Evers Property
The Evers Property, located at the intersection of N. Elm Street and W. Windsor Drive, was sold by descendants of the Evers family to developers in 2023. The site is now being built out as a 450-unit apartment community. As part of the approved development agreement between the developer and Denton County, 10.2 acres of the property will be deeded to Denton County once the developer completes construction of a perimeter trail. At that point, the County will assume full ownership and responsibility for managing and maintaining the land and any existing structures within those 10.2 acres.
