Location is key in this Denton neighborhood

Conveniently located along Interstate 35, Pecan Creek is an ideal neighborhood for anyone who wants a quiet area with an easy commute. “It’s close to I-35,” says Marla Carrico, the Broker and owner of Carrico and Associates. “The access is easy, but without the busyness of an urban area.” The homes themselves can be a great draw as well, with planned subdivisions crossing the neighborhood and access to the Timberlinks Golf Course located in the northern section of the neighborhood. The Preserve at Pecan Creek is the main homeowners association in the neighborhood. “They’ve got a nice HOA with pools, parks and all that kind of stuff,” says Carrico. “There’s also some little sub-neighborhoods.” The community also has access to a nature preserve around the neighborhood. “It’s kind of all around the perimeter, so you’re not walking next to a freeway,” Carrico says. Downtown Denton is about six and a half miles from the neighborhood, so residents can participate in city events while remaining in quiet suburbia.

Private HOA pools, veteran memorial park and a rail-trail

The Preserve at Pecan Creek has a private community pool and playgrounds within the neighborhood, but all residents can explore Specialist Ernest W. Dallas Jr. Veterans Memorial Park.

It’s a beautiful nature preserve.
