North Creek Farms
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
North Creek Farms fills the blocks between Downing Street and Race Street from E 164th Avenue up to E 167th Avenue, and county records show 452 houses built in a long run from 2001 to 2014. Two story plans account for 367 of them, averaging near 2,240 finished square feet on lots around a sixth of an acre, with 64 ranches and 18 multi level homes filling out the mix. North Creek Farms Park anchors the middle at 1903 E 164th Place and carries its own paved loop, while the South Fork Preble Creek Trail runs the north end. E 168th Avenue, which carries State Highway 7, forms the top edge and puts I-25 roughly a mile west.
