Fryers Bend, Temple TX
Fryers Bend is a recorded Temple subdivision south of FM 93 with Eagle Ridge homes. Explore its lot layout, watch Taylor’s tour and compare the construction package and ownership cost of the home you’re considering.
What does Taylor’s Fryers Bend tour cover?
The tour covers the neighborhood setting, custom-home features, an interior walkthrough and outdoor living. Use it to form questions for a visit: how the rooms connect, what the rear yard offers and which features belong to the home you would actually buy.
The video was published May 12, 2026. Its price and inventory discussion describes the spring 2026 context. Use the tour to understand the homes and setting, then check current property information separately.
Video clarification: A list-to-sale price difference does not establish seller-paid concessions; verify credits separately in the transaction records.
The tour’s neighborhood rankings, appreciation outlook and comments about doctors or income are opinions, not verified comparisons or resident data. Compare any home using its full cost, layout, condition, exact school assignment and your own route.
Where is Fryers Bend, and how are the lots arranged?
The official county-hosted final plat places Fryers Bend south of West FM Highway 93. It shows Castlerock Drive curving through the subdivision, Brookwater Court at the north end and Iron Branch Road toward the south. The plat was recorded March 10, 2022 and labels 54 lots and three tracts across 35.952 acres.
That layout makes lot position part of the buying decision. Compare the rear boundary, usable yard, neighboring lots and the driveway approach on a survey and on foot. A larger lot outline does not necessarily mean a larger area for a pool, workshop or other improvement.
The plat identifies Tract A as a common area and drainage tract, Tract B as a common-area tract, and Tract C for future city right-of-way. Those labels explain why a lot’s boundary matters. They do not establish unrestricted private use of the adjoining land or the current condition of an amenity.
For your everyday route, test the selected address to the entrance and parking you use at work, in both directions at your actual start and finish times. This guide does not substitute a neighborhood-wide drive-time estimate for that test.
Plat: recorded instrument 2022015808. Use the title company’s applicable recorded documents and the home’s current survey for the transaction.
What should you compare in a Fryers Bend home?
Seven recorded Fryers Bend closings in the October 12, 2026 CTXMLS exports ranged from $650,050 to $799,900, with a $765,000 median. Those records closed December 10, 2025–September 9, 2026. This is a selected recorded-sales cohort, not a current listing range or complete market census.
Selection: Temple residential Closed records labeled Fryers Bend, with closing dates from October 14, 2025 onward, in two exports observed October 12, 2026; seven distinct address/date/price keys. Matrix search scope was inferred rather than directly captured. The canonical daily export is dated October 8 and stale for current status.
Eagle Ridge’s 7227 Castlerock Drive page, checked October 14, 2026, identifies Fryers Bend and describes a four-bedroom, three-bath, three-car home with 3,068 square feet. It says “Contact for price.” That is a concrete example of the builder’s advertised home format; the page does not establish today’s availability, completion or sale price.
Separate buying an existing completed home from commissioning a build. For a completed home, compare the actual finish, condition, warranty documents and any remaining work. For a proposed build, compare the written plans, allowance schedule, site costs, change-order process and completion terms. A model-home feature becomes part of your purchase only when the agreement includes it.
| Compare | Get in writing | Why it affects the choice |
|---|---|---|
| The lot | Survey, applicable plat, easements, grading and drainage information, architectural approval requirements. | Whether the yard and future outdoor plans work within the actual boundaries. |
| The construction package | Specifications and allowances for foundation, insulation, HVAC, windows, cabinetry, flooring and exterior work. | Which visible features are included and which add to the price. |
| The finished price | Address-specific price, upgrades, lot premium, credits and any lender or title conditions. | The total purchase terms after selections, rather than a starting figure. |
| Completion and inspection | Expected completion, inspection access, repair process, final walkthrough and warranty coverage. | Whether the house can meet your move date and how unfinished work will be handled. |
The Eagle Ridge builder guide goes deeper on the construction package and warranty. Before a first builder visit, contact Taylor so he can check the current registration and representation policy for the home you want to see.
How should you check HOA costs, taxes and schools?
Read the restrictions with your plans in mind
The recorded Fryers Bend declaration, instrument 2024024918, sets an initial annual assessment of $1,500 per lot on page 20. That is the initial amount in the recorded document, not a verified current dues quote. Obtain the current assessment, budget, transfer and membership charges, any special assessments and the applicable association documents for the exact lot.
The declaration’s recorded Exhibit A also distinguishes Lots 7–13 from the other lots: its minimum conditioned living area is 2,800 square feet for those lots and 2,400 for the others, with a rear-yard wrought-iron fence requirement on Lots 7–13. These recorded terms make the lot number useful before you choose a plan or fence. Have the title company confirm applicable amendments and review your proposal with the association.
Declaration observations: September 25–26, 2026; pages 20 and 32. Recorded restrictions and present-day charges are separate checks.
Budget for a completed home
Request the parcel’s taxing units, current appraisal and applicable exemptions, then ask the lender which completed-home value it used in the payment estimate. A bill for land or unfinished construction can understate the cost of owning the completed house. Insurance, HOA charges and any separately billed assessments belong in the comparison too.
The previously reviewed Bell CAD sample for 6919 Castlerock Drive, parcel 512667, lists the City of Temple and Academy ISD among its taxing units. It is a named parcel example, not a subdivision-wide tax rate or campus guarantee. Start with Bell CAD’s property search and the Temple property-tax guide for the house you are considering.
Confirm the school year and address
A Temple mailing address does not by itself identify the school district or campuses. Check the parcel’s school taxing unit, then confirm the exact address and enrollment year with the district. For an address identified as Academy ISD, use the district’s own office and enrollment information. This guide does not rate schools or predict an individual student’s experience.
Which guides help you compare alternatives?
Use the same lot, finish, ownership-cost and route questions across your shortlist. These guides answer different parts of that comparison; they do not establish that one neighborhood is the right choice for everyone.
For the broader search, use the Temple new-construction guide and all neighborhood guides.
Questions about Fryers Bend
Is Fryers Bend the same thing as Eagle Ridge?
No. Fryers Bend is a recorded subdivision. Eagle Ridge is a builder with homes advertised in Fryers Bend and other communities. Use the neighborhood documents for the lot and the builder documents for the specific home.
How much do Fryers Bend homes cost?
This guide does not publish a current asking-price range. The guide’s dated recorded-sales sample, shown above, is context for a comparison. For a home today, obtain its written price and compare recent closed sales with similar size, lot and finish.
Are Fryers Bend HOA dues $1,500 a year?
The recorded declaration sets an initial annual assessment of $1,500 per lot. It does not verify the current amount. Obtain the current association documents and charges for the lot, including any transfer, membership or special assessment.
Does every Fryers Bend home have the same school assignment?
This guide establishes no blanket campus assignment. The previously checked 6919 Castlerock Drive parcel lists Academy ISD as a taxing unit. Confirm the exact address, district and campuses for your enrollment year with the district.
Can I rely on the video for current inventory?
The video is a neighborhood tour published May 12, 2026. Homes, prices, construction progress and availability may have changed. Bring Taylor the address you are considering so the current listing and builder information can be checked.
