Welcome to Westfork Development
Westfork is a real estate investment company headed by well-known syndicator and developer, Bob Farris. The company specializes in the development of Texas residential communities in niche markets within the growth path of prime and sub-prime markets. These are often close to larger metropolitan areas, known as the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA), and include Dallas, Ft. Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Waco, etc..
Westfork targets properties in areas of population and economic growth with employment opportunities; appreciating housing markets; essential community services, including fire and police protection, medical facilities; education, shopping, and social and cultural opportunities.
Westfork recognizes there is a new niche market in real estate. The American dream of home ownership is now seen in the rearview mirror. For most young couples, being able to purchase and maintain a home is only a distant vision. For seniors who want to stay in the home where they have lived many years, and perhaps reared their children, rising insurance costs and property taxes are outpacing their fixed retirement budgets.
Westfork is addressing the need for affordable housing with the development of RV and cottage communities. Mr. Farris believes that lifestyle is not determined by the size of the home. Rather it is the upscale setting, amenities, and secure environment that makes the difference in drab vs. beautiful.
To that end, Mr. Farris is developing gated communities that will be both affordable as well as beautiful, exciting places to live.
Westfork favors properties that can be developed with a "back to nature atmosphere" where home sites are built within the natural beauty of the land. Trees, ponds, and creeks along with improvements, such as walking trails, dog parks, and pickle ball courts project an air of both serenity and fun. A focal point is a spacious community center with an exercise area, small library, and a large meeting room for events, hanging out, board games, dances, and book club meetings. Outside are public restrooms and laundry along with storage units. Walking trails run along the fenced perimeter.
