Is Stone Ranch a good neighborhood in Wylie?

For most families, yes. It’s a Bloomfield community in Collin County with no MUD and no PID, and that matters. Two homes at the same price can carry very different tax bills depending on those districts. Here, you pay the city rate and a $600 yearly HOA. That’s it.

What makes 501 Windcrest different?

Space for the money. At 3,444 square feet and $630,000, it lands around $183 per square foot. Most Wylie listings this year have been sitting closer to $200.

The layout fits real life. The primary suite and a guest room are downstairs, so a home office or visiting grandparents have a spot. Upstairs you get a game room, a media room, and a walk-in storage closet big enough to get the Christmas bins out of the garage.

The expensive items are handled too. The roof and gutters were replaced in 2026, there’s a tankless water heater, and the backyard has room for a pool with grass to spare.

Can kids walk to school from Stone Ranch?

From this house, yes. Harrison Intermediate and Burnett Junior High are a short walk away, and Hartman Elementary is right down the road, all in Wylie ISD.

What is there to do nearby?

Community Park is close, with pickleball, basketball, baseball fields, and a busy playground. Historic downtown Wylie is minutes away for dinner at Ballard Street Cafe or the fall Oktoberfest stroll. Highway 78 connects you toward the Bush Turnpike, and Lake Lavon is close for weekend boating.

The Stone family has been tied to this land since 1850, and their 1912 bungalow, Stonehaven, still stands on South Ballard.

Who is this home for?

Move-up buyers who have outgrown their first house, families who need five bedrooms without a MUD tax, and anyone who wants a newer home close to a real downtown.

Open house: Saturday, October 17, noon to 2.
