What is The Grove in North Richland Hills?

The Grove is a gated Graham Hart Home Builder community off Shady Grove Road in North Richland Hills, Texas 76182, with homes from the $800s ranging from 2,900 to 4,300 square feet and a homeowners association assessment of $1,650 a year. It is one of the smaller new-construction opportunities in northeast Tarrant County, in an area where most of the ground was built out decades ago. This page states what the builder publishes, what a third-party news source reported, and — just as importantly — the one fact we will not state because we could not verify it.

What does The Grove offer?

The $1,650 annual assessment is the figure to ask questions about first, not because it is high for a gated community — it is not — but because in a gated community the association owns and maintains the gate, the entry drive, and usually the interior streets, and those are the line items that drive future increases. Ask what the association's reserve study says before you rely on the current number.

How many homes are in The Grove?

Graham Hart does not publish lot counts for any of its communities, so any number you see attached to The Grove comes from somewhere else and should be treated accordingly. Community Impact reported on September 4, 2025 that the development comprises 47 lots on roughly 35 acres, shared between Maykus Homes and Graham Hart. Smaller figures that circulate for The Grove — including one that appeared in our own earlier material — most likely describe Graham Hart's share of those 47 lots rather than the community total. We are not going to reconcile the two by guessing which is which. If the count matters to your decision, and in a small community it reasonably might, ask the builder for the recorded plat. The plat is the only document that settles it.

The two-builder structure is worth understanding on its own terms. In a shared community, architectural standards and the association documents typically govern both builders, but product, price, and finish level can differ meaningfully from one side of the street to the other. Ask which lots belong to which builder before you fall in love with a homesite.

Which school district serves The Grove?

We are not going to tell you, because we could not verify it, and a school-district claim is not something to be approximately right about. Here is the situation in full. North Richland Hills is split among multiple independent school districts — Keller, Birdville, and Hurst-Euless-Bedford all serve parts of the city — so the district cannot be inferred from the city name. When we searched the Tarrant Appraisal District roll for the community's published address on Shady Grove Road, the address returned no property record, which is ordinary for a new community whose lots have not yet been individually assessed. The nearest parcel we could read on the same road sits in Keller ISD, but a neighboring account is corroboration, not proof, and district boundaries do not follow street frontage reliably.

So: confirm the district on the specific lot address, with the district itself, in writing, before you make a school-based decision. A district's own attendance-boundary lookup is the source that counts. A brochure is not, our page is not, and a listing remark is not. We would rather be the page that tells you how to get the right answer than the page that gets it wrong confidently.

Why does a small infill community exist in North Richland Hills at all?

Because there is almost no undeveloped land left there. North Richland Hills is a mature mid-cities suburb between Fort Worth and the DFW airport corridor, and it built out through the second half of the twentieth century. What comes to market now is infill — a 35-acre remainder tract, a repurposed parcel, a piece of land that was passed over the first time. That scarcity is the reason a new home in this location prices in the $800s while a comparable new home farther out on the edge of the metroplex does not. You are paying for a finished location with established roads, established retail, and a short drive to both downtown Fort Worth and the airport, rather than for the house alone.

What should you verify before you write an offer?

1. Get the recorded plat and confirm which lots are Graham Hart's and which are Maykus Homes'.
2. Confirm the school district on the specific lot address with the district's own boundary lookup, in writing.
3. Read the homeowners association declaration and the current budget. In a gated community, ask specifically who owns the streets and the gate, and what the reserve for them looks like.
4. Confirm the $1,650 annual assessment in writing, along with any transfer or capitalization fee due at closing — those are separate from dues and are often missed in a buyer's cost estimate.
5. Read the builder's contract before you sign it. It is the builder's own paper, not a TREC form, and the differences are structural rather than cosmetic — our page on how a builder's contract differs from a TREC form covers what changes.
6. Ask whether the community sits in a municipal utility district or public improvement district. If it does, Texas law requires specific written notice before you are bound, and the remedy for a missing notice can include termination — see our page on MUD and PID notices.

How does The Grove compare to Graham Hart's other communities?

Graham Hart builds across a wide band of North Texas price points, and The Grove sits toward the upper middle of it. Park Hill in Colleyville starts at $3 million and above. Waterfall Ranch in Waxahachie starts in the low $600s on a full acre, outside city limits. The Grove starts in the $800s on a city lot in a gated, built-out location. The Grove is the choice when the location matters more to you than the acreage — you are buying into a finished suburb rather than a growing edge. The rest of the builder's North Texas communities, and how we work with them, are on our Graham Hart page.

How we can help

We represent buyers in builder communities. That matters in new construction because the paperwork belongs to the builder and the person in the model home works for the builder. Register us with you on your first visit — most builders honor broker representation only if your agent is present or registered at that first contact, and it does not raise your price. From there we read the contract, we price the community against comparable Tarrant County new construction, and we confirm the facts that a brochure gets wrong. If you are early in the process, our new construction guide covers what changes when you buy a home that has not been built yet.

How we sourced this

Builder, location, price band, home size, homeowners association dues, and gated access are as published by Graham Hart Home Builder. The 47-lot, approximately 35-acre, two-builder figure is as reported by Community Impact on September 4, 2025. School district is deliberately not stated: the community's published Shady Grove Road address returned no record on the Tarrant Appraisal District roll at the time of verification, and North Richland Hills is served by more than one independent school district, so no district could be verified at a district source. Verified August 2026 and current as of that date. Pricing, plans, availability, dues, lot counts, and district boundaries are set by others and change without notice; confirm every figure before you rely on it.
