Shingle Creek offers city conveniences and suburban comforts-where residents can be close to nature in their own backyards in the heart of the city! Here you can find great housing stock, excellent schools and parks within walking distance, bike trails, a low crime rate, and involved residents! The meandering Shingle Creek which runs north-south through the neighborhood brings a plethora of flora and fauna for residents to enjoy-including bald eagles, fox, and deer. The Shingle Creek neighborhood is only 6 freeway-miles to downtown jobs and entertainment and has easy access to the northern and western suburbs.
