Canyon Creek area of Richardson , is it possible to buy a home in the low 200s? (Dallas: apartments)

[tennisdork]

I currently live in Frisco , family of 5 , so looking for good schools.I want to be closer to Dallas .Opinions on Canyon Creek?

[Ryan Kirkpatrick]

Hey tennisdork, possible....yes. Depends on what you're looking for. Most homes go for a lot more as it sounds like you know.

Great area by the way...I'm a member at Canyon Creek and love it. I have both golf and tennis, but primarily play tennis up there about 3 times a week.

Check Northwood Hills- think it's 75248, off Hillcrest between 635 & Belt Line. Kids will be in Exemplary schools from K-12 (Westwood Jr High & Richardson HS)- better rating than Pearce.

$200k is going to be difficult, but not impossible.

You can get into the area around $200,000 in the Reservation, Estates West, Prestonwood East, Holiday Park, in addition to Canyon Creek. The Collin County Line is nearby and if you are in Collin County you are in Plano schools in that area.

If you are commuting downtown you might want to get more in the middle in-between 75 and the Dallas North Tollway to give yourself options.

Canyon Creek is not what it was 20 years ago. I have lived in the area my entire life and as a kid played all in and around canyon Creek.

Currently as everyone knows ?? has a huge massive facility on Renner RD and also at the corner of Renner and Custer there is another massive Building.

Since the ?? building has been up and running along with the huge building on the corner of Custer and Renner we have been noticing a foul smell only when the wind is blowing out of the North.

The smell is similar to the smell of Helium.
I have ridden my bicycle all around both buildings trying to figure out the smell. One day when the wind was blowing to the north I was on the service road of the Bush headed East on my bicycle. That's when I knew where the smell was coming from without a doubt.

I believe the smell is coming from the massive Air Liquid Tank area on the North side of ??. Anyone can see the massive exhaust tubes and tanks just drive north on Alma towards the Bush keep looking left you cant miss them.

It was without a doubt coming from that area. I have contacted ?? many times about this matter. At first ?? told me that the the only smell from the air liquid tanks was a poison that is used to kill algae build up in the tanks, Also explained to me that they were well within the standards of the EPA.
Since I have contacted them explaining the smell is still around. I even suggested them putting in 100ft tall exhaust stacks or low stacks with high volume fans. They no longer will respond to me.

I have done what I can to alert the Canyon Creek residents about this matter,Seems I am becoming the target now. This matter does not only effect Canyon Creek but also the apartments directly East of ??, not to mention there is also another community directly north of ?? which is in the town of Plano.

?? is a very big business and could easily manipulate the EPA or even a city.


If you doubt what I am saying just do a little research yourself.
I recommend using google satellite and look at where you live in comparison to the massive exhaust fans on top of the ?? building. or just use the Air liq tanks as a point of ref.
Next find out which way the wind is blowing just type wind direction Plano,TX and there should be a few
different sites that will tell you which way the wind is blowing.

Next time the wind is blowing in your direction from the tank area walk outside and see if you can smell a helium smell with a slight mix of radiator fluid on top of it.

If you want to know for sure what the smell smells like just wait until the wind is blowing out of the south to the north get in your car with the ac off and the heater off. leave your windows closed and drive north on custer, come to the bush service road turn right. When you get towards the end of the shopping center on your right, safely slow to a legal safe speed and drop all of the windows in the car.

If you miss it no big deal just make the left u turn under the bush and circle back around.

I have taken several people on this route because I started thinking I was crazy, everyone who has ridden with me agrees there is a weird smell coming from that direction.


Again please do not target me but rather work with me.
I am not trying to win money or just stir the pot, Respectfully I just want to be able to walk outside and not have to smell a foul odor that is just lingering in my neighborhood anymore.

seems if you are more than a mile from the tanks you may not smell it. To bad for the hundreds of people who do live within a mile of the tanks.

P.S.
If you drive around 635 and 75 there are more tanks over in that direction. I noticed the other day the same smell and to my surprise I was about 1000ft from a huge massive air liq tank area.
same deal.

The portions of Richardson in Collin County are PISD. Those in Dallas County are RISD.

What is the ?? ?? ?? I don't understand what is ?? It sounds like the NSA might be involved here...

Thinking about Canyon Creek though, that is a sexy area for sure.

What does a "sexy" neighborhood look like? I'm puzzled.
