Myrtle Creek is the newest large-scale community in Waxahachie: 1,263 acres on the south side of town, about 30 miles from downtown Dallas, built around a resort-style amenity center with a private lazy river.

Taxes, HOA and what to check
There is a mandatory HOA; dues vary by section. Large master plans in Waxahachie are typically financed with a PID, and the City's PID records show a Waxahachie PID No. 1 with 60-, 70- and 90-ft lots that may cover Myrtle Creek. Get the PID assessment schedule in writing from the builder before you compare Myrtle Creek to a non-PID neighborhood, because it changes your monthly payment.
Who Myrtle Creek fits
Buyers who want amenities first and are comfortable with an HOA and a likely PID assessment in exchange. Move-up buyers on the 60- and 71-ft Perry and Highland lots get the most house for the money in this part of Waxahachie.
