The Boat House community is part of the Austin Ranch development, and is located on the southwest corner of Plano Parkway and Windhaven Parkway. It has a site area of 25.223 acres and consists of 526 units distributed over a combination of two- and three-story apartment and townhome buildings.
The main concept for this community plan is the drive that encircles the existing lake, which lends an overlying organization to the entire multi-phase development.The site plan also creates multiple secondary pedestrian connections and visual corridors that link the project to its surroundings, such as the lake, open park areas, and the nature preserve area to the south. Buildings are placed strategically to reinforce these concepts and help create a walkable neighborhood.
