Why the addition name matters here
A Saginaw address tells you the city and, on the tax roll, the school district. It doesn’t tell you whether the house went up in 1962 or 2019. The platted addition on the legal description usually does, because Saginaw grew in distinct bursts and most additions were built out within a few years. Pull any home’s Tarrant Appraisal District account and the first words of its legal description name the addition. Match that name to the table below and you know the era, the typical house and lot, and where its appraisal sits against the rest of town before you ever drive the street.
The table covers every addition with at least 70 homes on the roll, 7,587 houses in all. Smaller plats and individual tracts make up the rest. Every one of these accounts carries school code 918, Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD; the campus assignment is a separate lookup.

“Pool” is the share of accounts where TAD records a swimming pool. Heather Ridge appears three times because TAD files its phases under separate legal names. Bar C Ranch has 66 more homes under a second legal name, “Bar C Ranch - Saginaw, The,” not included in its row.
The postwar and 1970s core
Worthy Addition is the oldest group on the list, 70 homes with a median year built of 1958 and a median of about 1,350 sq ft; none has a recorded pool. Rancho North is the town’s largest single plat at 1,014 homes. Its houses date mostly from the 1960s and early 1970s (median 1971), they’re compact at a median 1,465 sq ft, and they sit on the biggest typical lots of any older addition, about 8,570 sq ft. That combination, small house on a generous lot, is why its $200,000 median appraisal works out to roughly $136 a square foot of house, below the town-wide median of about $148.
Saginaw North (674 homes, median 1978) and Saginaw West Estates (130 homes, median 1980) carry the same 1,500 sq ft scale a decade later. Saginaw West Estates has the higher pool share, 15%, and a tighter appraisal spread; half its homes fall between $220,224 and $270,629. Buyers here are mostly weighing original systems and later remodels, so the inspection report does more work than the listing photos.
Parkwest, Highland Station and the 1990s build-out
Parkwest began in 1984 and kept filling in through the 1990s (median 1993, 647 homes). Highland Station, at 845 homes the second-largest plat, was built between 1989 and 2002 with a 1997 median. It has the most pools of any addition, 145, or 17% of its homes, and larger houses than Parkwest (about 1,900 sq ft against 1,660) on smaller lots (6,600 sq ft against 7,360). Highland Station IIIC, filed separately, is a 90-home 1999–2000 section with the largest houses of the group and lots near 5,500 sq ft.
Around 2000 a run of smaller plats opened at once: The Parks (135 homes, 1998–2000), Willowstone Estates (235), Whisperwood Estates (261) and Amber Meadows (211). Willowstone holds the smallest houses of that cohort, a median 1,537 sq ft, yet about $178 of appraisal per square foot, a level matched on this list only by the brand-new Cottages at Beltmill. Whisperwood is the opposite trade, bigger houses on some of the tightest lots of the era, a median 5,720 sq ft.
The Willow Creek cluster
Three adjoining legal names share the Willow Creek label. Willow Creek Estates (294 homes, median 2001) has an 18% pool share, the highest of any addition. Courts of Willow Creek (233 homes, 1999–2006) pairs the largest median lot in this table, 8,750 sq ft, with houses around 2,260 sq ft and a $353,178 median appraisal. Commons at Willow Creek (209 homes) came a few years later, median 2006, on 7,500 sq ft lots. If lot size is the priority and a 2000s house is acceptable, this cluster and Rancho North are the two places the roll points to, at very different price levels.
Mid-2000s: Heather Ridge, Creekwood, Willow Vista and The Dominion
Heather Ridge Estates is filed in three pieces, 667 homes together, built mainly from 2000 to 2007. Pools are rare there (2–3%), and appraisals per square foot run among the lowest of the 2000s additions, about $123 to $132. Creekwood (214 homes, median 2005) has the largest houses on the list at a median 2,565 sq ft and the top addition median value, $360,336. About a third of its accounts, 69, list a special taxing district on the roll that the rest of these additions don’t, so pull the account’s full tax-unit list before you budget. Willow Vista Estates (360 homes, median 2006) and The Dominion (316, median 2007) sit near 2,020 to 2,060 sq ft, with The Dominion on the larger lots, about 8,060 sq ft.
After 2010: the newer edges
Spring Creek (204 homes, median 2014) is the outlier among the newer plats: houses near 1,800 sq ft on 6,300 sq ft lots and a single recorded pool. Saginaw Springs (162 homes, 2014–2018), Basswood Crossing (432 homes, 2017–2020) and Bar C Ranch (79 homes, 2018–2020) all appraise at medians between $347,196 and $349,768, with Bar C Ranch carrying the bigger houses, about 2,500 sq ft.
Cottages at Beltmill is different in kind. Its 105 homes date from 2024–2025 and sit on the smallest lots in the table, a median 5,040 sq ft. Every one of those accounts is titled to one of two companies, Beltmill Residential LLC (84) and Beltmill Saginaw LLC (21). The homes aren’t owned house by house, so if you’re shopping to buy rather than rent, confirm with the owner whether any are offered for sale at all.
Reading the trade-offs
- Lot first: Rancho North, Willow Creek Estates, Courts of Willow Creek, Creekwood and The Dominion all post median lots above 8,000 sq ft, across a spread of house ages from the 1960s to the late 2000s.
- House first: Creekwood, Bar C Ranch and Courts of Willow Creek carry the largest median houses; Whisperwood and Highland Station IIIC offer 1,850–2,080 sq ft on lots under 6,000 sq ft.
- Age and systems: a house built before 1986 is now 40 years old or more, which shifts the question to roofs, plumbing and foundations. The post-2015 plats trade that risk for smaller lots and, at Beltmill, a single corporate owner.
