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.

Hundred year Oak trees positioned in the center of the community make for some insanely 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.

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.

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.
