Paloma Creek in Aubrey (Dallas, Carrollton: HOA, crime, home)

[4114LEANNE]

[]We have moved to the Little Elm/Aubrey area in Paloma Creek. Any one who lives there, please tell me your likes and dislikes. It seems easier to get around if you are off of 380 as apposed to being in the middle of the bottleneck area of Little Elm, although I am sure it will be better once all the roads get opened up up there. My husband works in Carrollton and says he is fine with the commute, but could some of you tell me how the commute really is? I know there are many different routes he could take, so that is a good thing. Anyway, any info on Paloma Creek would be great! Thanks and have a great day!

I'm your neighbor, living in Savannah. And yes, being able to travel on 380 toward the Tollway is far better than being inside Little Elm, with a mile-long trail of cars on a 2 lane road.

I haven't tried it during the real rush hour, but driving from Savannah to Carrollton is about a 35 minute drive around 9AM.

I used to live in Aubrey on Rockhill Road and I thought it would have much less crime than Old East Dallas. Well, I was surprised to find out that there was a huge problem with drug dealers and Mexican gangs moving into the area, much more than I was used to in Dallas. Criminal types moved in and pretty soon we had a huge problem with people growing pot. Turns out the area is great for growing pot and the local law enforcement was very lax in enforcement of drug laws. I'm not saying who did what to whom, but I sold out and moved back to Dallas and I've never looked back.

WTF? I've lived here for two years and have yet to see any form of crime other than minor traffic violations. Unless you count the HOA ripping off the residents in fees, but that's hardly a federal offense.

PC is very quiet. Lots of families, kids, people walking their dogs. Everything is completely silent after 10pm. The sherriff's department patrols the neighborhood- I've seen them on several occasions. I've always felt safe here. People are mostly friendly. It depends where you live. The more developed your street is, the friendlier it seems to be.

Traffic is not much of a problem. 423 gets a little stacked up coming home during afternoon rush hour, so I'd take the Tollway. In the mornings, the Tollway flows pretty well until you get close to Parker/190.

Almost all your stores and shopping will be at 423/El Doradro or at El Dorado/Tollway. We sometimes go up to Denton, but not very often anymore. It's easier not to have to deal with the constuction on 288.

Hope this helps.
