                                             The master planned community of Star Creek began in 2006. The developers, Blue Star Land, owned by the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry and Steven Jones, also developed the highly successful Starwood in Frisco, Texas. Three builders are in Star Creek: Highland, Darling and Huntington Homes. Highland and Darling build on the 50 and 65 foot lots, which start from the $270K's. Huntington and Darling build on the larger lots, and they currently have lots available that back to the trees and creek. These homes are advertised from the $600's, but most that I have seen recently have been priced in the $700K's, and $800K's. There are a few resales in Star Creek, although most of the available homes are new construction.  Star Creek includes a clubh... 09/10/2007

There are currently 3 elementary schools that the Twin Creeks kids attend.  All three were rated as "Exemplary", the highest rating given, by the state board of education. Boon Elementary is located in Twin Creeks 2, and the kids from Raintree, Twin Creeks 2, and Twin Creeks 3 attend. There is a walking trail in Twin Creeks 3, that is a short walk to Boon, and the walking trail goes underneath Exchange Parkway, so the kids don't have to walk on a busy street to get to school. Boon is located next to Twin Creeks' second amenity center which includes a pool, tennis courts, basketball, playground, and sand volleyball. This fall begins Boon's 3rd year, and it has been ranked exemplary every year. Green Elemetary was the first elementary school built in Twin Creeks. It is located in Twin Cre... 09/10/2007

Allen, Texas used to be considered the edge of the DFW Metroplex.  It is now practically the center of everything.  Central Expressway is convenient to every point in town and the amenities are now present to support the population.  The Dallas North Tollway is also convenient for those who work in the downtown area. 12/15/2006
