Ladera at The Reserve, Mansfield, TX

About Ladera at The Reserve

Ladera at The Reserve is in Mansfield, in the Fort Worth & Western Metroplex region of Texas. Developer: Ladera Living. Status: Currently selling. Marketed as a 55+ active-adult community; the age and occupancy rules are set in its governing documents.

Ladera at The Reserve is a gated community in Mansfield built by Ladera Living, a builder that markets all of its Dallas-Fort Worth communities as 55+ active adult neighborhoods. The community page gives a sales office at 2502 Ventura Boulevard, Mansfield, Texas 76063, describes the community as having only 157 homesites, and says that while some neighborhoods are still waiting to come to life, The Reserve is already occupied and holds a regular social calendar. Quick move-in homes are listed alongside some that are already sold, so the community is selling rather than complete or sold out as of October 9, 2026.

The homes are single-story, with floor plans on the community page ranging from 1,650 to 2,498 square feet on one level, plus one two-story plan of 2,905 square feet with three bedrooms. Most plans have two bedrooms and two baths with a two-car garage, and the community page offers a design studio for choosing finishes. The center of the community is The HUB, a clubhouse the developer describes as the place to meet friends, play games and host parties, with a smaller gathering space called The Shack that has a roll-up garage door, a resort-style pool with shade, an outdoor kitchen and entertaining area, lighted pickleball courts, a fitness studio with group exercise, walking paths, a fire pit, a putting green and a community pond.

The developer's materials position the community around a lock-and-leave lifestyle: gated entry, year-round lawn and landscape maintenance, and neighbors in a similar stage of life. The community page says that Arlington's sports, entertainment, shopping and dining are minutes away and that DFW International Airport makes travel simple. Those are the developer's descriptions of location, so test the route at the hours you would travel. In any community still being built, ask about the schedule for remaining phases, construction activity near an occupied home, and when homeowners take over the association from the developer.

Age restrictions at Ladera at The Reserve

Ladera Living markets the community as a gated 55+ community, and the developer's FAQ describes its communities as age restricted and tells buyers to review each community's by-laws before purchasing. The specific occupancy rules, how occupancy is verified and any exceptions come from the recorded community documents, which a buyer should obtain from the sales office and review before contracting. The FAQ also says grandchildren may visit and that longer stays for children under 18 may be limited, and that short-term rentals such as Airbnb and Vrbo are prohibited in Ladera communities.

HOA and fees at Ladera at The Reserve

Homeowners association dues, any one-time capital or transfer fees, and what the dues cover are available from the sales office and the community's recorded documents; request the current dues schedule and the budget in writing. The developer's pages list lawn and landscape maintenance and a gated entrance among the community's features, but the pages give no dollar amount or effective date, so no fee is stated here.

Ask also who controls the association during build-out, whether a reserve study exists for the pool, clubhouse and gates, and whether any special assessment is planned or has been levied.

The City of Mansfield lists two public improvement districts, the Staybolt Public Improvement District and the South Pointe Public Improvement District. Whether any district assessment applies to a specific Ladera at The Reserve lot should be confirmed on the title commitment and the tax statement. The community sits in a city that touches Tarrant, Johnson and Ellis counties, so the county, appraisal district and school-tax components depend on the parcel. The City of Mansfield's 2025 rate table, built for Tarrant County parcels, totals $2.25 per $100 of taxable value across the city, Mansfield ISD, Tarrant County, the hospital district and Tarrant County College.
