Long time lurker... first time poster. (Please be nice .)
We lived in Village Creek for four years. We liked our house and lived on a nice, quiet street. However, our realtor sold us on the "master planned community" of Village Creek. Maybe our hopes were too high, but we never felt like it was anything more than a regular subdivision. When we moved in, they were just starting to build behind the lake. Obviously, the demographics of the subdivision changed when less expensive homes (i.e. Lennar) were built. The fountain around the lake never seemed to be working and there were huge drainage issues on the sidewalks around the lake. I know there's a new HOA company, so hopefully some of those issues have been resolved.
We sold our house last year and took a loss. It's always best to think resale when you buy, so be prepared. Most of the resales in Village Creek have taken a loss. Ours was minimal, but many are not. Since the subdivision isn't closed out yet, many people would rather buy a new home. The area on Spring Cypress surrounding the subdivision entrance killed us. People didn't like the empty trailer that sits nearby. (Sorry, I can't remember exactly where it is/was!) They didn't like the tan building across the street from the entrance. It was a school at one time. I don't know what's in there now, if anything. The KB Homes on Eldridge were too close. It goes on and on.
If I were to do it over again, I'd look at Longwood or Coles Crossing. Longwood is away from all of the traffic mess on Spring Cypress. I've only driven through parts of Coles Crossing, but it always seemed cleaner and better maintained than Village Creek. Both are in CFISD, which I'd take over TISD any day.
