It also offers tennis, pickleball and pool amenities. Cress Creek Commons is the community’s pool, managed by Cress Creek’s homeowners association and accessed by those holding Bathe and Raquet Club Memberships.

Cress Creek features a mix of housing styles, so people can find the size and location they prefer. Houses lining the country club feature a mix of siding Colonials and new builds customized to the owner’s taste and personality. Trees hang over the streets, shading the sidewalks and pavement, and add a pop of gold and scarlet in the fall. Lawns are well-kept, with landscaped gardens adding more character to properties. The south side of the neighborhood features condos and townhouses, offering options for people looking for less space and more affordable options still close to the golf course. “The price of homes range from $175,000 for condos and up to $2 million if it backs up to the course,” Burrell says.
