Things to weigh
Living next to a construction site for a few years means trucks and noise on Daniels Parkway. On the other hand, the new shopping and the new traffic signal planned at the entrance will help both communities. If you need to move soon, Timber Creek may be the better fit. If you can wait and want to pick everything, get on the Daniels Creek list.
