A Chinese Proverb, French Friends, Celtic Strength, and Two Awesome Women create Nanterre Street in the Gardens at Rockwater.

In naming the streets of Rockwater Village, the founders, Jim Jackson and Lisa Ferrell, sought to honor and remember people they love. In doing so, they added meaning to things frequently taken for granted, such as home addresses.

We all have a family history—a past of great grandparents, a long-ago home country, events that shaped our families trajectory. Land has a history too. At Rockwater, we strive to build the future while honoring the past.

In designing Rockwater Village, the founders sought to create a neighborhood with beautiful houses and the highest quality of life. Homes are moments from the Arkansas River, a bike trail, downtown, and much more. The developers also sought to provide a meaningful sense of place. Embracing and honoring history serves to add meaning to ordinary things.

Meet Chad Young, the architect responsible for some of Rockwater's most beautiful homes. As the CEO of WD&D Architects, Chad told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that he grew up wanting to be an architect. We think that childhood passion is on clear display in his work product!
