If you want a brand-new home in Canyon ISD without going far past $300,000, Beacon Pointe belongs on your short list. The south Amarillo neighborhood sits near Sundown Lane and Western Street in ZIP code 79118. Two production builders are active there right now: BLUEHAVEN Homes and Betenbough Homes. As of October 31, 2026, their advertised starting prices are in the mid-$200,000s.

On Homes.com's Amarillo new-construction page, Beacon Pointe shows up twice. BLUEHAVEN lists homes from $243,000 to $306,000, and Betenbough's Heritage Collection runs $247,950 to $295,000.

Where Beacon Pointe Is and What's Nearby

Beacon Pointe sits on the south side of Amarillo, close to the Sundown Lane and Western Street corridor. Western Street gives you a straight run north to I-27, Loop 335 and the shopping around Westgate and Soncy. Betenbough's community page points to everyday stops like Spicy Mike's, Joe Taco, 5 Senses, a Walmart Neighborhood Market and Market Street. BLUEHAVEN's page adds Cinergy, Walk-On's and urgent care from BSA. Commutes to the medical district, downtown and Canyon are all reasonable for south Amarillo.

One data quirk: Homes.com labels Betenbough's Beacon Pointe listing as "Timbercreek Canyon, TX 79118," while both builders list the community as Amarillo, TX 79118. City limits and taxing units decide your tax bill. Before you budget, look up the exact lot on the Potter-Randall Appraisal District map.

Schools: The Randall High Feeder Pattern

BLUEHAVEN lists Beacon Pointe's Canyon ISD feeder pattern as:

Level School (per BLUEHAVEN)
Elementary Sundown Lane Elementary
Intermediate Pinnacle Intermediate
Junior high Randall Junior High
High school Randall High School

BLUEHAVEN notes that Canyon ISD earned an overall "B" in the Texas Education Agency's 2025 accountability ratings. Attendance zones can be redrawn as south Amarillo grows, so confirm the zone for your specific address with Canyon ISD and check current campus ratings on TXschools.gov.

Move-In Ready Homes Listed in Beacon Pointe

These BLUEHAVEN homes were listed as move-in ready when we checked. They show how prices step up with size:

Address List price Approx. sq. ft.

4302 Sunset Dr. $289,000 1,700
4403 Monarch $289,000 —
4411 Houlette St. $289,000 —

Inventory moves quickly. Ask the builder or your agent for the current list before you tour.

The math is simple. A 1,470-square-foot home at $259,750 works out to about $177 per square foot, below Homes.com's Amarillo new-construction average of $194. Bigger plans cost more in total, but they often cost less per square foot, so compare both numbers.

BLUEHAVEN vs. Betenbough in Beacon Pointe

BLUEHAVEN Homes is a family-owned builder that traces its roots to 1954 and says it has built more than 2,400 homes. Its standard features include spray-foam insulation, Low-E windows, granite or quartz counters and Moen fixtures. Beacon Pointe has 9 BLUEHAVEN plans, all with two baths, so the floor plans are simple and easy to compare.

Betenbough Homes brings its Heritage Collection to Beacon Pointe, with layouts up to about 2,050 square feet and up to three baths. That's useful if you need a third bath or a bigger family room without moving up to Heritage Hills pricing. Betenbough describes the neighborhood as offering "diverse home styles from a variety of builders." If you're comparing builders, tour both model homes on the same day.

Betenbough's company overview, including its build process and lender programs, is covered in a separate OnDemand Realty guide. This article sticks to Beacon Pointe.

Financing Notes: USDA, FHA and Builder Incentives

  • USDA eligibility: BLUEHAVEN's Beacon Pointe listings say the area is eligible for USDA loans, which can mean $0 down for buyers who meet the income limits. Check the exact address on the USDA eligibility map.
  • Preferred lender incentives: BLUEHAVEN advertised up to $8,000 in seller concessions on move-in ready homes and up to $5,000 on homes under construction through October 31, 2026, using its preferred lender. Ask what replaces that offer and compare it with a quote from an outside lender.
  • FHA and down payment assistance: BLUEHAVEN's FAQ mentions FHA financing and down payment assistance programs. Betenbough also promotes low- and $0-down options through its lending partners.

Beacon Pointe's builder pricing sits $40,000 to $65,000 below the Amarillo median for a new 3-bedroom home. That's why it's a common first stop for first-time buyers, military and medical relocations, and investors who want a new rental in Canyon ISD.

Warranty Coverage

BLUEHAVEN Homes backs every home with a 1-, 2-, and 10-year warranty: one year on workmanship, two years on systems, and ten years on structural components, according to the builder's own FAQ (BLUEHAVEN Homes). BLUEHAVEN also runs a local warranty request process, and several online reviews mention in-house techs handling drywall cracks, door latches and cabinet adjustments after move-in. Ask for the written warranty booklet before you sign so you know response times, what counts as an emergency, and what is excluded, such as normal settlement cracks or homeowner maintenance items.

Betenbough Homes uses a comprehensive two-year express warranty instead of the one-year workmanship coverage most builders give. Its warranty guide says it covers "everything we installed in the home," parts and labor, for two years, excluding neglect, improper maintenance, or abuse. Structural elements are covered for ten years from closing through the third-party 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. The warranty team schedules a 30-day orientation and an 11-month check-up, and coverage transfers automatically if you sell during the two-year period (Betenbough warranty guide, PDF). Structural claims have strict reporting deadlines and an investigation fee that is refunded if the defect is covered, so read that section closely.

For context, Homes.com's Amarillo new-construction FAQ says most builders provide a 1-year workmanship warranty, a 2-year systems warranty, and a 10-year structural warranty. Treat that as the baseline you compare each builder against.

Who Beacon Pointe Fits Best

  • First-time buyers who want new construction and Canyon ISD schools near the $250,000 mark.
  • Buyers using USDA or FHA loans who need a low down payment.
  • Families zoned for Randall High who don't want to pay Pinnacle-level prices nearby.
  • Investors who want a low-maintenance 3-bedroom rental with a builder warranty.

Watch-outs: lots in production neighborhoods are smaller, standard landscaping may be minimal, and homes still under construction mean living near active building for a while. Ask about HOA dues and deed restrictions, because neither builder's community page lists them.

Step by Step: How to Buy New Construction in Beacon Pointe

  1. Get preapproved and check USDA eligibility. Ask your lender to run FHA, conventional and USDA scenarios, then look up the street on the USDA map.
  2. Bring your agent on the first visit. Most builders require your agent to register with you at your first model visit. If you walk in alone, you may not be able to have representation later.
  3. Tour both builders' models. Start at BLUEHAVEN's model at 4709 Beacon Rd., then visit Betenbough's Heritage Collection homes to compare layouts, finishes and lot sizes.
  4. Compare move-in ready and to-be-built homes. Move-in ready homes close quickly and often carry bigger concessions. To-be-built homes let you choose finishes but take months.
  5. Confirm schools, taxes and HOA. Check the attendance zone with Canyon ISD, the taxing units with PRAD, and any HOA dues in writing.
  6. Compare incentive offers. Put the builder's preferred-lender incentive next to an outside lender's quote and look at the true cash-to-close.
  7. Order independent inspections. Book a pre-drywall inspection if the home isn't finished, a final inspection before closing, and an 11-month warranty inspection.
  8. Close, then file your homestead exemption. After closing, file your residence homestead exemption with the Potter-Randall Appraisal District.
