It’s positioned perfectly for those looking to escape the rigors of urban life but who don’t want to sacrifice the conveniences of modern living. While there are plenty of beautiful neighborhoods scattered throughout Allen, Texas, you owe it to yourself and your family to consider Shaddock Park.

About Allen, Texas

Allen started life as a railroad town, established in the 1840s. It grew slowly until the second half of the 20^th century, when it started undergoing significant growth thanks to the construction of DFW International Airport, as well as Route 75. Of course, the explosion of growth in Dallas, Fort Worth and Plano also helped spur growth in Allen as people moved out of the city to get away from the noise, congestion and crowds. Today, most people still move to Allen for those same reasons, and they find a welcoming community plenty of its own amenities, as well as access to all that the wider area has to offer.

The Allen Independent School District covers the majority of the city, and earned a ranking of “recognized” (the second highest possible) from the state’s board of education, putting it within the top 35% of ISDs within the state.

Hey All!

As we all move deeper into this busy, busy time of year, Pam and I wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!  May the blessings of the Lord be upon us all this wonderful time of year!

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. “This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.” – Luke 2: 10-14

More and more people are opting to move north from the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. The increasing urbanization, crowding and traffic are just a few reasons for the exodus. Where are they going, though? While many choose Lucas, McKinney or Fairview, many others choose to make their new home in Allen, Texas. Once a sleepy little town, Allen has grown to boast a population of more than 84,000 individuals. Despite that growth, it manages to maintain its small town charm and appeal. One of the reasons so many people choose Allen, Texas, is the city’s school system, but others come because of the luxury living available in neighborhoods like Twin Creeks.

About the City

Allen, Texas, is home to a very wide range of attractions, and it’s also just 30 minutes from downtown Dallas and DFW international airport, making it an ideal home for those who want to get out of the hustle and bustle, but who still need to commute for business. From the Allen Premium Outlets to the Village at Allen, Villages of Fairview and more, there’s lots of choices to satiate your shopping itch. There are also a number of first class dining and entertainment options at hand such as Top Golf, Allen Event Center, Allen Premium Outlets and so much more.

In terms of education, you’ll find that the Allen ISD ranks among the top 35% of Texas independent school districts, as rated by the Texas Education Authority (TEA). Twin Creeks puts families with children in the prime location to access these top-ranked schools.

A Look at Twin Creeks Lexington

Twin Creeks is a master-planned community located in Allen, Texas. It’s actually a collection of different neighborhoods, all bounded together. These are Wimberley Place, Somerset, Hawthorne, Lexington and Westgrove. While all Twin Creeks neighborhoods are luxurious and enjoyable, there’s a lot to recommend Lexington.

You’ll find that Twin Creeks Lexington is surrounded on three sides by the Twin Creeks Golf Club, providing stunning views out over the greenways and sand traps. However, it’s also easy to get where you need to go from here – one of the neighborhood’s entrances is right on Exchange Parkway, which takes you straight to US 75. The other exit takes you deeper into the Twin Peaks neighborhood, toward the gatehouse and the office park.

The golf club isn’t the only benefit to life at Twin Creeks Lexington. You’ll find a number of other amenities here, including three miles of hiking and biking trails throughout the neighborhood, and several pristine swimming pools to help you beat the heat. There are also several playgrounds for the little ones and picnic areas ideal for an impromptu lunch or dinner on the grass. If you prefer, tee off at the Arnold Palmer golf course, or you can head down to the City of Allen soccer fields.

There’s a lot to love about life at Twin Creeks Lexington, and throughout the rest of Allen, for that matter. If you’re considering a move to the area, contact us at Matlock Real Estate Group. We can help ensure you get the luxurious home and the ideal location that your family deserves.
