Why people move here

A 1,400-acre lake community with its own Publix and elementary school.

Some communities give you a pool. Waterleigh gives you a whole day. The community wraps around Hickorynut Lake, roughly 350 acres of water, and spreads across about 1,400 acres of Horizon West with two resort-style pools, a fishing pier, mini golf, nature trails, a community garden and a 5,000 square foot clubhouse.
Daily errands stay close too. There is a Publix inside the community, and Atwater Bay Elementary sits within Waterleigh’s boundaries. Homes by D.R. Horton and Emerald Homes range from townhomes to larger single-family plans, and lawn maintenance is included. For relocators who want to land somewhere that already feels complete, this is one of the first places I show.
Relocators who want everything in one place and upsizers who want amenities they will actually use.
