Creekside at Preston has a homeowners association with its own board, and the City of Frisco HOA Directory names Neighborhood Management Inc. as its management company.1
A Frisco HOA runs on three pieces: a volunteer board, a management company and a set of recorded covenants. The management company collects dues and handles day-to-day tasks. The covenants cover what you can change outside the house, such as fences, exterior paint colors, landscaping and parking.
Dues sit in your monthly budget next to the mortgage, taxes and insurance. That is why I go through the HOA papers with you on every offer we write here.
How fast is Frisco growing?
Frisco has grown fast, and the Census numbers show it (Frisco population: 219,304; Frisco median year homes were built: 2009).3
A home built around the city's median year may be due for roof, air conditioner or water heater work. Each of those shapes the inspection and the offer.

Creekside at Preston gives a first-time buyer a home on a compact lot with a small fenced backyard, coffee and pizza 500 feet away, a park 1.1 miles away and UNT at Frisco 5 minutes by car. A smaller yard means less upkeep on your weekends.
Two homes on the same street can sell at different prices because of the lot, the updates and the street noise. So I compare each home against recent sales of the same style in the same community before we write an offer. For every home you like, here's what I'm seeing, and here's what I recommend.
