Fate, Texas, master-planned community surrounded by amenities
Woodcreek sits at the heart of the semi-rural and fast-growing town of Fate, Texas. Amenities abound in and around this northeastern Texas exurb that’s several miles east of Lake Ray Hubbard. "The Woodcreek area offers a suburban lifestyle geared toward families," says Heather Sims, broker/owner of the Elysian Agency. "It’s a master-planned community with swimming pools, parks and walkability to highly-rated schools." Developed in the 1970s, Woodcreek has expanded to a dozen neighborhoods and thousands of residents who enjoy exclusive perks and recreation. Downtown Fate is within walking distance, and proximity to Interstate 30 provides access to downtown Rockwall, Dallas and beyond.
Woodcreek has neatly lined rows of new homes in its big neighborhood.

Twelve neighborhoods within an amenity-rich community
The master-planned Woodcreek offers a mix of home designs from 10 builders, each with multiple construction phases, layouts and price ranges. There are 12 neighborhoods within the community, including Lakeside, Weston Hills and Eastside. "There are a lot of different types of homes in this area,” Sims says. “The homes sell quickly, too, if priced right and marketed well." Traditional single-family houses with stately brick and stone facades fill the tree-lined streets. Most were built in the mid-2000s, but some were built as recently as 2023 and 2024. Prices range from the high-$200,000s for a 1,700-square-foot three-bedroom to the low-$800,000s for a 4,000-square-foot four- or five-bedroom. The average lot size is around 10,000 square feet, but many lots can span over a quarter acre. Almost all homes have multi-car garages, paved driveways and landscaped lawns. Some higher-priced houses have in-ground pools, private gates, workshops and barns. Community amenities include a clubhouse, pool, splash pad, trails, several pocket parks and pickleball courts. Woodcreek also has a fitness center, playground, two dog parks, a putting green and a soccer field. A large lake sits at Woodcreek’s entrance, with a fishing dock and surrounding walking paths that wind throughout the community. Sims mentioned that homebuyers should know Woodcreek is in a Municipal Utility District (MUD), a subdivision governed by a board of directors elected by the residents. MUDs finance the subdivision’s water, sewer and drainage facilities. "MUDs add extra property taxes of around $1,000 each year,” she says. Many residents are within walking and biking distance of community amenities, a city park, two elementary schools and one middle school.
