Crooked Creek is a diverse community comprised of people of every generation, ethnicity, and culture. A place where the past is revered and the future embraced with equal enthusiasm. It contains a number of smaller communities, including Crow’s Nest, Rocky Ripple, Highwoods, Spring Hill, Meridian Hills, and Wynnedale.

The Crooked Creek community is home to a multitude of faiths, with significant Jewish, Catholic, and Mennonite branches represented, as well as a wealth of nationally-recognized cultural, educational, and healthcare institutions that bring enlightenment and comfort to all.
