Living in Wild Horse Canyon
Most of the houses sit along Westwood Street, Corral Street and Shady Trail Street, with short courts branching off them. A few of the courts have Western names like Red Hawk and Elkhorn, and a run of them is named for ridges, from Horizon and Prairie Ridge to Sable, Thorn and Copper Ridge. County assessor figures put most homes at roughly 3,200 to 4,300 square feet. Lots usually run a quarter to a third of an acre, and a couple dozen hillside lots reach half an acre or more. The streets were dedicated to the city as public roads.
The hills above the top rows of houses are part of Marr Ranch Open Space. The same 2004 map also set aside parcels for a water tank, a pump station and county fire district helicopter operations. Big Springs Elementary and Valley View Middle School are nearby to the south. The Wild Horse Canyon Homeowners Association, registered with the state in 2004, serves the neighborhood and has been managed by Ross Morgan & Company since 2006.
