Custom homes in a park-like setting, easy access to the golf course and proximity to some of the city’s best schools are major draws for homebuyers. Idle Creek also has a CAP Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, the lowest possible score. “It’s a golf cart community that is open and friendly and very active, like biking, walking the dog, meeting and greeting with your neighbors that you know and don’t know,” says Carrie Smith, a resident of 22 years and Realtor with Gibson Real Estate. Established in 1996, Idle Creek offers a serene setting with large lots and neat landscaping. Sidewalks are lined with new traditional homes, some with Colonial or Craftsman style.
