Living in Mustang Creek — A Guide From a Neighbor

The Location Story
Samsung in Taylor
Samsung's $17B semiconductor facility is ~10 miles east. ~2,000 direct jobs plus thousands in supply chain. I talk to relocating Samsung employees — some have already bought in Mustang Creek. This demand driver is active and not fully reflected in current pricing.
