’s splash pad. Overlooking the pool area is the activity complex that includes fitness centers for both aerobics and traditional exercise and a cross-training area called The Altitude Club. Outside there is a yoga lawn and a first of its kind in the area, challenging Ninja course offering even more fitness fun for the entire family. Younger family members will enjoy The Little Explores Club, a creative indoor play area created to look like a mini town square complete with a supermarket, a veterinarian’s office, a fire station, and more.

Along with the inside space, there is an outdoor play area that features a mix of play surfaces and unique, mentally stimulating activity stations such as intricate climbing platforms, rope walls, multiple swing sets, and slides. The play area is certified ECHO which stands for Early Childhood Health Outdoors, a certification program whose goal is to provide young children with access to quality outdoor learning environments.
