Welcome to Murphy Creek Metropolitan District 3!
We are a master planned community located on the Eastern Plains of Aurora, Colorado. Our metro district currently has 1244 homes, many with beautiful views of the city-owned Murphy Creek golf course.
In early February, Murphy Creek, LLC, the developers of Murphy Creek, sent a letter and email to District 3 residents entitled, "Responding to District Dialogues". That letter and its inaccuracies and misdirections resulted in some confusion for homeowners. District 3 has sent to homeowners a District Dialogue entitled, "Setting the Record Straight", and that publication addresses inaccuracies and misdirections from the developers' letter. Please take a few minutes to read "Setting the Record Straight", which is posted below under District Dialogues.
Due to recent resignations, two board positions are now available for appointment by the remaining board members. Please visit the Board Members page for deadlines and complete information on how to apply.
If you have questions, please submit them via the Contact Us form.

TRANSITION UPDATE
Goodwin & CO
March 31, 2023
Thank you for your patience with this transition.
The District is being integrated into Goodwin & Co.’s systems, and there have been some delays in processing payments received in the old system. Although the setup has been delayed, please note that no late fees, interest, or processing fees will be assessed in March, April, and May. Please watch your email and mail for your new account number and ways to pay. These should be received any day now!
Auto pay should be done through the HOMEOWNER'S bank to avoid the $1.50 processing fee. It can take up to 15 days after you register for your balance and options to populate. Once populated, you can pay online with ACH for a $1.50 processing fee or $1.50 processing fee plus 3% if using a credit card. The free options are to mail in a check to the address below, or you can contact your bank to send a check directly free of charge.
Please feel free to mail your payment directly to Cherry Creek/Goodwin & CO – 14901 East Hampden Avenue, #320, Aurora CO 80014 - to ensure it is processed in a timely manner.
Or, in the meantime, please send your payment to the address below:
Murphy Creek Metropolitan District No. 3
c/o Goodwin Processing Center
PO Box 93447
Las Vegas, NV 89193-3447
You can use your old account number and association address, on the payment since the new one has not been assigned yet.
Cherry Creek/Goodwin will be mailing out information regarding the new owner portal in the coming weeks and will be happy to walk through questions at that time.
Please contact the Goodwin Customer Service Team- 855-289-6007 or Alliance Bank at 854-739-2331 directly and they will be happy to assist!
We hope this helps with some of the confusion!
Thank you and have a great day!

2023 District Board Election Information
The 2023 District 3 board election scheduled for Tuesday, May 2, 2023, was not held, as there were fewer candidates than positions available. This resulted in an uncontested election, and all candidates were elected by acclamation. Please see the Election Info page for more detail.
License Plate Readers
In response to the increase in crime, and after several years of discussion at monthly board meetings, the Metro District 3 board approved the installation of license plate reading cameras at all entrances/exits to Murphy Creek.
Use of these cameras in other neighborhoods has shown that the capture of time-stamped license plates can assist law enforcement in their investigation of crime and apprehension of criminals.
The cameras were first recommended by Metropolitan District Public Safety, the security company for Murphy Creek, and they backed up their recommendation by agreeing to share the cost of the cameras with the District.
