We recently moved to The Waters, also known as ”Our Happy Place.” When asked to write about what we love about this neighborhood it’s really hard to know where to start. There are so many wonderful aspects to life in The Waters. From the amazing wildlife you’ll see daily to the friendly faces on the porches. It’s truly a one of a kind place. Being a golf cart friendly community, and very social I might add, we ride everyday to enjoy the scenery and beautiful homes. You never know what you might see by the water (a blue heron disobeying our community’s catch and release policy) or who you might have a chat with along the way. The people are friendly and the lake water is calming. In this world what more can you ask for than to live among caring folks and enjoy the peacefulness of The Waters.

When my husband and I began searching for a home in 2023, we knew we wanted a neighborhood that was safe, friendly, and beautiful. We found that at The Waters! Whether we’re taking the kids fishing or enjoying an evening walk as a family, we love how the beauty of our neighborhood encourages us to spend time outdoors. We’re grateful to call this community our home.

After my husband passed away, I felt like a change would be good for me. In February 2024 I purchased a home in the Waters. When I pulled into the neighborhood I felt like I was “home.” It is a dream come true. It has a small town feel with the friendliest people I have ever met. Everyone waves when you pass them and offers a hand when I need it. The amenities are incredible. My grandchildren love the pool and soon we will try kayaks and the pontoon boats. There is literally something for everyone. Tennis and pickleball are on my to-do list, too. So far, my favorite part about the Waters is that it is golf cart friendly. There is nothing more peaceful than riding along the lake at sunset. I am so happy to call the Waters my home and look forward to this new chapter in my life.

There is something about leaving the hustle and bustle of work and coming home to the peaceful setting in the Waters. My boys and I love the fantastic amenities and have enjoyed meeting our neighbors. It’s truly a great community and we could not be happier!

I bought a homesite in The Waters community and couldn’t be happier! Originally, I wanted to purchase at Lake Martin, but received an email and call from my realtor, Becky Haigler, who insisted (in her nice way) that I should look at properties in The Waters. So, I figured that I would take a look at the properties and move on to something I really wanted. However, I was just so surprised that a community like that, with all its amenities, which includes world class fishing, actually existed close to Montgomery. Once I saw one of the beautiful lake houses, I had to have one. I shared with Becky before we started working together that I probably wasn’t going to be an easy customer. She was incredibly patient, kind, considerate, and understanding of my unique circumstances. I can’t tell you how many times I toured the neighborhood before deciding on a location. All I can say is that Becky was accommodating along the way. Even after I chose the lot and signed the contract, Becky continued to work with me on zeroing in on the type of house that I would build on it and continues to this day. She pays close attention to details and even shared a sketch with me of a house that I described, in casual conversation. She was there at closing with some great gifts – totally surprised me. In the past, I’ve purchased five properties, but never received champagne and chairs to view the beautiful sunsets. There’s so much more that I can share with you, but it would take too long. All I can say is, if you are looking for a house by the lake, call Becky and tour The Waters community. Both Becky and The Waters community are awesome! Tre Spencer

“Allen and I have looked at The Waters for years. With real estate the way it was, we decided it was time! We love the sense of community, the architecture (I LOVE the porches) and the feel of a small town atmosphere. I’m looking forward to decorating for Christmas and every holiday from now on in the best neighborhood. When we turn in, Allen says “Can you believe we finally live here?” It’s a great feeling!” 

“We moved to The Waters in 2018 for the opportunity to raise our family in such a unique setting of beauty, nature, and community that this neighborhood offers. We were drawn in by the beautiful streetscapes, the unmatched amenities, and the kids that were playing outside on nearly every block each time we visited. Fast forward to now, and we’re getting settled into our second home in The Waters and have loved our new Russell Construction home in Dawson Creek. The attention to detail in construction, the perfect combination of modern, yet timeless, design elements and fixtures, and the thoughtful and functional floorplan truly make this house feel like ‘home.’ Even our daughter, Collier Emeline, hasn’t stopped talking about how much she loves it!”

We came to The Waters not expecting to stay. We thought we’d rent a place for a few months while we searched the Pike Road area for a few acres and a place to make a home. The first evening in our new place, some neighbors brought food and wine and introduced themselves; and things only got better from there. We never actually got around to looking for another property because we found ourselves involved in all of the events and happenings with neighbors and new friends we’d made. In pretty short order, we admitted to each other that we’d really just like to stay in The Waters and make a home of it. All this might seem fairly mundane until you consider the fact that Pike Road is our 15th location together in 30 years. We’ve lived a lot of places and could have chosen any of them, but The Waters has a sense of community that we never felt as strongly in any of the other locations. We love the place and the people

We bought our home in The Waters this summer. Having visited the neighborhood several times prior to finding our new home, living here seemed like a dream. With the wonderful help of our realtor Larry “LJ”  Smith, we toured the neighborhood and realized this was definitely the dream we wanted to come true. LJ was able to find the perfect home for us and made our dream a reality. We have been overjoyed since the day we moved in. It is absolutely beautiful out here and every day feels like a vacation. We feel so blessed to be able to call The Waters home.

As you drive through The Waters to Dawson Creek you wind around the beautiful Lake Cameron that invokes a sense of serenity and calm. Whether you’re gazing out in the early morning as the fog is rising over the lake, or taking in one of the magnificent sunsets you can’t help but marvel at nature and its peacefulness. Front porch living here is more than waving at neighbors as they walk by, it’s where neighbors become friends. In a world that can sometimes be disconnected – here you connect, you stop and have conversations, you give a helping hand. The Waters is more than just a neighborhood, but more importantly, we are a community that’s neighborly to each other. Come join us.
