Deer Ridge rolls along Griswold Springs Road south of the Fox River — custom homes on acreage at the top of the Plano-area market, with recent activity reaching the high $600s and buildable lots still trading.
Deer Ridge occupies the wooded rise south of the Fox River off Sandy Bluff and Griswold Springs Roads — Plano-area addresses in a setting that reads as country: custom homes on large parcels, long sightlines, and Silver Springs State Fish & Wildlife Area effectively across the river. This is the top of the local market by price, and it trades accordingly — rarely, and to buyers who were waiting for it.
Public sources disagree on the neighborhood’s exact build history — MLS-fed aggregators date most homes 1996–2018, while at least one local source describes the area as established decades earlier — which is consistent with what the ground shows: original homesteads alongside newer customs, including homes past 4,700 square feet. Buildable lots still list here periodically, most recently around $75K.
Recent activity frames the market: closed sales approaching $680K and current asking prices near $700K at the top, with the school assignment running to Sandwich CUSD 430 per MLS-fed sources. As everywhere on the river side of town, wells, septic, flood mapping, and survey belong in every diligence file — and comps are scarce enough that local pricing judgment matters more than averages.
