Inside Uptown Celina
Uptown Celina is a 675-acre district by Rockhill Capital and Investments immediately northwest of downtown Celina, planned for about 2,500 homes at completion across single-family, paired and multifamily product. Its first residential piece, The Ranch at Uptown Celina, covers 150 acres between FM 455 and the future Celina Parkway with more than 450 homes on four lot sizes, and a golf-cart-friendly trail is planned to connect residents to the downtown square. It fits buyers who want new construction within reach of Celina's historic square instead of a community far out on the edge of town.
The lesson here is to read the price history. One Toll Brothers home at The Ranch listed in January 2026 at $799,000 and was at $679,000 by March 2026, which tells you how much room builders have had to negotiate on finished inventory. Buyers should ask for the price history and current incentives on every spec home, and sellers of nearby resales should price against those reduced numbers, not the original list prices.
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.

Uptown Celina sits immediately northwest of downtown Celina, between FM 455 and the future Celina Parkway, and less than two miles east of the Dallas North Tollway extension corridor (per the 2023 announcement).
Uptown Celina homes are in Celina ISD, whose adopted 2025-26 rate is $1.2089 per $100 of value, plus city and county rates. One 2026 listing at The Ranch showed MUD water and sewer service, so I check whether the specific lot is inside a MUD or PID before you compare payments.
