In addition to this amazing home and all that Cresswind has to offer, there is something to be said about the community of The Ponds as well, because it truly is a unique and special place.

Zoned for highly desired DD2 schools, the Ponds is a community full of amenities and activities for all ages. Full of forest like woods with miles of trails to hike, unwind, and reconnect. This is the type of community where neighbors extend a hand to help. Where those same neighbors become friends, and grow to feel like family. If you are looking for a place to put down roots and grow, this is it. The Ponds is best known for its preserved natural beauty. Hundred year Oak trees positioned in the center of the community make for some incredibly beautiful sunsets. If you are touring the home around that time, be sure to take a few minutes to find this spot. We guarantee that you won't leave without snapping a photo or two. These Oaks also set the stage for one of the most frequently used meadows in the neighborhood. In the summer months, the HOA hosts food truck Fridays each month here and brings in live music. Neighbors of both Cresswind and The Ponds walk or drive their golf carts to this field, throw a blanket down and enjoy spirits, food trucks, and live music together. Just beside this field sits the custom built tree house. A naturesque playground built to allow all ages to climb up and into the branches of one of the hundred year old Oak trees. The community also offers a large zero entry swimming pool, a beautiful outdoor shelter with a fire place, picnic tables and 2 large gas grills, a community fire pit, a kayak launch, numerous ponds for fishing, and an amphitheater which is often used for events such as the neighborhoods Fourth of July festival and fireworks show.

The Ponds also boasts a historical farmhouse which serves as their amenity center. The farmhouse dates back to the 1830's and is said to be the third home ever constructed in The Ponds. Its beauty can be enjoyed by all as it serves as the center of the development. Another scenic spot to enjoy breathtaking sunsets. It's a sought after event space and has even hosted a few weddings. Just beside the farmhouse sits a small cottage that serves as the community coffee house. And adorable spot to stroll to each morning to enjoy the paper, read a book, or just catch up with neighbors over a cup of joe. It even offers free WiFi and is a great spot to use occasionally if you work remotely.
