We are thrilled to announce that Heartland Community has been awarded the prestigious title of Community of the Year in Category IV for communities with over 3,000 units.

Spanning 1,541 acres and featuring over 4,030 homes with plans to expand to 5,400 homes, Heartland has truly become a beacon of inclusivity and excellence in Kaufman County.
Our unwavering commitment to education, highlighted by the Heartland Education Foundation, plays a pivotal role in our community. The Foundation, funded through home resales, supports educational programs and initiatives within the Crandall Independent School District. Notably, it has significantly contributed to the construction of the Junior Achievement Center.
Heartland’s amenities are designed to enhance the quality of life for our residents. From resort-style pools and over 400 acres of parks to walking trails and bike paths, there is something for everyone. The Oasis, our state-of-the-art facility, features a 6,000-square-foot fitness center, an Olympic-sized pool with water slides, and more, offering residents a place to relax and enjoy.
We are equally proud to celebrate Inspiration Community, which was awarded Community of the Year in Category III for communities with 1,500 to 2,999 units. This award underscores the exceptional community spirit and quality of life that Inspiration offers its residents. Inspiration, developed by Huffines Communities, is nestled in the heart of St. Paul, Texas, and is home to over 1,700 residences. The community is known for its diversity and inclusivity, as well as its picturesque setting and robust array of amenities.
From two resort-style pools and four parks to pickleball courts and indoor and outdoor gyms, Inspiration provides residents with ample opportunities for recreation, relaxation, and social interaction. The community also features a basketball court and a unique Kangaroo Pad, ensuring that there is something for everyone. The dedicated on-site team at Inspiration goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and satisfaction of every resident, fostering a sense of belonging and community spirit that is truly unparalleled.
We are thrilled to recognize Shonna, who received the Community Spirit Award for organizing the Monster’s Ball Halloween Event at another community. We are delighted to welcome Shonna to our HOA team at Solterra, where her creativity and dedication continue to enhance our vibrant community spirit.
