Aubrey has built its identity around horse country charm even as it’s grown fast — rolling, oak-studded land that was once peanut farms now hosts a mix of large-acreage properties and new subdivisions, most notably Sandbrock Ranch, all about 12 miles northeast of Denton. For buyers, that means two very different kinds of home for sale exist side by side here: a half-acre-plus equestrian property and a standard suburban lot, often in the same school district and at overlapping price points.
As your buyer’s agent, we work only for you. Texas law requires a signed representation agreement before we can tour homes or advise on an offer, and we walk through exactly what that means at our first conversation. If this is your first purchase, that same clarity carries through as a first-time home buyer from pre-approval to closing.

Aubrey sits in northeastern Denton County, about 12 miles northeast of Denton itself, with easy highway access toward Frisco, Little Elm, and DFW International Airport. Aubrey ISD serves not just Aubrey but Providence Village, Krugerville, and Cross Roads, so two homes a few miles apart may share the same district even across city lines — useful to know if you’re comparing listings loosely labeled “Aubrey.”
Sandbrock Ranch is the community most buyers ask about by name — a master-planned neighborhood built around trails, amenity centers, and family-oriented programming. Buyers who want land rather than a subdivision lot will find Aubrey’s surrounding areas dotted with equestrian properties and acreage lots, with several public golf courses — BlackHorse, Cypress Lakes, and Timber Creek among them — rounding out the lifestyle draw. If you’re comparing Aubrey against nearby options, we also work regularly in Denton, Little Elm, and Frisco, and can walk you through how each compares on price, lot size, and commute.
What draws most buyers to Aubrey specifically is value per acre — a lot size that would be unaffordable in Frisco or west McKinney is often realistic here, especially outside the Sandbrock Ranch core. That trade-off comes with a longer drive to the nearest large retail center and a more rural feel day to day, which suits some buyers perfectly and doesn’t suit others — it’s one of the first things we talk through before showing you anything.
Buying in Aubrey often means deciding between a subdivision lot and an acreage or equestrian property, and that decision changes your financing conversation early — larger-acreage purchases can involve different loan products and appraisal considerations than a standard suburban mortgage. We help you understand which path fits your goals and budget before you fall for a listing that doesn’t finance the way you’d expect.
From there we manage the rest: scheduling a professional home inspection — especially important on acreage properties with wells, septic systems, or outbuildings — coordinating with your lender, and keeping paperwork on track through closing. Our goal is that the only thing left for you to do is get the keys.
"Karen Cleveland at Astra Realty made our home buying experience seamless! She was incredibly timely in answering our questions and offered helpful guidance throughout the home buying process. It was great to get to know her as a person as well as a realtor. We can’t say enough about how happy we are that we went with Karen and Astra Realty!"
"Dyan was our realtor and she was amazing! We got our dream home and she was willing to work lots of extra incentives from the buyer. We also got our house for 15k less than asking price👀 All in all, we would totally recommend her to anyone searching for a realtor. We will be using her again if we ever buy again in the future. Thank you Dyan!"
"Leslie Remy is without a doubt the best realtor I have ever worked with. She is dedicated, enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable and an expert in her field. Thanks to her great skill set, we got a full asking price offer on our house in six days (in a market where most homes are sitting for 40 to 50 days)."
Aubrey’s growth is part of the broader push of DFW’s housing boom into northeastern Denton County, as buyers priced out of Frisco and McKinney look for more land and lower price points within a reasonable commute. That steady demand — plus easy access to the Plano and Frisco job corridor and DFW Airport — is part of what our team, led by broker Leslie Remy, tracks when evaluating an investment property or a long-term buy in Aubrey. Dallas-Fort Worth has been the country’s top metro for corporate headquarters relocations for seven straight years, and while Aubrey itself isn’t a corporate hub, it functions as an affordable home base for workers commuting into Denton, Frisco, and the wider North Texas job market — the same dynamic that has driven growth in nearly every city on this list.
Buying acreage or a rural-adjacent property involves questions a standard suburban purchase doesn’t — water rights, septic and well inspections, easements, and how a property’s zoning affects future use. Astra Realty helps you ask the right questions and negotiate with that context in mind, keeping our negotiation experience and local market knowledge working in your favor from offer to closing. That’s true whether you’re negotiating repairs after a well inspection, comparing incentives across new-construction phases in Sandbrock Ranch, or simply deciding if a listed acreage property is realistically buildable for what you have planned.
We start with a conversation to understand your goals, timeline, and priorities.
We identify opportunities, review options, and align next steps based on your needs.
We guide the offer process and manage details to keep everything on track.
We coordinate timelines, paperwork, and final steps through closing day.
Yes. We guide first-time buyers through every step — pre-approval, touring, offers, inspection, and closing — whether you’re buying a subdivision home or your first acreage property.
Yes — Aubrey is one of the few places this close to Denton and Frisco where acreage and equestrian-zoned properties are still realistically available, alongside newer subdivisions like Sandbrock Ranch for buyers who want more standard suburban living.
Aubrey ISD, which serves Aubrey, Providence Village, Krugerville, and Cross Roads.
Aubrey is about 12 miles northeast of Denton, with reasonably direct highway access to DFW International Airport for buyers who travel for work.
As of January 1, 2026, Texas law (SB 1968) requires a signed written agreement with your buyer’s agent before touring homes, with compensation spelled out in specific terms. In most Aubrey transactions the fee is negotiated as part of the deal and often covered by the seller — we explain your specific situation upfront.
Sandbrock Ranch offers amenities, trails, and a more traditional HOA-governed subdivision experience. An acreage property trades those amenities for privacy, land, and often the ability to keep horses — but comes with different financing, inspection, and maintenance considerations we walk you through.
Yes. We work with investors evaluating both subdivision and acreage opportunities here.
Larger lots, wells, septic systems, and outbuildings can affect which loan products apply and how the property appraises. We flag this early so you’re pre-approved for the right kind of purchase, not just a number.
Nothing formal — a general sense of your budget, timeline, and priorities is enough to get started.
