VALLEY STREAMS Neighborhood Just off Shellfield Road

The next time you turn up Shellfield Road towards the Army heliport Shellfield. Take just a few minutes to turn right on Wellston. There is no pomp and circumstance or grandiose entry to this quiet little neighborhood of four streets. As you turn on the Bradford Pear tree lined street, you will turn right on West Kingswood. The yards are all well maintained and all look pleasing to your senses.

As the road turns you pass by a two story home that Jim and Lori live in with their family. They had a pleasant surprise a couple of years ago. Twins! A surprise since they had teenage girls. As you slow to the stop sign, there is Justin’s house. We are all so happy for him and his achievements. He is in graduate school at Auburn and has just gotten engaged. That will be a beautiful wedding.

There are more beautiful, well maintained homes, as you pass George’s house, he built a detached garage to house his pride and joy corvette. The next street to the left is Wentworth. There are not that many houses on this little stretch of our neighborhood. Then you turn left back on to Wellston, you’ll notice more quiet areas of the quaint little piece of heaven we have. On the right you see where Angel and his family live, their daughter is a freshman at Auburn and they have definitely been showing their sprit this year.

As you are slowing to stop at another stop sign, on this corner you will see Bill’s house. He sets the standard for the lawn care. If he mows, we mow. If he fertilizes, we fertilize. He sets the bar for our lawns quite high. Just when you think you are about to head out of our neighborhood the way you came in, you must opt to turn right on to Inglewood. You will most likely see Tyler’s dad in his garage working on his latest project, who knows what it will be next, another jeep, motorcycle, or a car. He is always busy.

As you make the bend around the street, please watch out, you never know when you will find one of our residences walking. And depending on what time a day you are coming through our beautiful area you might find James leaving to have his lunch at the Good to Go, as he does on a daily basis. Your tour of this quiet little area of our great town is just about done as you pass Ashleigh’s house. She is bound to be playing at the college level next year after she graduates from Enterprise High School. We just don’t know if she will be playing volleyball or basketball, or maybe even both.

At the stop sign you will turn right. You are now back on Wentworth, and just about to pass my home on the left. We moved here in 2001 when my husband was transferred here to Fort Rucker. He is retired now and we have continued to make Enterprise and especially this neighborhood our home. As my neighbor, Norman and I were just talking, we love our neighborhood. It’s quiet and has not been tarnished in any way. Houses come available for sale occasionally, when we lose one of our friends to a transfer for their job or the military comes a calling. We invite you to come and tour the home; you will fall in love with it and will want to make your home here. Welcome to our neighborhood and to our family. I know you are going to be as happy as all of us are.
