DALLAS, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Pecan Square, a master-planned community in Northlake, Texas, professionally managed by FirstService Residential and developed by Hillwood Communities, has been honored with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Lifestyle Program of the Year award at the association's annual gala.
Spanning 1,200 acres, Pecan Square is home to approximately 5,000 residents and currently consists of 1,900 homes, with plans to grow to 3,100 at full build-out. The community's award-winning lifestyle programming is led by FirstService Residential's Lifestyle Director, Razeena Sanchez, who curates a robust calendar of 13 to 18 events per month, ensuring that residents of all ages have opportunities to connect and engage.
"At FirstService Residential, our success in lifestyle community programming comes from our commitment to building strong, meaningful relationships with the residents," said Jennifer Huerta, President of Dallas-Fort Worth at FirstService Residential. "By getting to know residents at Pecan Square personally and actively engaging with them on the community's social media pages, Razeena and her team create an event calendar that offers something for everyone to enjoy, fostering a vibrant and connected community."
The lifestyle programming at Pecan Square includes a mix of social, recreational, and charitable activities. Residents enjoy signature events such as Puh-Kahn Festival and the Freedom Fest. Events such as Adult Prom Night and Basket Case Race (adult egg hunt), raise money for the community's philanthropy, the Tarrant Area Food Bank. Ongoing activities include a children's community garden and a week-long lineup of daily events for kids during spring break.
The team collaborates with local organizations, including the Northlake Police Department on events like the Golf Cart and Bicycle Rodeo and Denton County ESD #1 on events like National Night Out. Additionally, food trucks visit the community two to three times per week.
Pecan Square's vibrant lifestyle is further enhanced by its strong social media presence, which fosters relationships and keeps residents informed and engaged. Resident-led initiatives also contribute to the community's dynamic atmosphere, with five to eight resident-run activities taking place each month for more than 30 community clubs and organizations including knitting workshop, Bible study, Pickleball league, book club, and Bunco.
"Living here in Pecan Square and being one of the original Pioneers has all of the various events like the Pecan Square Littles and the Father Daughter Dance! From enjoying the massive new pool on the hilltop, the new park with the climbing wall, or just hanging with friends at the Arena. Our family is always finding many ways to enjoy the community!" remarked Marcos Gallegos, resident of Pecan Square.
