Wolf Creek Farms, answered

  • Which elementary school serves Wolf Creek Farms?

    Highland Elementary, at 4818 Highland Road, which opened in 2025. Some builder pages still list North Creek Elementary, but Melissa ISD zones Wolf Creek Farms to Highland, and its 2026-27 changes didn't move it. After fifth grade come the Sixth Grade Center, East Cardinal Middle School and Melissa High School.

  • Are there homes for rent in Wolf Creek Farms?

    A separate build-to-rent project, "Wolf Creek Farms BTR," was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in 2024 at Collin Street and Throckmorton Road, planned as 343 single-family rental homes with a clubhouse, leasing office, fitness center and pool. Ask me what's leasing now. I help renters search Melissa homes for lease, tour them and apply.

  • How much are property taxes in Wolf Creek Farms?

    Wolf Creek Farms is inside Melissa's city limits, and Collin CAD lists no MUD or PID on any home here. On Collin County's 2026 list, the rates add up to about $1.89 per $100 of value: Melissa ISD $1.2008, the City $0.454116, Collin County $0.151414 and Collin College $0.08122. With a homestead exemption ($140,000 off for school taxes, 6% off for city taxes, 5% off for county taxes and 20% off for Collin College taxes), that's about $6,910 a year on a $468,000 home, the neighborhood's median 2026 tax-roll value.

  • Is Wolf Creek Lane part of Wolf Creek Farms?

    No. Wolf Creek Lane is in Hunters Creek, a separate neighborhood, on Collin CAD's roll.

  • What are Wolf Creek Farms homes like?

    Collin CAD lists 372 homes in three sections, built from 2022 to 2024. The median home is about 2,900 square feet, most are 2,000 to 3,600, and 32% are one story, on a median lot of about 5,600 square feet. Meritage lists a covered pavilion, dog park, greenbelt, lake, playground and trails.

  • What's my Wolf Creek Farms home worth?

    Collin CAD's median 2026 value here is about $468,000, and most homes fall between $405,000 and $542,000. The median value per square foot is $164. Your price comes from recent sales of similar homes nearby, so I'll send you 3 to 4 recent comparable sales.

  • Can I lease out my Wolf Creek Farms home?

    It depends on the HOA's recorded rules, which can limit leasing, so read them first. Texas law doesn't let an HOA require its approval of your tenant or demand the tenant's credit report or application. I lease out a home in Melissa myself and help owners price, market and lease theirs. I find tenants; I don't manage property.
