Starwood

Plano’s only guard-gated community: prestige, privacy, and estate-sized lots

Starwood is Plano’s premier gated community, with estate homes and custom residences behind 24-hour guard-staffed gates. Homes sit on larger-than-average lots, many with pools, sport courts, and mature landscaping. The combination of staffed entry and oversized lots makes it one of the most private addresses in Plano.

Starwood: Frequently Asked Questions

Is Starwood Plano worth the premium?
For buyers who need 24-hour staffed gates and an estate lot in Collin County, yes. Alternatives are scarce. The Starwood premium over comparable non-gated Plano homes is typically 15–25%. Resale demand is reliable because the pool of buyers for this price point who also want a staffed gate is concentrated here.
What are HOA fees at Starwood?
Dues run $300–$450/month and cover 24-hour security staffing, common area maintenance, and amenity operations. Individual sub-associations within Starwood may have additional dues.
Can I tour Starwood without a showing appointment?
No. Access is restricted to residents and invited guests. Mali can arrange tours of listed properties directly with the selling agent who will provide gate access.
