How Gingerwood was built
Every street in Gingerwood ends in the same syllable. Briarwood, Fernwood, Kingswood, Lancewood, Parkwood, Pepperwood, Pinewood, Ravenwood, Seawood, Stonewood and Whitewood are all courts, and Gingerwood Circle threads them together. Twelve streets, one suffix, no exceptions.
The homes date from the early 1970s, with most built in 1972 and 1973 and a few running to 1975. The association was built with a pool, a clubhouse, a playground and common greenbelts, which is what the cul-de-sac layout is for: the courts do the parking and the shared ground does the rest. The city counts 201 addresses inside the boundary across 29.1 acres.
