A new chapter of residential development is unfolding in southern Grand Prairie with the creation of Lakesong, a master-planned community that will bring new housing, recreation, and economic opportunity to the area. 

Located near the southern tip of Joe Pool Lake and set along both Highway 287 and Highway 67, Lakesong is designed to blend mixed-use facilities, residential neighborhoods, and natural landscapes into a community that supports the City’s long-term growth. 

Spanning approximately 2,700 acres of rolling hills and open space, Lakesong is being developed by Huffines Communities, a real estate firm known for creating large-scale, high-quality residential communities across Texas. 

A groundbreaking for the project took place in November 2025, and construction on Phase 1 is now underway with first home sites ready in 2026-2027.

A Community Designed for Everyday Living 

When fully complete, the development will support more than 10,000 future residents and include: 

  • Approximately 5,000 single-family homes 

  • 2,000 multifamily units 

  • 40 acres of commercial space 

  • 780 acres of parks, open space, and amenities 

  • 20-mile connected trail system 

  • 100-acre private lake (Padera Lake) 

  • Fishing ponds 

  • Swimming pools 

  • Pickleball courts 

  • Sports facilities 

  • Fitness centers 

  • Multiple community and amenity centers 

 

A Dedicated 55+ Community 

Lakesong will also feature Del Webb at Lakesong Village, an active-adult neighborhood offering approximately 600 homes designed for residents aged 55 and older. This community will provide: 

  • Flexible 2–3-bedroom floor plans 

  • A private amenity center 

  • Full access to Lakesong’s recreational features 

This senior-living project will offer a community-focused environment within the wider master plan.  

 

Strategic Location 

Lakesong combines scenic natural surroundings with the convenience of easy regional access. Its location along Highway 287 places residents within a short drive of many of the area’s major destinations, including: 

  • Interstate 20 — 15 miles 

  • AT&T Stadium & Globe Life Field — 20 miles 

  • DFW Airport — 30 miles

“This development represents a valuable new addition to our city’s progressive vision,” said Grand Prairie City Manager Bill Hills. “We are excited to move forward with a project that will provide current and future Grand Prairie residents with new residential and recreational options.”
