People often picture condos as stacked units and shared walls—but step into Winding Ridge and you're looking at something different. These are large custom-built homes sitting on 1.4-acre lots, each with its own inground pool, hot tub, and completely fenced backyard. Built in 1994 on 19 acres near Rockford, the community runs anywhere from 2,200 to 3,825 square feet with four or five bedrooms—the kind of space that doesn't feel like compromising on anything. Homes here run around $450K to $695K+, and the setup means you get the convenience of condo living without the cramped feeling.
