For generations, this land served as a center of learning and gathering for Waco. Today, we honor that history by transforming the former schoolhouse site into a vibrant, intentionally designed pocket neighborhood. By orienting homes around shared green spaces rather than asphalt, we are moving away from fences that separate us and returning to a lifestyle where neighbors truly know and look out for one another.

To bring this vision to life, we must build the “common ground,” the shared infrastructure that turns a development into a home. This capital campaign is dedicated to funding the heart of the neighborhood: lush parks, welcoming gazebos, and winding pathways that will knit this community together. These spaces are not merely amenities; they are the neighborhood’s living room, the stage where daily life will unfold, and the place where the spirit of the original schoolhouse will endure.

We invite you to leave your permanent mark on this landscape. Whether you choose to anchor the project with a lead-naming gift for a park, gazebo, bench, or heritage brick, or a general donation of any amount your contribution will be the catalyst for this new community.

Available sponsorships include:

Naming rights for a neighborhood park - $100,000 (2 available)

Custom bronze plaque on a dedicated Garden Bench - $10,000 (10 available)
