Granite Crest (fka Willow Crest)

Granite Crest was formerly known as Willow Crest, a residential subdivision located on the west/south side of W. Young Street, south of Chalk Road and north of the Granite Falls subdivision. The project began as far back as 2003/2004, developing a Phase 1, 2, and 3.  Final Plat recording occurred between 2005 and 2014, and all lots in Phases 1, 2, and 3 were built out subsequent to those recorded plats.
