Welcome home to your new small town

In case you were wondering, we pronounce it “puh-kahn.” And that’s where our story begins. Early on, we decided to preserve over 200 of the pecan trees growing on our land. Because mature trees add character to a neighborhood. Of course, not only did the old trees inspire much of the community’s design, they inspired the name itself.

Pecan Square’s tech-savvy homes make life easier, but they also make it more neighborly. Because they connect you to the community. At move-in, homes come with half-gigabit Wi-Fi, Ring Video Doorbell and Echo Show. With a few simple words you can see who’s at the front door, make restaurant reservations or watch your favorite Marvel movie. And get notified when your packages arrive at the Post & Parcel. But best of all, Alexa connects to the HOA. So you can sign up for a yoga class. See who’s playing at the outdoor concert. And then video call your neighbors to make plans.

A ’53 Chevy pickup, to be exact. Durable. Reliable. A classic. Like all of Pecan Square, it’s a part of the past that’s been given new relevance in the present. It serves as our traveling ambassador, making appearances and connecting our community. It’s a reminder of how good things just get better over time. Oh, and it makes people smile too.

At Hillwood, everything we do is measured against a set of values we call Live Smart^sm. Five principles that guide our hand in placemaking: Connection, Well-Being, Enrichment, Stewardship, and Convenience. For Pecan Square that means before we ever put a shovel in the ground, we collaborate with local stakeholders to create a shared community vision. The outcome was our robust plan for amenities, an onsite hospitality program—and a healthier, smarter, more enjoyable place to live. One measured in smiles, moments of sheer delight and lifelong friendships. Learn how our Live Smart^sm program works in our other communities.

The Texas prairie welcomes you, its pecan trees and open sky an invitation to what’s next – a new mix of town with country roots. And it’s an open invitation to you, to start laying down roots of your own.
