In this crazy market some home owners feel like they could sell their home on their own. Here are some questions they need to ask themselves.
Design Time Summer Camps
Have fun this summer at Art Camp! Bring a friend or meet new friends while you explore paint & canvas, clay creations, mixed media, water color, group activities, games and more! Our 3 hour themed camps are lead by our team of fun and talented artists/instructors.
Castle Hills Parks
Springtime is here! Each month we will be highlighting a specific Castle Hills Park. A few of the parks have been renovated, and there are more parks approved for renovations. The Train Park is a great park with a cool train for the kiddos to climb on, especially for toddlers. These parks allow for creative freedom and making memories.
This Month Park - Castle Park
Castle Park is a fantasy playground come true! Safe, clean castles with towers, ramparts, swings, slides and more await exploration.
