Plano’s Avignon Windhaven Offers European Elegance and American Amenities

What’s the first thing you do when moving to the Dallas-Fort Worth area? You start to research neighborhoods. If you’re digging, you may come across a great online review like this one on the Avignon Windhaven neighborhood.

Avignon is a nice, quiet neighborhood in the far northwest area of Plano. The HOA for this neighborhood does an immaculate job of maintaining the common areas and providing their homeowners with some really great amenities. My parents live here, so I just mooch when in town. There is an amazing community pool and clubhouse. There are park benches placed in areas that have a field for kids to play. There is a short walking trail along the easternmost wall of the neighborhood, and the current president does an exceptional job of keeping everyone in the neighborhood well-informed. They also tend to have events for their homeowners that the entire family can enjoy.

Do a bit more digging, and you will discover Avignon Windhaven is a luxury development of just over 200 courtyard homes designed to complement each other in a European architectural style. It’s not just a community of beautiful homes. The amenities are the icing on the cake.

If you want to host a celebration from birthdays to weddings, Avignon’s Palais is a gorgeous community center that includes a beautiful ballroom and a full-service caterer’s kitchen. It opens to a lovely courtyard and pool pavilion. There is a French walking garden with a life-sized chess board and a gazebo overlooking a fountain. The HOA even plants and maintains a vineyard! Of course, there’s a state-of-the-art fitness center, a basketball court, and 24-hour security, as well as a concierge service. That’s right. You will never scramble for tickets to exciting Plano events like the Plano Balloon Festival or the Suburbia Music Fest.

So, your only challenge is finding a home in Avignon Windhaven because, with those amenities, no one wants to leave! Fortunately, homes do come up for sale now and again, and RE/MAX DFW Associates Realtor Von Truong has a beauty currently listed with 4,298 square feet, four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two powder baths, a study, a media room, and a pool.

“It’s on a large corner lot, which is rare in Avignon,” Truong said. “I love the open floor plan. The current owners entertain a lot and have had up to 100 people here. The principal suite has dramatic vaulted ceilings and the owners have done a tremendous amount of upgrading. For instance, the kitchen sink is made from the same marble as the countertops and island. There is incredible attention to detail in this home.”

With a move-in ready home in this excellent neighborhood, proximity to some of the region’s best golf courses and shopping, and the advantage of Plano ISD schools, what are you waiting for?

Truong has 5740 Adair Lane listed for $1.25 million.
