Amber Creek

Boutique, Quiet, and Fireplace-Cozy

Amber Creek is a smaller, boutique community of just 64 homes, so it skips the chaotic feel of the mega-complexes for something quieter and more relaxed. The spacious two-bedroom layouts bring genuinely nice touches for the price, including wood-burning fireplaces, private balconies, and full-size washer/dryer connections. The North Garland location is a commuter's friend, close to State Highway 78 and the President George Bush Turnpike for easy access to Richardson, Plano, or Dallas, with Tom Thumb, Kroger, Walmart, and Target nearby and Methodist Richardson Medical Center just down the road. Duck Creek Golf Club and the Spring Creek Forest Preserve add weekend options, and the Garland ISD's School Choice program is a plus for families. For renters who want a calm, cozy, value-minded home, Amber Creek is a comfortable boutique pick.
