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.

Hundred year Oak trees positioned in the center of the community near the farmhouse make for some unbelievably 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 fields in the neighborhood. In the summer months, the HOA hosts food truck Fridays each month here and brings in live music. Neighbors walk or drive their golf carts to this field, throw a blanket down and enjoy spirits, food trucks, live music, and good company- 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.

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 served as host to the Annual DD2 Foundation's evening fundraiser and has even hosted a few weddings. Just beside the farmhouse sits a small cottage that serves as the community coffee house.
