Heron Pond sits within a gated 55+ neighborhood and keeps things quiet and safe, so you'll find folks walking along sidewalks with street lights, passing the lake and water features, waving as they go along the iron-fenced walking trails winding around the pond. Homes are single-family, built in 2014 and 2015, most with brick fronts or cement siding, and range in size, some with 3 bedrooms and 2 or more baths, and floor plans with main-level primary bedrooms, oversized master suites with walk-in closets, and bonus rooms or lofts for extra storage. You'll see things like a clubhouse with a gathering room, meeting space, exercise room, and a catering kitchen, so there's room for community meals, events, or just sitting by the wine and coffee bar with a neighbor. The outdoor areas offer a patio with curved brick walls and sustainable plants, a pergola, fire pit, a gazebo with a swing, and enclosed spaces for privacy and safety. Most homes have screen porches usable year-round, covered patios, inviting front porches, and private gardens or fenced backyards.
Inside you'll find kitchens fitted with double ovens, gas ranges, stone counters, kitchen islands, breakfast bars, and walk-in pantries, next to open great rooms with gas fireplaces, built-in bookcases, and high ceilings, some at 10 feet, with lots of windows for natural light. Features include energy efficient windows and doors, concrete or slab foundations, and attached two-car garages with epoxy floors. Many homes also have designer kitchens with custom cabinets, granite counters, upgraded lighting, dry bars, and built-in wine fridges. There's accessible design in doorways and halls with grip-accessible features, and several plans even have a reading nook, media room, or study for hobbies or guest space.
Heron Pond aims to give people plenty to do, with scheduled daily activities, movie nights, fitness programs, arts and crafts, resident-run groups, and outdoor events planned in the garden spaces or along fishing docks. Residents get access to club amenities like a fitness center, library, arts room, game room, outdoor walking paths, and a clubhouse. Services cover dining with a professional chef, all-day meal options, restaurant-style dining, allergy-sensitive plates, and diabetic diet choices. Staff offer help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication management, and 24-hour supervised care for those who need it, including support for dementia and Alzheimer's. There are call systems for emergencies and laundry, housekeeping, move-in help, concierge, and family support. Heron Pond provides personalized care in both private and shared apartments, with neighborhood names like Heron Crossing and Kingfisher Cove giving a community feel. With a homeowners association covering yard care, safety, and amenities, and being close to places like Downtown Woodstock and shopping, the neighborhood offers comfort and peace of mind, with homes kept up and spaces set aside for gathering, walking, and winding down. Most homes come with central cooling, forced air heat, and flooring in hardwood or carpet, so there's comfort whatever the season. Homes often include upgraded finishes, attached garages, a laundry room on the main level, and views of landscaping or ponds. You'll see folks gardening, relaxing by the fire pit, fishing a little, or just enjoying the community's quiet paths, tucked behind secured front and back gates.
