Savannah / Providence / Paloma Creek
Master-planned communities in the far-east corridor, feeding Ray Braswell High School
Savannah, Providence and Paloma Creek are master-planned family communities in the fast-growing far-east corridor of Denton County, and they are grouped together here because buyers shop them as one set. An important point of clarity: these are separate communities in the Aubrey, Providence Village and Little Elm area rather than neighborhoods inside the City of Denton itself, and what they share is Denton ISD schools and the newer Ray Braswell High School zone.
Price Range
Roughly $300K – $500K across the three communities depending on plan, phase and which community, against a Denton ISD corridor that is among the more attainable in the metro. Denton's citywide median sits between about $384,905 and $390K in early-to-mid 2026. Ask for current comps by community with an as-of month.

How Savannah / Providence / Paloma Creek trades
This corridor grew from open land into tens of thousands of homes in under two decades, and it is still delivering, which means resale competes with active builders and their incentive packages. The Denton ISD assignment and the Braswell zone are what buyers are typically searching for, and the three communities compete directly with each other on amenity package and price rather than on school district.
Taxes, dues and districts
This corridor makes heavy use of municipal utility districts and public improvement districts to fund the infrastructure that made the development possible, and those either raise the tax rate or add an assessment on top of association dues. The difference between a district and a non-district address is substantial. Pull the rate for the exact address from the Denton Central Appraisal District and have the title company identify any district before the option period ends.
Check these before you offer
The trade-offs a listing will not mention. None of these are reasons not to buy here; they are the things worth pricing in.
- These are separate communities with separate associations, dues and amenities. Do not treat them as one place when comparing.
- The commute is long to almost every major employment center. Drive it at the hour you would actually drive it.
- Still building in parts, so resale competes with builder incentives.
- Verify whether the address sits in a municipal utility district or public improvement district; these are common throughout this corridor and materially affect the tax bill.
- Road capacity in the corridor has lagged the pace of housing growth.
