Water Dance

Water Dance, with the adjacent Wooden Canoe at Water Dance, is one of Frisco's premier luxury enclaves, a small collection of custom homes near the Peninsula Recreation Area and the Frisco Nordic Center on the town's southern edge. Defined as much by its scarcity as by its setting, with two private fishing ponds and direct trail and Nordic access.

STR Waitlisted

Town of Frisco (25% of housing stock, 900-license cap reached; active waitlist, roughly 12 to 14 months as of early 2026)

Frisco's single STR license type is non-transferable on sale, so a new owner starts fresh on the waitlist. License $250/year, renews April 30, total STR tax 15.725%. Covenants and any HOA obligations may add their own limits; given how rarely homes here trade, treat this as a primary lifestyle asset rather than a rental-income play.

Water Dance sits on the southern edge near the Peninsula and the Nordic Center. The free Summit Stage bus and the 55-mile rec path are close at hand, and the central Frisco location still puts six ski resorts within roughly 30 minutes, but the enclave itself is quiet and set back from the transit core.

Among the most expensive and least available neighborhoods in Frisco. Listings are infrequent by nature, and a buyer often waits for the right home to surface rather than choosing among several at once.

Water Dance, including the adjacent Wooden Canoe at Water Dance, is one of Frisco's premier luxury enclaves, a small collection of custom homes set near the Peninsula Recreation Area and the Frisco Nordic Center on the town's southern edge. It pairs lakeside proximity with direct access to trails and Nordic terrain, and it is defined as much by its scarcity as by its setting.

This is a community where a buyer often waits for the right home rather than choosing among several.

What makes this neighborhood unique

Of all the places to own in Frisco, Water Dance is among the few where the home itself, rather than the town around it, is the headline. The enclave sits near the Peninsula Recreation Area and the Frisco Nordic Center on the southern edge of town, pairing lakeside proximity with direct access to trails and the Nordic Center's 30 kilometers of groomed winter terrain. It is defined as much by its scarcity as by its setting.

The homes are high-end single-family residences and a handful of duplexes, built for craftsmanship and view, with expansive decks framing the Tenmile Range and Dillon Reservoir. Listings are infrequent by nature: this is a small, finite enclave where a buyer often waits for the right home to surface rather than choosing among several at once. That rhythm rewards patience and a relationship with someone watching the market closely, because the window on a given home can be short.

The neighborhood's two private fishing ponds and its position against the Peninsula open space give it a quieter, more secluded character than the in-town grid, while the Nordic Center makes winter as much a part of the address as summer on the lake. From here the Peninsula trails, the rec path, and the marina are all close at hand, and the same central Frisco location that puts six ski resorts within thirty minutes applies just as it does downtown.

The diligence here is about access rights and scarcity, not rental yield. Pond and open-space access rights, along with covenants and any HOA obligations, are worth confirming for the specific property. Short-term rental sits under Frisco's reached town cap and active waitlist with a non-transferable license, but given how rarely these homes trade and how they are held, the right frame is a primary lifestyle retreat, not a rental-income strategy.
