New streets growing up alongside Anna's original downtown grid
Most of Anna's new construction pushes toward the edges; Sherley Farms went the other direction. Its phases are opening close to downtown Anna, which means buying brand-new without exiling yourself from the oldest, most walkable part of town. As the city works to fill its historic core with the restaurants and retail all these rooftops are demanding, Sherley Farms residents are positioned to be regulars from day one.
Day to day, that geography is the neighborhood's quiet advantage. School runs stay short inside Anna ISD, US-75 is close enough for a Plano commute of about 30 minutes to Legacy West, and errands do not require a highway. The community itself has the energy of a place mid-build — new families arriving in waves, fresh sod going down, and phase maps posted where finished streets will eventually run.
Sherley Farms is new-construction territory with phases still opening, so buyers get the full menu: inventory homes ready soon, to-be-built contracts with lot selection, and floor plans that lean into the current North Texas playbook — open living areas, kitchen islands built for homework, and flexible fourth bedrooms. Elevations run traditional brick with stone accents, and lots are sized for easy weekend maintenance rather than serious acreage. It suits buyers who want a warranty and modern systems but also want downtown Anna's coffee-and-errands orbit close by, instead of a thirty-minute round trip for a gallon of milk.
