Maxwell Creek North

A separate association from Maxwell Creek proper, with different dues and rules

Maxwell Creek North is a distinct homeowners association from Maxwell Creek proper, and that is the single most useful thing to know about it. The two share a name and adjoin one another, but the dues, the rules and the amenity access belong to different associations. In a city where Maxwell Creek is the best-known community name, buyers regularly assume they are buying into one thing and are actually buying into another.

Price Range

Roughly $450K – $700K depending on plan and condition, around Murphy's median sale price of about $584,650 (Redfin, May 2026, up 1.7% year over year) and its ACS 2024 5-year median home value of about $556K.

How Maxwell Creek North trades

Murphy is a stable, built-out resale market with modest inventory, and it commands a premium over Wylie and Sachse largely on school district and housing quality. Within that, the association question here is a genuine transaction risk rather than a technicality: buyers who believe they are getting Maxwell Creek's amenities and find otherwise after closing are an avoidable problem, and disclosure up front is what avoids it.

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.

  • Confirm which association the address belongs to and what its dues actually include. The name is shared; the association is not.
  • Murphy spans Plano ISD and Wylie ISD, and the market prices those differently. Verify the district for the exact address.
  • Homes are around twenty years old, so roofs, HVAC and fencing are due or coming due.
  • Murphy has limited retail of its own relative to Plano.

Maxwell Creek North: Frequently Asked Questions

Is Maxwell Creek North the same as Maxwell Creek?
No. They adjoin and share a name, but they are separate homeowners associations with separate dues, rules and amenity arrangements. This is the most common point of confusion in Murphy, and it matters financially, so get the resale certificate for the association the specific address actually belongs to.
Which school district serves Murphy?
Murphy is served by both Plano ISD and Wylie ISD depending on the address, and the boundary does not follow the city limits. Since the two are priced differently by the market, confirm the assignment for the exact address with the district before you offer.
Why is Murphy more expensive than Wylie or Sachse?
Housing stock and school district, mainly. Murphy's median sale price of about $584,650 sits well above Wylie's and Sachse's, reflecting larger and newer homes and, for much of the city, a Plano ISD assignment. The commute and the physical setting are broadly similar across the three, which is what makes the comparison worth making carefully.
