WHAT'S IT LIKE LIVING IN DEVONSHIRE? A LOOK AT 1116 WEDGEWOOD DR IN FORNEY

 

Devonshire is the master-planned community other Forney neighborhoods get measured against, and this five-bedroom on Wedgewood backs it up with a private pool, a brand-new roof, and a climate-controlled garage — upgrades that are already done instead of sitting on your to-do list.

The English countryside design and stone tower entrance aren't just curb appeal. Inside the gates you get ponds, hike-and-bike trails, a resort-style pool and splashpad, a clubhouse, an amphitheater, a dog park, sand volleyball, and basketball courts, plus Forney ISD schools, including an elementary school built right into the neighborhood. All of that sits less than 25 miles from downtown Dallas — close enough for the commute, far enough that pulling through the gate feels like a different pace entirely.

This 2016 Bloomfield build matches the community room for room. Hardwood floors carry through the main level, and the kitchen opens straight into the living space instead of getting walled off from it. The dining room handles the big dinners, and a dedicated office covers everything else. Upstairs, a game room gives everyone their own corner, and the primary suite closes things out with a walk-in closet that has its own chandelier — the kind of detail people bring up months later when they're describing the house to friends.

What actually sets this one apart from other Devonshire listings is what's already been done. The garage is climate-controlled, not a small thing in a North Texas summer. The roof is new as of 2025. Out back, a private pool with a covered sitting area went in within the last five years, so the backyard is already usable space instead of a project you inherit.

Forney keeps pulling buyers who want new-build feel without new-build prices, and Devonshire is the community leading that charge
