Reata in Lantana, TX: the questions buyers actually ask, answered straight.
Prices, square footage, HOA details, schools, golf-course lots, amenities, and resale-market context for Reata in Lantana — pulled directly from a 5-year residential MLS/CMA report and Denton Central Appraisal District tax records, and written by a team with deep local knowledge of the Lantana community, not a national listing aggregator. Several members of Seay Realty Group’s team have lived in the Lantana community for nearly two decades.
Reata is one of Lantana’s premier golf-course neighborhoods, built along the 16th hole of Lantana Golf Club by CalAtlantic Homes — now part of Lennar following the companies’ 2017–2018 merger — alongside Highland Homes. The neighborhood is laid out across five streets: Mercer Avenue, Bailey Drive, Sewell Drive, Clear Fork Drive, and Garland Drive, with just two entrances off Tanner Parkway and no through traffic.
This guide was put together by Seay Realty Group – Keller Williams to give buyers and sellers a clear picture of homes in Reata, neighborhood features, HOA considerations, school zoning, lifestyle, and recent market activity.
But we’re more than Lantana specialists — we’re neighbors. Lantana isn’t just a place we sell — it’s the community several of our own team members call home, with multiple team members having lived here for close to two decades. That firsthand perspective shapes how we research and represent every section of the neighborhood, including Reata.
The market figures below reflect a 5-year residential CMA for Reata in Lantana, TX, covering 19 closed MLS sales from July 26, 2021, through July 25, 2026. The report was prepared July 25, 2026. Because 19 closed sales is a modest sample for a five-year window, we’ve supplemented the CMA with Denton Central Appraisal District tax records covering all homes in the neighborhood to provide fuller context on square footage, lot sizes, and construction. The figures provide historical neighborhood-level context and should not be interpreted as current inventory, an appraisal, or a guarantee of value.

01 - About Reata & Lantana
Reata is a golf-course-oriented neighborhood within Lantana, a master-planned community in southwest Denton County that includes approximately 1,780 acres, around 4,000 single-family homes, and roughly 15,000 residents. Reata was built by CalAtlantic Homes — which merged with Lennar in 2018 — alongside Highland Homes, and is laid out across five streets: Mercer Avenue, Bailey Drive, Sewell Drive, Clear Fork Drive, and Garland Drive.
Based on the 5-year Reata CMA, closed sales ranged from approximately 2,990 to 4,388 square feet, with a median closed size of approximately 4,026 square feet and an average of approximately 3,889 square feet — predominantly 4-bedroom homes, with a meaningful share of 5-bedroom floor plans, and roughly an even split between one-story and two-story construction across the full neighborhood.
Reata sits along Lantana Golf Club’s 16th hole, accessed through just two entrances off Tanner Parkway, in the 76226 ZIP code. Mercer Avenue forms a cul-de-sac within the neighborhood, and because the layout limits through traffic to two controlled entry points, Reata has a settled, low-traffic feel typical of Lantana’s estate-scale sections. Its position gives residents access to Lantana’s trail system, parks, pools, fitness amenities, and nearby shopping and services along FM 407, FM 2499, and surrounding Denton County corridors.
What sets Reata apart is its golf course and greenbelt frontage along two of its five streets. Homes along Mercer Avenue and Bailey Drive back to Lantana Golf Club’s 16th hole — fairways, tees, or bunkers, depending on the lot — and several Mercer Avenue homes back to a treed greenbelt rather than the fairway itself, giving buyers a choice between an open golf-course view and a more private, wooded backdrop within the same neighborhood.
Because Reata was built by two respected production builders rather than one, the neighborhood offers more architectural variety than Lantana’s single-builder sections — buyers will find everything from single-story golf-course homes with oversized three- and four-car garages to two-story plans with upstairs game rooms and media rooms, most finished with hardwood flooring, stone or brick elevations, and gourmet island kitchens with gas cooktops and double ovens.
Yes. Dakota is part of Lantana, TX, a master-planned community in Denton County. Homes in Dakota are generally subject to the Lantana Community Association, architectural standards, HOA rules, and community guidelines.
Subdivision labels can vary across MLS records, appraisal district records, legal descriptions, and closing documents — Dakota may appear under slightly different subdivision name variants depending on the record. Buyers should verify the exact subdivision, governing documents, resale certificate, deed restrictions, and HOA rules for the specific home they are considering.
Reata occupies one of the higher price tiers within Lantana. Closed sales over the past five years ranged from roughly $725,000 to $1,200,000, with a median sold price around $850,000 and an average closed size approaching 3,900 square feet — noticeably larger, on average, than many of Lantana’s other resale neighborhoods. With 19 closed MLS sales across roughly 89 home sites over five years, Reata’s turnover and closed-sale sample give a fuller comparable picture than some of Lantana’s smaller, more tightly held neighborhoods.ed home sizes in the reviewed sample ranged from 2,674–3,831 square feet, with a median of roughly 3,629 square feet — solidly in line with larger Lantana neighborhoods rather than the community’s more compact, entry-level sections. Lots ran from about 0.158 to 0.221 acres.
Pricing reflects that positioning. Closed sales in Dakota over the past five years ranged from roughly $582,000–$845,500, with a median sale price around $695,000. Garage configurations in the reviewed sample were predominantly 3-car, and roughly 4 of 10 sales (40%) of the closed sales included a private pool. The neighborhood’s standout feature, though, is Fairfield Street specifically, where homes back directly onto the Lantana golf course — a feature not shared by every street in the loop.
Reata was built by CalAtlantic Homes — now part of Lennar following the companies’ merger — and Highland Homes. Based on the 5-year Reata MLS history and supporting Denton CAD tax records covering the neighborhood, homes in Reata are:
- Single-family homes, with the 19 reviewed closed sales ranging from about 2,990 to 4,388 square feet and a median size around 4,026 square feet; full tax-roll data across the neighborhood’s roughly 89 home sites shows a broader range of approximately 2,909 to 4,723 square feet
- Predominantly 4-bedroom, with a meaningful share of 5-bedroom homes among the reviewed closed sales
- Mostly 3-car garages, with a small number of 4-car and 5-car garage homes among the reviewed closed sales — several with tandem bays
- Pool properties in approximately 32% (6 of 19) of the reviewed closed sales
- Built primarily between 2017 and 2019 in the reviewed closed sales, with tax records for the full neighborhood showing construction generally spanning approximately 2016 to 2020
- Set on lots ranging from approximately 0.209 to 0.363 acres in the reviewed closed sales; full tax-roll data shows a broader range of approximately 0.20 to 0.42 acres
- Roughly evenly split between one-story and two-story construction across the full neighborhood, based on Denton CAD records
- Local Insight with Seay Realty Group
Reata was built with move-up and estate buyers in mind — the homes we’ve seen sell here consistently feature upgraded kitchens with quartz or granite counters, gas cooktops, double ovens, and oversized islands; hand-scraped or nail-down hardwood flooring; media rooms and game rooms; and private study spaces with French doors. Oversized three- and four-car garages are common, and a number of homes along Mercer Avenue and Bailey Drive have added private pools, outdoor kitchens, and extended covered patios to take full advantage of their golf-course or greenbelt lots.
Because Reata was built by two different builders, buyers touring the neighborhood will notice real variety street to street — from single-story golf-course homes to two-story plans with upstairs bonus rooms — even though every home shares Lantana’s overall quality standard.
02 - Homes & Reata Real Estate Market
In the 5-year CMA, the 19 reviewed closed sales ranged from $725,000 to $1,200,000, with an average sold price of approximately $886,179 and a median sold price of approximately $850,000.
Current values will depend on active competition, interior updates, pool presence, lot placement (including whether a home backs to the fairway or a treed greenbelt), garage configuration, condition of major systems, market timing, and buyer demand. With 19 closed sales feeding the CMA, Reata offers a somewhat fuller comparable sample than several of Lantana’s smaller neighborhoods, though pricing a specific home should still lean on the most recent and most comparable available sales rather than the full five-year average alone.
The 5-year CMA showed a median cumulative days on market of approximately 6 days and an average of approximately 20 days among closed sales, with individual closed sales ranging from about 0 to 112 cumulative days on market.
The wide gap between the median and the average reflects a handful of longer-marketing-time outliers rather than a typical Reata sale — most closed sales in the CMA sold within roughly three weeks, and several sold within days of listing. For sellers, a Reata home that launches with accurate pricing, clean preparation, and strong photography has historically captured serious buyer attention quickly. For buyers, it helps to have financing, proof of funds, and a clear offer strategy ready before touring, since several Reata closings in the CMA sold at or within days of hitting the market.
The 5-year Reata CMA showed an average sale-to-list ratio of approximately 101.6% and a median sale-to-list ratio of 100.0%. Closed sales ranged from approximately 92.6% to 116.7% of list price. The majority of reviewed sales closed at or above list price, reflecting strong buyer demand for well-priced, well-presented Reata listings.
The five-year period includes different market environments, including the highly competitive conditions experienced during portions of 2021 and 2022. The above-list results at the upper end of the range should not be interpreted as an expected outcome for a current listing.
Yes. Of the 19 closed sales reviewed in the 5-year CMA, 6 homes — approximately 32% — included a private pool at time of sale. We’ve also represented and reviewed a number of Reata homes where owners added a pool, spa, or expanded outdoor living space after purchase, so the current share of pool homes in the neighborhood may run higher than what closed MLS sales alone reflect.
For buyers, that means it’s worth asking specifically whether a target home — or a neighboring lot — has pool potential given lot size and setback. For sellers with an existing pool, a well-maintained pool and outdoor living area remains one of the strongest presentation features in a neighborhood built around golf course and greenbelt backyards.

All figures are based on the Reata CMA report and should be used as neighborhood-level context, not as an appraisal or property-specific valuation.
Texas doesn’t require sale prices to be publicly recorded, so the closed sale price of a Reata home is only available through the MLS — accessible to licensed agents, not the general public or most third-party valuation tools. With 19 closed MLS sales over five years across a roughly 89-home-site neighborhood, Reata’s sample is fuller than several of Lantana’s smaller sections, but automated valuation tools working from limited public data can still miss the details that drive value here — whether a home backs to the fairway or a wooded greenbelt, pool presence, lot premium, and post-purchase upgrades.
Because Denton CAD tax records provide detail on the vast majority of Reata’s home sites — including one property, 1000 Mercer Avenue, where the county’s total assessed value is currently listed as undisclosed — we’re able to cross-reference square footage, lot size, year built, and story count across the full neighborhood rather than relying on closed MLS sales alone. The combination of CMA data and full tax-roll context gives a far more accurate picture of true Reata value than a national aggregator estimate built on a thin public data set.
03 - HOA, Fees & Taxes
Yes. Reata homes are part of the Lantana Community Association. Buyers should review the current HOA resale certificate, governing documents, architectural guidelines, community rules, and fee schedule before closing.
HOA dues and inclusions can change, so the most accurate source is the current resale certificate and direct HOA confirmation. Recent Lantana MLS and resale information may reflect monthly HOA dues, but buyers should verify the current amount for the specific home before relying on any published figure.
The current HOA dues commonly reflected for Reata Lantana are $138.00 per month, but buyers should verify the current amount directly with the HOA before relying on any published figure. HOA rates are reviewed and can be adjusted annually by the Lantana Community Association board. We always recommend pulling the current resale certificate so there are no surprises at closing.
Lantana HOA dues have historically supported services and amenities such as:
- Front-yard maintenance
- Vector Security monitoring and system installation
- Community swimming pools
- Fitness centers
- Parks and playgrounds
- Sports courts
- Hike-and-bike trails
- Common-area landscaping and maintenance
- Community programming
- Architectural and neighborhood standards
Front-yard maintenance has historically included mowing, edging, pruning, weeding, and seasonal fertilization. Buyers should confirm the current scope of all HOA-provided services for the specific property.
No. The Lantana Golf Club is a private club. Golf and club membership are separate from Lantana Community Association dues — even for Reata homes that back directly to the course. Membership options, availability, initiation fees, and monthly charges should be confirmed directly with the club.
Yes — because Lantana is unincorporated, residents pay a small annual assessment, billed through the HOA, that funds fire and EMS coverage from the Argyle Volunteer Fire Department, calculated based on the home’s appraised value rather than a flat rate. Membership at Lantana Golf Club is also separate and optional, on top of standard HOA dues.
There may be additional costs beyond standard HOA dues depending on the property, current HOA structure, and community assessments. Buyers should review the HOA resale certificate, title documents, tax records, lender estimates, and seller disclosures.
Property taxes vary by property and should be reviewed carefully before purchase. Based on Denton CAD tax records for the neighborhood, total assessed values across Reata homes have generally ranged from roughly $722,000 to $1,025,000, with a median around $840,400 — though assessed value is not the same as market value or purchase price, and buyers should evaluate county tax records, applicable exemptions, estimated post-purchase taxes, HOA dues, insurance, and any community-related assessments for the specific home.
Online mortgage calculators may not accurately include property taxes, HOA dues, insurance, or other ownership costs — a buyer’s true monthly payment should be calculated using property-specific information.
The short answer is yes. Lantana is located within special district structures, and taxes may include allocations tied to community services and emergency services. Special assessments or district-related fees should be verified by property. Before purchasing in Reata, buyers should review title documents, tax records, HOA information, seller disclosures, and lender estimates to understand the full cost of ownership.
04 - Schools & Local Children's Activities
Reata is within Denton Independent School District.
Dorothy Adkins Elementary School (Adkins)
Tom Harpool Middle School (Harpool)
John H. Guyer High School (Guyer or Denton Guyer)
Denton ISD maintains attendance-zone resources, and buyers should always confirm current school assignment directly with Denton ISD before purchasing because boundaries can change.
For families relocating to Reata, school zoning is a big part of the appeal — the neighborhood falls within the boundary of Denton Guyer High School, home of the Wildcats. As of July 2026, Guyer competes in Class 6A for all UIL activities, academics, fine arts, and athletics alike, placing it among the largest and most competitive classification in Texas high school sports. On the football field, the Wildcats compete in Class 6A Division II as part of District 5-6A, going up against some of the toughest programs in the DFW area. Go Wildcats!
Lantana’s broader community environment provides access to parks, playgrounds, swimming facilities, trails, sports courts, and resident events.
Children in the area may also participate in:
- Youth swimming
- Golf or tennis instruction
- Soccer
- Baseball
- Basketball
- Football
- Cheer
- Scouts
- School clubs
- Community service organizations
- Seasonal camps
- Arts and enrichment programs
- And many more
Participation fees are generally separate from HOA dues.
Within Lantana, kids have the opportunity to join the Lantana Lightning Swim Team, Scouts, YMSL, the Texas Lantana Chapter of National Charity League, and many other clubs and activities. Lantana also has tennis and golf lessons offered within the community privately — a natural fit for Reata families given the neighborhood’s direct frontage on Lantana Golf Club’s 16th hole.
Kids interested in sports teams have many choices, including soccer, baseball, youth football, basketball, and more. Kids from Lantana often join local recreational or developmental leagues in nearby Highland Village, Argyle, Denton, and Flower Mound.
In June, many children from the Lantana community attend special-interest and sports camps hosted at Guyer High School. Children also can opt to attend camps at local high schools in Flower Mound, Argyle and other surrounding school districts.
All children’s activities listed generally have fees that are not included in HOA dues. Contact each group directly for the most recent costs associated with participation. A helpful local resource is often one of the Lantana community Facebook groups, such as Lantana Moms.
Reata is in Denton ISD, not Argyle ISD.
This question comes up often with buyers of Lantana homes. The confusion sometimes arises because Lantana is near Argyle and some nearby properties — including many in Reata — use an Argyle mailing address. Although Lantana residents share the 76226 ZIP code with nearby Argyle addresses, public-school attendance boundaries are independent of postal city designations.
While Lantana’s students are zoned for Denton ISD, school options are extraordinary for the community. Lantana has several nearby private schools such as Liberty Christian School, Founder’s Classical Academy, Harvest Christian Academy, The Selwyn School, Coram Deo and many other notable options. Some public school districts in this part of Texas also offer open enrollment. Buyers should contact each district directly to confirm whether open enrollment is available and how the application process works.
Families researching private education can compare schools in Argyle, Flower Mound, Denton, and surrounding communities. Admissions, grade levels, transportation, tuition, programs, and availability should be confirmed directly with each school.
Seay Realty Group does not rank schools or steer buyers toward or away from a neighborhood based on protected characteristics. We provide factual location and zoning resources so each household can evaluate the fit for its own needs.

Yes — Reata sits directly along the 16th hole of Lantana Golf Club, with a number of homes along Mercer Avenue and Bailey Drive backing to the fairway, tee, or bunkers. Several homes along Mercer Avenue instead back to a treed greenbelt rather than the course itself, giving buyers a choice of view within the same neighborhood.
Lantana Golf Club membership is optional and billed separately from standard HOA dues — contact Lantana Golf Club directly for current pricing. From most homes in Reata, the clubhouse is just a short drive or golf-cart ride away.
Reata sits within Lantana in southern Denton County, roughly 8 to 10 miles south of Denton, with access to major routes including FM 407, FM 2499, and US-377. Lantana is approximately 35 miles from both downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth, about 16 miles from DFW International Airport, and about 30 miles from Dallas Love Field, depending on route and traffic. Everyday shopping and dining are close by in Highland Village and along the corridor near Lantana, including Marty B’s, Torchy’s Tacos, Christina’s Mexican Restaurant, and Blue Goose Cantina. There are also a lot of nearby fast food, chain restaurants, locally owned restaurants and unique spots to enjoy.
Reata’s location in southern Denton County puts residents within a manageable drive of the DFW area’s major sports and entertainment venues — close enough for regular game nights without living in the middle of downtown traffic.
- AT&T Stadium (Dallas Cowboys) — Arlington, TX: approximately 35 miles, roughly 45–55 minutes depending on traffic.
- Globe Life Field (Texas Rangers) — Arlington, TX: approximately 35 miles, roughly 45–55 minutes, same general drive as AT&T Stadium since both sit in the Arlington entertainment district.
- American Airlines Center (Dallas Mavericks & Dallas Stars) — Downtown Dallas: approximately 35 miles, roughly 40–50 minutes.
- The Star in Frisco (Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters & Ford Center) — Frisco, TX: approximately 30 miles, roughly 40–45 minutes, making Reata notably closer to Cowboys training facility events than to the stadium itself.
- Comerica Center (Dallas Stars practice facility) — Frisco, TX: similar drive to The Star, roughly 30 miles.
For concerts and live entertainment, residents have several options within a similar drive time:
- American Airlines Center — also a primary concert venue for major touring acts, roughly 35 miles from Reata.
- Dos Equis Pavilion — Dallas’ outdoor amphitheater near Fair Park, approximately 35–38 miles.
- The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory — Irving, TX: approximately 25–30 miles, one of the closer major concert venues to Lantana.
- Toyota Music Factory’s broader entertainment district (restaurants, bars, and smaller live-music venues) in Irving is a popular closer-to-home option for an evening out.
Drive times will vary with traffic, game-day and event-day congestion, and the specific route taken (I-35E/I-35W, TX-121, or the Sam Rayburn Tollway are all common options depending on the venue). Rideshare and event-day parking availability should be checked directly with each venue.
One thing buyers relocating for a “big city, close to everything” lifestyle appreciate about Lantana specifically: it splits the difference well. Frisco’s sports and entertainment corridor — The Star, Comerica Center, and the surrounding restaurants and shops — is actually a shorter drive from Reata than downtown Dallas or Arlington, while Arlington’s stadium district and downtown Dallas’ American Airlines Center remain very doable for a game night or concert without an overnight stay. For families who follow Dallas-area pro sports or regularly attend concerts, that central Denton County location is a genuine lifestyle perk of living in Lantana.
Reata tends to attract buyers looking for an estate-scale golf-course or greenbelt lot within Lantana, with larger homes, oversized garages, and the option of single-story or two-story living. Because the neighborhood was built by two builders — CalAtlantic Homes (now Lennar) and Highland Homes — Reata offers more architectural variety than Lantana’s single-builder sections while still sharing a consistently upscale finish level.
With just two controlled entrances off Tanner Parkway and no through traffic, Reata offers a level of privacy that’s harder to find in Lantana’s larger, more heavily trafficked sections — while still sitting minutes from the clubhouse, town green, and community pools.
Given the neighborhood’s golf course and greenbelt lots, larger average home sizes, and oversized garages, Reata tends to draw move-up buyers, growing families, golf enthusiasts, and buyers who want more space and storage without giving up on an established, amenity-rich community setting.
Lantana is not a designated 55+ community, but it continues to appeal to many 50+ buyers and seniors who want a well-maintained Denton County neighborhood with convenient amenities, attractive streetscapes, and an active community feel. As a master-planned golf course community in southwestern Denton County, Lantana offers a lifestyle that can work well for empty nesters, downsizers, retirees, and multigenerational households — and Reata’s mix of single-story and two-story floor plans, along with its larger average square footage, makes it a natural fit for multigenerational households needing extra bedrooms or flexible living space.
Residents enjoy access to neighborhood amenities such as walking trails, community pools, fitness facilities, parks, tennis courts, and golf-centered surroundings, creating opportunities to stay active without leaving the community. Many buyers in this stage of life also appreciate Lantana’s established neighborhoods, HOA-maintained community standards, proximity to Flower Mound, Highland Village, Denton, and Argyle, and access to nearby shopping, dining, medical offices, and everyday services.
For the Phenomenal Over 50 of Lantana residents, there is an assortment of organized community activities that are ongoing and can be found on the community’s lifestyle calendar. From Lantana’s Ladies League, a “Chair Fit” group, gaming groups (Bingo, Bunko or Mahjong anyone?) there’s always something happening in the community — and Reata residents are just a short drive from Lantana Golf Club’s clubhouse for a round or a casual lunch.
Pickleball has become one of the most popular ways for Lantana residents of all ages to stay active, meet neighbors, and enjoy the community lifestyle. Whether you are a beginner learning the basics, a competitive player looking for regular matches, or a family wanting a fun activity everyone can enjoy, Lantana’s amenity-focused design makes it easy to build recreation into everyday life.
Lantana residents enjoy access to community athletic amenities, parks, walking trails, fitness areas, and gathering spaces that support an active, connected lifestyle. Pickleball is especially appealing because it works well across generations — kids, parents, empty nesters, and retirees can all play together, making it a natural fit for Lantana’s neighborhood-centered environment.
Seay Realty Group has its very own pickleball and tennis lover on our team! Tanya Auerbach, REALTOR can be found at Lantana’s Tennis Complex or Ferguson Courts in Lantana regularly enjoying both sports. Whether you’re just a beginner needing lessons or an experienced athlete looking for a competitive environment, there are all levels of playing styles and ages active within Lantana.
While the tennis courts in Lantana are first come, first served to play (with lesson and match exceptions) — Ferguson Courts has a different structure. These courts are public and are open daily to the public from 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM (with some exceptions). Other courts in the Ferguson complex include a challenge court and reservation courts — available from a reservation app.
Yes. Lantana is a walkable, trail-heavy master-planned community, and pets are very much part of everyday life here. With miles of hike-and-bike trails, greenbelts, sidewalks throughout Reata and the surrounding sections, and multiple neighborhood parks, dog owners have plenty of room to walk, jog, and exercise pets without leaving the community.
Are there dog parks or off-leash areas in Lantana?
Lantana’s trails, greenbelts, and neighborhood parks are popular for walking dogs, but leash rules apply throughout the community’s common areas and sidewalks, consistent with the Lantana Community Association’s general conduct guidelines. For dedicated off-leash dog parks, several are within a short drive of Reata, including options in nearby Highland Village, Flower Mound, and Corinth.
Does the Lantana HOA have pet rules or restrictions?
Reata homes fall under the Lantana Community Association, and like most HOA communities, there are typically guidelines around leash requirements in common areas, pet waste cleanup, and general nuisance/noise provisions. Some HOAs also include breed, size, or per-household pet limits in their governing documents, however Lantana’s governing documents do not currently have breed or size restrictions for its homeowners.
Pets are a big part of daily life in Lantana — you’ll see dogs on nearly every evening walk through Reata’s streets and along the community trails, including the greenbelt areas backing several Mercer Avenue lots. If you’re relocating with pets, we always recommend pulling the current HOA pet guidelines as part of your due diligence, right alongside architectural standards and resale certificate review, so there are no surprises after you move in.
Lantana has two workout facilities in the community that are a part of the HOA amenities. Located at the north and south amenity centers, both gyms have machines for cardio and weight training.
The North Amenity Center facility is spacious and includes:
- Ellipticals
- Treadmills
- Leg Machines
- Benches & Racks
- Free Weights
- Resistance Training
- Stair climbers
- Indoor Cycles
- Motion Trainers
- Strength Machines
- Cable Stations
- Group Training Room
- Olympic-Sized Pool
The South Amenity Center facility is smaller, but also includes:
- Ellipticals
- Free Weights
- Indoor Cycles
- Benches & Racks
- Resistance Training
- Swimming Pool
Lantana also offers Group and Personal Training through Body Bionics. Their offerings change, however in July 2026 their group classes included Aqua Aerobics, Boot Camps, Yoga, Pilates, and Fit 360 (plus a lot more). Martial Arts classes are also offered for youth in Lantana, and classes are held at the North Community Center.
*Gym equipment lists and class offerings are subject to change. Check with Body Bionics or stop by the HOA office for a more up-to-date list of available classes, equipment and times facilities are open to residents. Group and Personal Training, as well as Martial Arts classes are not included in HOA fees. Check directly with Body Bionics for rates and times.
06 - Buying or Selling in Reata
Seay Realty Group has represented buyers and sellers throughout Lantana for close to two decades, including transactions in Reata. A few specific ways that translates into real value:
- Full-picture pricing backed by tax records. With 19 closed MLS sales in Reata over five years, we supplement CMA data with Denton CAD tax records covering the neighborhood’s roughly 89 home sites — giving a fuller, more accurate read on true value than a national aggregator working from limited public data.
- Two-builder familiarity. Because Reata was built by both CalAtlantic Homes (now Lennar) and Highland Homes, we know how the neighborhood’s floor plans, upgrade packages, and lot placements differ from one closing to the next — rather than relying on a generic square-footage comparison.
- Lot-by-lot familiarity. From which Mercer Avenue and Bailey Drive homes back to the fairway versus a treed greenbelt, to which streets sit closest to the Tanner Parkway entrances, we can answer the questions that matter to buyers and sellers but rarely show up in an MLS printout.
- A genuine stake in the Lantana community. We’re not just representing listings — we’re protecting the community’s reputation and its values.
The fastest way to get started is to contact Seay Realty Group directly for a buyer consultation or a free, no-obligation home value report for a Reata property. Buyers can also ask about off-market or coming-soon opportunities, since some of the best Lantana homes change hands before ever reaching public listing portals.
Reata sellers should understand that pricing cannot be based only on square footage or online estimates. Buyers are evaluating condition, updates, floor plan, lot placement (including fairway versus greenbelt backing), garage configuration, pool condition, outdoor living, and presentation carefully. Before listing a Reata home, sellers should review:
- Recent Reata MLS activity
- Competing active homes in Lantana
- Updated vs. original finishes
- Paint, flooring, lighting, and curb appeal
- Roof, HVAC, foundation, and major systems
- Pool condition and equipment, if applicable
- Lot positioning and privacy, including golf-course or greenbelt backing
- Staging and photography strategy
- Pricing strategy based on current buyer demand
When you’re considering listing your home, contact Seay Realty Group for a no-obligation consultation.
Across the 19 closed sales reviewed in the 5-year CMA:
- Average time on market: approximately 20 days
- Median time on market: approximately 6 days
- Range: anywhere from about 0 to 112 days
Most Reata closings in the CMA sold within a few weeks, and several sold within days of listing — the higher average reflects a small number of longer-marketing-time outliers rather than the typical Reata sale. Well-priced, well-presented listings in this neighborhood tend to draw strong, quick interest given the community’s larger home sizes and golf-course setting.
- Realistic, well-researched pricing from day one. Reata homes sold at a median of 100.0% of list price over the past five years, with several selling above asking. Accurate pricing based on true comparable sales tends to attract stronger, faster offers.
- Highlighting golf-course or greenbelt frontage. Homes backing to Lantana Golf Club’s 16th hole, or to the treed greenbelt along Mercer Avenue, carry real appeal in this neighborhood — that feature should be front and center in marketing.
- Move-in-ready condition. Buyers in this price point and neighborhood expect updated finishes, hardwood flooring, and well-maintained systems to match homes built between 2017 and 2019.
- Accurate, MLS-and-tax-record-based pricing rather than aggregator estimates. Because Texas is a non-disclosure state, third-party valuation tools routinely miss the mark on Reata’s mix of lot types and builders.
- Fairway versus greenbelt backing. Homes along Mercer Avenue and Bailey Drive back to Lantana Golf Club’s 16th hole — fairway, tee, or bunkers — while other Mercer Avenue homes back to a treed greenbelt instead. Each carries its own view and orientation, so it’s worth understanding exactly what a specific property backs up to before comparing prices.
- Builder differences, individual upgrades. Reata was built by both CalAtlantic Homes (now Lennar) and Highland Homes, so floor plans and standard finish packages vary by builder and by street — it’s worth understanding what a specific home includes versus original construction.
- Pool condition and potential. Approximately 32% of the closed Reata sales reviewed included a pool at time of sale; for homes without one, ask about lot size and setback to understand pool potential.
- Garage configuration. Mostly 3-car garages across the reviewed sales, with a small number of larger 4-car and 5-car garage homes.
- True comparable pricing, not aggregator estimates. Work from actual MLS comparable sales and Denton CAD tax records — not a Zestimate — to understand whether a specific home is priced fairly.
- HOA details. Current dues commonly reflected for Reata are $138.00/month, but buyers should confirm the exact amount and any assessments for the specific address via the resale certificate.
