History & Future

The grand vision of Ed Welch and Dale Walker, the founders of The Waters, has become a beautiful reality for hundreds of families that call the neighborhood home. Its American small town ambiance, wide sidewalks, narrow streets, hidden parking and large prominent front porches were part of a master plan to return to the way life was always supposed to be lived. Building on a beautiful history, ARK Real Estate Strategies, LLC remains true to the original vision of the founders as they enhance the neighborhood with amenities and features that will continue to bring life into a better balance for those who call The Waters home. 

Town of Pike Road

Though the Town of Pike Road, Alabama has only formally existed for a little over a decade, the history of the community itself goes back more than 175 years. Within it lies a rich legacy of stewardship—bold actions taking care of both the land and of each other. For residents of The Waters, the benefits are considerable. 

Pike Road, AL has planned for growth that preserves rural traditions and lifestyles. For example, the town's zoning encourages smart growth which, in the case of The Waters, means we can grow as a series of compact hamlets—and preserve land for community use. In terms of both property and sales tax, it costs you less to live in Pike Road. And, Pike Road is actively working towards creation of its own school system, including the new kindergarten through eighth grade Pike Road School, with a high school to follow, located right at The Waters, planned for a 2015 opening.
