Horse Creek
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Horse Creek spreads across the ground between Chambers Road and Jordan Road just north of Hess Road in southwest Parker, 421 homes that D.R. Horton and Richmond American built between 2004 and 2009. Ranch and two-story plans run roughly 2,050 to 3,500 square feet above grade on lots from 7,000 square feet to a fifth of an acre, all over basements. Dues of about $106 a month fund the community pool, common grounds, and trash service, and Gold Rush Elementary sits inside the loop of streets on South Swift Fox Way. Rueter-Hess Reservoir lies about 1.5 miles southwest, where the Rosie Rueter Trail loops just over a mile and the incline climbs 132 steps. Hess Road runs west to I-25, and the Tech Center is about a 20-minute drive.
