Welcome to Capella Cottages
Welcome to Capella Cottages — where purpose meets place, and community begins at your doorstep
In the heart of Southwest Dallas, a new kind of neighborhood is emerging — not just a place to live but to grow, connect, and thrive. Capella Cottages is a purpose-driven, tech-forward residential community inspired by proven wellness principles, cutting-edge design, and a deep commitment to quality of life.
Developed by TDJREV, LLC, Capella Cottages is a thoughtfully designed collection of 100 high-tech smart homes, ranging from 540 to 910 square feet, priced starting from $162,000 to $273,000. These homes are crafted for those seeking a simpler, more connected lifestyle, with all the benefits of modern technology, walkability, and a built-in sense of community.
Community at the Core
Capella Cottages is intentionally designed to foster relationships, create comfort, and promote wellness. Homes are organized in clusters around five distinct residential courtyards, with each home facing inward toward these shared green spaces. The result is a walkable, welcoming environment where community is built into the blueprint.
Each courtyard has its own identity — from the tranquil Zen Garden, to the food-focused Gastro Terrace, to the quiet Book Nook designed for reading and reflection. Sunset Grove invites residents to unwind in the golden hour, and the Oasis Courtyard blends modern design with firelight, swings, and shade trees. At the center of it all is the Central Station Café Courtyard, a vibrant gathering space with open-air seating, amphitheater-style steps, and space for farmers markets and live music.
These outdoor living rooms are more than amenities — they are
extensions of each home, designed to promote healthy living, casual interaction, and moments of calm or celebration.
Smart Homes, Thoughtfully Equipped
Every Capella Cottage is a modern smart home built with the latest in AI-integrated technology and energy efficiency, including:
- Voice-activated lighting, temperature, and security.
- Smart appliances with real-time monitoring.
- Wellness sensors and clean air systems.
- Centralized control via mobile apps
This smart home design makes life simpler, safer, and more sustainable, allowing residents to enjoy the benefits of modern living in a small, well-designed footprint.
