Located in southern Platte County, Missouri, Walnut Creek is a wonderful community in which to raise a family. Boasting over 600 homes, the neighborhood is large enough to offer a wide range of amenities while remaining small enough to provide a sense of neighborly community.

The full set of amenities include:
- The neighborhood clubhouse is available for members to host private parties and events.
