Looking for New Homes Near Mansfield? Here’s Why Folks Pick Goodland.

Published July 21, 2026

Goodland is a new community taking shape on the south side of DFW, right between Midlothian and Mansfield, built around trails, lakes, and the kind of outdoor life that’s hard to find this close to the city. 

At home in DFW’s new southern gateway

Goodland is in a prime position, out where there’s room to breathe, but easily accessible to everywhere you need and prefer to be. If you’ve been searching for new homes near Mansfield, you’ll be glad to know the highway access to U.S. 287 and the new
360 Tollway makes it easy to reach Grand Prairie, Dallas, Fort Worth and beyond, so you’re not always giving up your evenings to a grueling drive home. And now that Goodland Parkway is open, coming and going is even smoother than before. 

Local nature, conveniences and attractions? We’re close to those, too. For example, Joe Pool Lake is right around the corner, medical facilities are nearby, The DORBA trail is a short drive away and dining and shopping are a stone’s throw from home. (With more planned to be built right here in the community.)

There’s a home here for however you want to live.

Four builders. Two villages. Prices from the mid $300s up to $700s and beyond. That’s a good bit of choice under one roof, so to speak, which means you’re not settling for whatever’s left on the lot. First home, forever home or somewhere in between, there’s a fit here. Builders are also running incentives right now, so it’s a nice time to come take a look and talk numbers. Explore home choices from Beazer Homes, David Weekley Homes, Grand Homes, and Highland Homes with our homefinder.

The amenities are already here, and there’s more on the way.

The Hangout is open now, and it’s already the spot where neighbors gather, splash, lay out and even play fetch in a huge dog park with one area for big floofs and one for small. Soon, The Picklebarn pickleball courts and bocce ball will be ready for action. Next year, The Retreat opens up and becomes the new heart of the community. The trails keep stretching further. The ponds are open and lovely for an evening walk. This isn’t a community you’re waiting on, it’s one that’s already coming together, a little more each season.

Kids will be able to walk to school.

Midlothian Independent School District has a new neighborhood school planned to open for the 2027 to 2028 school year, right here in Goodland. However your kid wants to get there, biking, walking or that in-between shuffle-skip thing kids do, they’ll be able to get there on their own two feet.

This is a town in the making

There’s always something new taking shape at Goodland, and it’s all headed in the same direction: making life here easier and better. A handpicked mix of shops, eats and conveniences are in the works to bring daily errands and necessities closer to home. The school is coming. And the amenities keep growing. Which means when you move here, you’re not just buying a house, you’re becoming part of a town that’s still taking shape.
