Inside The Farm
The Farm is a 135 acre mixed-use development by JaRyCo Development at the southeast corner of SH 121 and Alma Drive in Allen, on land the Johnson family has owned since 1964. The plan includes 2,400 urban residential units at build-out, townhomes, more than 1 million square feet of office, a hotel, The Hub food and entertainment venue with about 35,000 square feet of restaurant space, Chicken N Pickle (opened May 2025), a 2.5 acre lake and a 16 acre greenbelt along Watters Creek. It fits renters and buyers who want an urban, walkable setting on the 121 corridor between Allen, McKinney and Frisco.
The lesson here is that The Farm is mostly a rental and office district today, which shapes your options. Wood Partners opened Alta at The Farm in 2023 and Alta Magnolia in 2025, and its 311 unit Alta Preserve is expected to finish in the second quarter of 2027, while the early plan called for 115 townhomes for ownership. If you are relocating, I often suggest renting here first to learn the area, then buying in a nearby Allen neighborhood, and if you want to own inside The Farm, I check the HOA, any special district and what is still planned next to the unit.
The builder's rep works for the builder. I work for you.
As your agent I owe you fiduciary duties under Texas law: I have to put your interests above everyone else's, including my own, and tell you anything material I learn about the deal. In that sales office, I'm the only real advocate you have.
I walk the slab, the framing before drywall and the final with you and your inspector, and I know what to push back on.
A builder's rep sells one community. I put your budget side by side across builders, with the PID or MUD, the school district and the incentive each one is offering that month.
Builders offer price cuts, closing costs or a rate buydown. I run the numbers on each option so you take the one that does the most for your monthly payment.
Builders write their own contracts, not the standard state forms. I go through every page with you, and stay on it until you have the keys.
On new construction the builder usually pays my fee, and I confirm it in writing before you sign. Bring me, or register me, on your first visit, because many builders won't add an agent later.
The Hub food and entertainment venue, Chicken N Pickle, Planned 2.5 acre lake with trail access, 16 acre greenbelt along Watters Creek, 2.5+ miles of perimeter hike and bike trails connecting to Allen's trail system
The Farm sits at the southeast corner of SH 121 (Sam Rayburn Tollway) and Alma Drive in Allen, with access from Alma Drive and Ridgeview Drive, near the McKinney line.
Property in The Farm is in the City of Allen and Collin County, and Allen homes in Allen ISD paid about 1.77% combined for tax year 2025 before exemptions. Mixed-use projects can carry special districts or assessments, so I confirm every taxing entity for a specific unit on the appraisal record before you buy.
