Back to Princeton

Lennar's 108-lot second phase of Acorn South near Lake Lavon goes to county commissioners Monday, with Princeton handling its sewage

The 21-acre phase sits in a utility district south of Princeton that owns its own streets and pipes. The county memo says emergency service contracts are still being worked out.

Another 108 homes could be added to the Lennar subdivisions growing on a Lake Lavon peninsula south of Princeton, as Collin County commissioners consider the final plat for Acorn South Phase 2 on Monday, Oct. 12.

Lennar Homes of Texas Land and Construction is both owner and developer of the 21.29-acre phase, which also includes seven homeowners association lots, according to a memo from the county engineering department. The land is outside any city, inside Collin County Municipal Utility District No. 2.

Who provides what

Because the subdivision is in a utility district, the district, not a city, will own and maintain its infrastructure, the memo says. Water will come from Culleoka Water Supply Co. and sewer service from the City of Princeton. The lots do not front existing public roads, so new streets will be built to the county's minimum standards.

Once commissioners approve the plat, construction plans will be reviewed and building can start.

The memo also says the district has not yet secured contracts for emergency services for the development and is working on them.

The district's own bond disclosure, dated Aug. 11, describes an amended agreement, in effect since June 28, 2024, under which Princeton provides fire protection and emergency medical services in the district and bills it monthly; the district paid the city $1,233,685 for those services in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2025.

The memo does not explain how that agreement relates to the new phase.

A district built for growth

The utility district covers about 1,187 acres east of Lowry Crossing, according to the disclosure, which lists the 21.29-acre tract at the southwest corner of County Road 442 and Hawthorne Drive. The district's communities include Bridgewater, Tillage Farms, Cypress Creek, Acorn, The Hollow and Daybreak, and the first phase of Acorn South was developed as 221 lots.

About 10 acres are reserved for a school site and 2 acres for a possible future fire station.

Homeowners there pay district taxes on top of county and school taxes. The district's 2025 rate was $1 per $100 of taxable value, and it has published its intent to levy the same total rate for 2026. It was also selling $15 million in utility bonds, with delivery expected around Oct. 13, the disclosure says. The district overlaps Princeton ISD.

The commissioners court meets at 1:30 p.m. Monday at 2300 Bloomdale Road in McKinney. The Acorn South plat is on the consent agenda, which is normally approved in one vote unless a commissioner pulls an item.
