Fox Creek Estates review

First of all, I was able to help build it and it was fun to work in such a place as Fox Creek Estates. Based on the experience I have had so far, I would recommend this community to others who are looking for a place.

Would Recommend

Fox Creek Estates is a comfortable place to live. People are friendly, but it's up to you to also be friendly. If you want to know what is going on, come to coffee hour on Tuesday morning. People are helpful. We have exchanged phone numbers and we know we can call if we need help. Some activities are created by the residents - playing board games or cards. There is a Valet garbage pickup which is terrific. The grounds are well kept. I've only needed maintenance help twice in the time I've been here, and they been good with that. While they are not responsible for food, they have made contact with a company that does food delivery recently. This is popular and has added greatly to our quality of life.

Positive experience

The Fox Creek Estates is an incredible clean place and the staff members are wonderful, they are more the willing to help out whenever you have any questions or need assistance. They do have some activities, but other residents who have lived there longer said because of the pandemic they don't have as many as they used to. The value for the money is just fine, my apartment is much bigger then what I have been used to previously living in Manhattan, NY. It is more then enough space, and I would absolutely recommend Fox Creek to other families

it a nice place to live

It's a very safe and secure community and it is very quiet. I would definitely recommend this community to others. There is a lot to do around the community but it is located in heavily trafficked area.

Not In The Right Location

We toured this community however it was a little too far out than what we were looking for. The property is only a few years old. They still have it very well maintained and looking good. The grounds are nice the property has a pool for residents. Since this is an independent community there are no meals included which are fine because my mom prefers to cook for herself.

Insensitive or discriminatory? You decide

My parents have lived here over a year now. They have been accused of throwing garbage out without bags (not true) the television being too loud (my father is hard of hearing) and walking heavily across the floor (ok, my mother is overweight with bad knees) of their own apartment. Management has spoken to them this. Do not live here.

Neat and Tidy Community

I'am still adjusting to the routine around this community. I'am doing pretty well, and this is a nice community. I'am still getting use everybody, and the staff, but so far everyone has been friendly. They do a good job with keeping the community neat and tidy. There are many activities available for the residents. I've noticed they have a card room, food trucks that come, and they show movies. It is a pretty active community. If you don't require much care, and looking for a nice community. I would recommend this one.

Fox Creek is a great place for independent living

This was the perfect place for my parents who are in their 80's and still independent. It has the in-apartment laundry that mom wanted, an open concept and a covered patio that my dad wanted because he loved his deck at his previous ranch house. The bathrooms are very large and have beautiful cupboards and countertops. Everything looks new. Sue D. was great to deal with. She followed up with me on all my phone calls and was very supportive and understanding of my parent's needs. They have only been in for about two months and still trying to fit everything in (they still need to downsize), but everything is great. Their apartment is always warm (you know how the elderly need more warmth), but their electric bill is very, very small. My mom is looking forward to enjoying exercises in the heated pool and attending planned activities. They don't need the shuttle services that are provided, but there is so much going on for all the residents. There is a beautiful party room and also a "man cave" with large recliners and a huge TV for viewing movies/sports games! Check it out...you won't be disappointed.
