[quote author="hyen10" date=1242453890]Because Oak Creek is gated i've only been inside once or twice, how new are the homes? And what kinds of amenities does the village offer? Is the village even worth looking at? Or should I be concentrating on Woodbury, Portola Springs and Quail Hill?</blockquote>
Just follow one of the residents INTO the gate, or go on weekends for open house.
The homes in Oak Creek were built in late 1990s to early 2000's. The association has several small parks, swimming pools w/jacuzzi & BBQ, a club house, ball court, tennis court, etc. There's also 2 public access parks in the SE area of the community with ball courts/fields. The community has an elementary school inside, and a Gelsons shopping plaza at corner of Jeffery and Alton.
