Canyon Creek
Homes overlooking the golf course
As an established neighborhood, there are many original homes from the 1960s and '70s, although some have been torn down and replaced with new construction. “Some homes are being remodeled or added to,” Shortino says. “There’s quite a bit of that happening in the neighborhood.” There are a lot of different styles, including smaller ranch-styles, larger contemporary houses and Spanish-style homes with red tile roofs. There is also some multi-family housing near the golf course, including townhouses. Single-family homes range from the low $400,000s to the high millions, depending on size, style and how recently the home was built or renovated. Homes closer to the country club and Prairie Creek tend to have a higher price. Condos and townhouses run from the low $200,000s to the mid $500,000s.Split between two highly-rated school districts
Lookout Drive splits the neighborhood; on the northern side, homes are zoned to Plano Independent School District and on the southern border, they are zoned to Richardson Independent School District. “Plano and Richardson are both highly sought-after school districts,” says Oakley. Plano schools include Aldridge Elementary, scoring an A on Niche; Wilson Middle, A-minus; Vines High School, B-plus; or Plano Senior High School, A. Richardson students go to Canyon Creek Elementary, rated A on Niche; Richardson North Junior High, A-minus; and Pearce High, A. According to Oakley, Canyon Creek is one of the top elementary schools in the area and is a reason people want to move to the neighborhood.Creeks running through scenic green spaces
Canyon Creek Country Club features an 18-hole golf course with rolling hills, mature trees and a small creek running through it. “A lot of people have golf carts in the neighborhood,” Shortino says. “They’ll drive them over to the golf course.” In addition to golf, members can enjoy a game of pickleball or tennis, swim in one of the three pools, or dine at the Press 63 restaurant. Over at Prairie Creek Park, there’s no membership needed to enjoy the natural recreational setting. Its forested hiking trails run parallel to the namesake creek, with multiple bridges throughout the park crisscrossing the water. A waterfall at the northern end of the greenbelt offers a great place to rest and enjoy the scenery from the manufactured rock overlook. There’s also a handful of smaller parks, including Canyon Creek Park, Point North Park and Custer Park.Shopping and dining without leaving the neighborhood
The neighborhood has its own small retail center, with spots like Eiland Coffee, a popular café with a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. A few doors down is The Fifth: Fireside Patio and Bar with a large outdoor patio and stone fireplace. Here, locals especially enjoy the short ribs and the shrimp and grits. The center also has a boutique, salons and a beauty bar. Groceries are available at the local chain Tom Thumb, a sister chain to Albertsons. Richardson Plaza sits just outside the neighborhood with a trampoline park, furniture store and a few chain restaurants like McDonald's and Torchy's Tacos. There are also service providers, including a spa, salon and dance center.Great for walking, driving or flying
The President George Bush Turnpike and the Central Expressway are nearby, making it easy for Canyon Creek residents to get around the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Downtown Dallas is about 15 to 25 miles away, and the trip will take 20 to 30 minutes. Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is about the same distance from Canyon Creek. Sidewalks throughout the neighborhood connect the neatly manicured lawns and provide walkability. Some homes are within walking distance of The University of Texas at Dallas. For public transportation, there are Dallas Area Rapid Transit bus stops around the neighborhood.A patriotic parade on Independence Day
The voluntary yet active Canyon Creek Homeowners Association hosts annual events and social gatherings. "Every year, they throw a Fourth of July parade,” Oakley says. “All the neighbors get involved and put their little flags out in the yard. If you drive through the neighborhood in June or July, you can see them.”Crime
Canyon Creek has a CAP Index crime score of 3, lower than the national average of 4.
