Review for Fox Creek Estates

Fox Creek Estates is a 55 or over Community. All residents have their own apartments. We cook and clean for ourselves, There is staff who vacuum hallways and floors outside of our apartments . They keep the areas clean that all residents share, Coffee lounges,ladies snd men's rooms lobbies etc. The residents who want to play games, ex Bingo, Rummy Cube etc are all welcome to join anytime. Everyone seems so happy and friendly. I love living here as do my new friends who I have met since I have lived here.

Best decision ever!

The staff is very friendly and always make sure to say hi using your name. The facility is very nice, maybe about 11 years old. The gardens are very attractive and the grass is cut all the time helping the area to look very nice and a pleasure to have guests.

Fox Creek Estates review

First of all, I was able to help build it and it was fun to work in such a place as Fox Creek Estates. Based on the experience I have had so far, I would recommend this community to others who are looking for a place.

Fox Creek Estates is a comfortable place to live. People are friendly, but it's up to you to also be friendly. If you want to know what is going on, come to coffee hour on Tuesday morning. People are helpful. We have exchanged phone numbers and we know we can call if we need help. Some activities are created by the residents - playing board games or cards. There is a Valet garbage pickup which is terrific. The grounds are well kept. I've only needed maintenance help twice in the time I've been here, and they been …

Positive experience

The Fox Creek Estates is an incredible clean place and the staff members are wonderful, they are more the willing to help out whenever you have any questions or need assistance. They do have some activities, but other residents who have lived there longer said because of the pandemic they don't have as many as they used to.
