Kenton's honest take

Chaparral's strength is value. You get a private residents' lake and a genuine family community for noticeably less than Mahogany or Auburn Bay.

The honest tradeoff is location and scale. You are well south, so drive your commute first, and the amenity footprint is smaller than the newer flagship lakes. For the price, many families find that a fair trade.
