Buffalo Creek
Heath’s established country-club golf community: custom homes on and around the course
Buffalo Creek is an established custom-home community built around Buffalo Creek Golf Club, an 18-hole course long regarded as one of the better public-access layouts in the area. Spanning roughly 600 acres and home to over 700 families, the neighborhood took shape starting in the early 1990s and has continued to fill in since, so it mixes mature, tree-lined streets with newer construction. It folds in several sections - including Buffalo Creek Estates, the Tennis Village, and The Enclave - around greenbelts, ponds, and neighborhood parks. Homes generally run from about 2,100 to 5,000-plus square feet on lots ranging from roughly a fifth of an acre to several acres.

Check these before you offer
The trade-offs a listing will not mention. None of these are reasons not to buy here; they are the things worth pricing in.
- Golf and country-club memberships are separate from the dues. If course access is part of why you are buying, confirm the cost and availability before you commit.
- The community has been building since the late 1980s, so a mature 1990s street and recent construction sit inside one name with very different maintenance profiles.
- Golf-course lots carry the usual course-maintenance and errant-ball realities alongside the view.
- Rockwall ISD draws attendance zones by area rather than by Heath's town limits, so a Heath address does not fix the elementary campus. Verify the exact assignment.
- There is no passenger rail and downtown Dallas is roughly 30 minutes via I-30, so this is a car-dependent, commute-out location.
- Custom homes on varied lots mean thin true comparables; ask for comps with an as-of month.
