Plano suburb surrounded by outdoor recreation
Surrounded by trails, nature preserves, towering mature oaks and acres of green space, Russell Creek gives off a rural feel at first glance. The Plano suburb is a 7-mile drive from downtown, and its proximity to major thoroughfares gives residents easy access to any amenity or attraction in the metroplex. "Plano schools, close to shopping and dining and a key central location; you’re getting the best of all worlds,” says Jon Schmidt, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway PenFed Realty. “You're right between major highways that get you to Dallas easily. It's a really accessible area.”
Gaze down the row of stores & restaurants at Shops at Legacy and see why it is a popular place.
Driving along Sam Rayburn Tollway will take Russell Creek residents towards Downtown Plano.

Traditional brick homes
Russell Creek’s quiet, tree-lined suburban streets lead to traditional brick ranch-style homes and stately larger two-story brick homes. Most homes were built in the mid-1990s and range from approximately $430,000 for a three-bedroom over 2,000 square feet to nearly $900,000 for a five-bedroom home over 3,500 square feet. Brandon Wyatt, Realtor with Market Experts Realty and a lifelong Texas resident, recommends that homebuyers not wait too long to snap up a property. Homes typically stay on the market for 23 days, much lower than the national average of 44. “The housing marketing is fluctuating, but we are still seeing multiple offers on properties,” Wyatt says.
Residents take pride in their lawns, keeping them well-landscaped. Most homes have multi-car garages, spacious paved driveways and fenced-in backyards with pools. Residents enjoy decent lot sizes for gardening or entertaining, with most starting over 8,000 square feet up to over a quarter acre. Most residents’ homes back up to the Russell Creek Greenbelt, allowing easy access to hiking and biking trails.

Russell Creek Park boasts over 20 sports fields
The 187-acre Russell Creek Park is the community’s emerald gem and covers nearly half of the neighborhood. The park has a small lake, a playground and over 25 sports fields for soccer, rugby and lacrosse. The park, which is the only one in the country with seven cricket fields, also has 3.4 miles of hiking and biking trails that connect to the Russell Creek Greenbelt that winds through the area. The greenbelt is part of the Plano Trail System, which connects the elementary school and Capstone Park. This pocket park at the end of the greenbelt offers a playground, picnic pavilion and walking paths under a canopy of mature oaks. Hoblitzelle Park, 1 mile south of the community, has three playgrounds, pavilions and 3 miles of trails along the creek. The Trail at the Woods, the deeply forested entrance to the Connemara Meadow Nature Preserve, is 3 miles east of Russell Creek.
The preserve is a 72-acre refuge with over 3 miles of meadow trails filled with wildflowers and wildlife. The entrance has a network of nine unpaved trails surrounding the creek before hikers can get to the preserve. Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve, a natural 800-acre park with a small lake and 13 miles of trails, is 6 miles east for hikers and cyclists who want a more rugged escape into nature. The 18-hole Ridgeview Ranch Golf Course is 2 miles north and offers practice facilities and a driving range. The public Golf Club at Twin Creek is 2 miles northeast, and The Courses at Watters Creek, the most popular, is a 5-mile drive. “All of the golf courses, especially The Courses at Watters Creek near the neighborhood, is part of what makes it a desirable place to live,” says Wyatt. The public 6,000-acre venue offers three different courses and various leagues and hosts over 200 events a year.
Russell Creek residents enjoy going to Russell Creek Park to walk, bike or jog along the pond.

Top marks for Russell Clark schools
Plano Independent School District serves the area, which is the 13-best district in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, according to Niche. "Plano schools are always very good," Schmidt says. "It's almost an embarrassment of riches when it comes to how good the schools are. Everyone is happy with them." Students attend Andrews Elementary, C. M. Rice Middle School and Clark High School for ninth and tenth grade, ending their education at Plano West Senior High. Andrews, which offers a math rocks program, earned an A on Niche, and Rice also received an A. Earning a B-plus on Niche, Clark High offers basketball and tennis teams. Plano West, which scored an A-plus on Niche, is ranked the seventh-best high school in the area and provides soccer and wrestling teams and an animation club.
One option for middle schoolers is to attend Rice in Plano, Texas.
