Neighborhood: The Enterprise Country Club

Why Leigh Cassady Loves Her Neighborhood!            

Green Summer Links



I wish I had a fancy camera so I could just show you why I love my neighborhood! I walk a lot and every time I turn the corner I see something picturesque. Wild heron stand poised to find their daily meal in the still waters of spring-fed lakes. Right now the fall color is brilliant, but in the spring the dogwoods and banks of azaleas blow my mind.



Wonderful Fall Colors!



I love my neighborhood because I can play golf or fish whenever I want to. People travel the neighborhood, even Trick or Treat, in golf carts. In the summer the children ride their bikes or walk to go swimming or get a grilled cheese sandwich at Enterprise Country Club.

I love my neighborhood because it is safe. People fly the American flag where I live. The homes are a mixture from modest to grand. Traffic is low. The only thing crowding the streets are baby strollers, walkers, runners and bicyclists. The trees are thick here and the landscape is dotted with stocked lakes. It’s like quiet country living, but a four-lane road takes you the 4-5 miles to Enterprise.

I live in the ECC Club area and there are several neighborhoods that are included in my utopia. They include Creek Point, Honeysuckle Hills, Victorian Way, Indigo Place and Country Club Meadows. Cotton Creek and Sommer Brook are a stone’s throw away. And I love it here!





Very Interesting Reading

The following is a link to a FORBES blog page, so there will be a couple of commercials that will display before the post, but it is a very interesting article:

If this is true, I think the evidence will become apparent by the summer and interest rates will begin to rise shortly.  It is a good time to buy a house!

Enterprise Alabama Neighborhoods: Gateway Estates

Gateway Estates:  What a lovely neighborhood!  I love driving home and winding my way through the neighborhood.  It doesn't matter what the time of day or the month of the year, it is beautiful.  Some mornings there is this mystic mist that rises off the lakes and just gives me chills.  Then later in the morning the sun will glisten off the water and make the ripples sparkle.  The streets in Gateway wind around and it is so easy to get lost.  Make sure your house guests can follow directions before telling them how to get to your house, or make sure they have a GPS!  You know, most of the neighborhood still has above ground utilities but you don't notice because of all of the trees. 

If you love nature, you'll love Gateway.  The other day there was a mama deer walking around my pool with twin fawns with spots all along their sides, following behind.  One night I had to wait for the deer to get out of my driveway so that I could get into the garage.  There have been  many times I've seen a flock of turkey in my yard and a couple of Toms showing their tail feathers, is that how you describe it when they show their stuff?  Anyway, it is cool.

One afternoon my husband and I were leaving the neighborhood and as we crossed one of the dams we heard this squawking from a duck as it tried to fly into the air but just as it tried to fly a bob cat jumped into the air and caught this duck in mid air!  That was one amazing afternoon.  Just take a drive through and see for yourself?    It's an eclectic neighborhood too....... homes built in the mid 70's and homes built in the last couple of years.  Gateway has it all; from homes in the 1,800 square foot range to over 5,000 square feet.  You can find it all here nested between Highway 167 North and Shellfield Road. 

So, what do you like about Gateway Estates (and Spearpoint, since you can't tell when you leave Gateway and enter Spearpoint).  To find homes for sale in Gateway Estates and Spearpoing just click here and search.
