DALLAS – July 20, 2026 — Woodland Cottages Sherman, a new pet-friendly, active adult (55+) independent living community located at 3306 W. Houston St., Sherman, TX 75092, is nearing completion and will officially complete construction in August. The 84-cottage community is designed to combine the privacy and comfort of a single-family home with the convenience of a vibrant, amenity-rich neighborhood, offering active adults a maintenance-free independent living lifestyle.

Select residences include private fenced backyards for pets, while all two-bedroom cottages feature attached single-car garages.
“Sherman is experiencing tremendous growth, and we’re excited to bring a new housing option that gives active adults the opportunity to enjoy an independent, maintenance-free lifestyle without sacrificing the comfort and privacy of home,” said Ed Garahan, Partner and Chief Executive Officer at Carbon Companies. “Woodland Cottages was designed to foster connection, convenience, and peace of mind, and we’re proud to welcome our first residents.”
Residents will enjoy immediate access to an amenity-rich clubhouse featuring a fitness center with group exercise classes, a game room, a swimming pool, and an outdoor pickleball court. Additional amenities include a gated entrance, professionally maintained landscaping, full-time on-site staff, and a robust calendar of social events designed to foster connection, wellness, and active living.
“We’re excited to open the doors and welcome residents to a community that feels like home from day one,” said Mark Matise, Partner at Carbon Shepherd Development. “Woodland Cottages Sherman is about creating a place where people can remain active, build meaningful relationships, and enjoy the freedom that comes with maintenance-free living.”
To celebrate the completion of the community, Woodland Cottages Sherman will host a Grand Opening Celebration on Thursday, August 13, inviting residents, prospective residents, families, community partners, and local leaders to tour the property and experience everything the community has to offer.
