Welcome to The Refuge at Dirickson Creek! More than a destination, a community should be welcoming and inspire residents toward common goals. Our community’s website is intended to serve as a comprehensive resource for current and potential residents, and for the public. We encourage all residents to be involved in making The Refuge the best it can be!
Homeowners should visit the Neighborhood News page to read about important events and issues that are of interest.

** Lawn Maintenance - Friendly Reminder **
"Friendly Reminder" for all homeowners to initiate Spring Cleanup and Lawn Maintenance activities. We ask homeowners to review and adhere to Covenant Section 7.22 - Lot Maintenance "...Owners of a Lot shall be responsible for the appearance of such Lot of Lots..." to avoid receiving a notice of violation. Many of you have begun these activities and the BOD and your neighbors appreciate your efforts.!
We have a Beautiful Community! Let's work together to keep it looking Great!
