Uptown…
Just north of downtown Celina, a new neighborhood is emerging that offers a home style that is currently unavailable in the area. North Square at Uptown Celina, developed by Rockhill Capital Investments, features an exceptional community of paired homes. These upscale residences balance modern luxury and the charm of Celina's rich county and agricultural history.
A paired home is a luxurious and spacious single-family attached residence ranging from 2,100 to 2,500 square feet. Typically, townhomes are found in housing blocks of four, which consist of two spacious end units and two center units that share primary side walls. Duplexes, on the other hand, are single buildings divided into two separate living units and are usually owned by a single owner. In contrast, paired homes allow each unit to be individually owned, despite sharing a common center wall. Each paired home is individually platted, featuring unique entrances, garages, and private yards.
Jennifer Johnson is the founder and president of Olivia Clarke Homes, one of the nation’s first female-led homebuilding companies. Her company has been recognized with three awards at the 2022 and 2023 Dallas Builders Association McSAM Awards. Jennifer is dedicated to designing and building homes that meet the needs of women and families. Jennifer notes, "Today, 91% of home-buying decisions are made by women." With this in mind, her homes prioritize storage and functional design. Innovative design ensures that the square footage is utilized effectively, allowing the home to feel more spacious and accommodating to how families want to live.
Jennifer and her company are currently involved in developments in Frisco at The Fields, as well as in Aubrey. However, Jennifer has truly fallen in love with Celina. She appreciates the area's charm, the strong sense of community, and the shared pride among the residents. Celina embodies the qualities that families seek when choosing a place to raise their children. The collaboration between city leaders and citizens inspires a sense of unity that aligns perfectly with Olivia Clarke Homes.
The homes at North Square at Uptown Celina attract both new families and empty nesters looking to downsize. They serve as perfect bookends for different stages of family life. With multiple flexible floorplans available, these homes feature options for a primary bedroom and bathroom either upstairs for younger families or downstairs for seniors aging in place. These low-maintenance residences are designed with open layouts, high-end finishes, and thoughtful features that maximize space, functionality, and ease of living. The exterior designs of the homes reflect Celina's historical roots, showcasing styles reminiscent of the country setting and early bungalow architecture.
Affordability has been a priority for the team, with home prices starting in the $450,000s. The neighborhood boasts many amenities, including walking paths, open spaces with natural landscaping, and a community center. The Homeowners Association dues are intentionally set at $85 per month. If you don’t already own a golf cart, you may consider getting one when moving to Uptown. The community's close proximity to downtown Celina, along with nearby shopping, restaurants, events, and festivals, make it a walkable area ideal for golf cart transportation.
This spring, Olivia Clarke Homes will introduce a new community called The Heights at Uptown, located across the way for move-up buyers. These single-family homes range in size from 1,900 to 3,800 square feet and will offer three to five bedrooms, starting in the low $500,000s. Each home features an open-concept design with spacious living areas, gourmet kitchens equipped with oversized islands, large primary suites, and flexible spaces for various uses. The Heights will offer resort-style amenities, including pools, a pavilion, walking and biking trails, and community parks.
Incentives and move-in offers are regularly updated as the inventory changes. Jennifer encourages anyone interested in relocating to Uptown to reach out to the sales manager, Diane Walker, for the latest information.
