Just a few miles around the corner from where I live in Riverview is what was to be known as Triple Creek.  Triple Creek is located near the intersection of Big Bend Rd and Balm Riverview Rd.

Triple Creek was supposed to be a large gated community of over 2,000 homes & townhomes ranging in size from 1,500 to 4,000 sq ft.  Planned community amenities included a town center and a 6,000 sq ft clubhouse.

Triple Creek is located next to Balm-Boyette Scrub Nature Preserve. The 5,000-acre preserve features 21.5 miles of hiking and biking trails.

Sounds like a great community, eh?  Well....this is what it looks like today....

It appears as if they have abandoned the entire project as of now.  Trees are tipped over into the road, weeds and brush are overgrown onto the sidewalks and medians.  Weeds are about waist high around the concrete block homes they started, but never finished.  There are a few homes that were built and look like they were completed or are nearly completed, that were probably going to be the models.  Some of the windows have been broken out of the homes, so who knows what type of damage or vandalism has been done to the inside of the homes.

It's a shame this community is now a ghost town.  Abandoned.  Not a single construction worker, car or truck in the subdivision.  Hopefully, they will be able to get moving on this project again soon!
