A Day in the Life

“No doubt, it’s been a good day,” says Bob Hess after spending a day with this granddaughter, Emily.

Making time for family—especially their grandchildren—is a priority for Bob and Rosey Hess. Their spacious home in the Sycamore Springs neighborhood at Garden Spot Village provides a perfect space to host, with easy access to all the things children enjoy: a train room, made-to-order wood-fired pizza, ice cream, a movie theater, a library and more!

Garden Spot’s kid-friendly community makes intergenerational memories easy to make.

Your Story Matters

“Our grandkids love to visit. The house and community have a bit of a fantasyland feel to them,” Bob Hess says. Bob and his wife, Rosey, moved to the Sycamore Springs neighborhood at Garden Spot Village in June 2020. The pathways around their neighborhood allow for kid-friendly walks and the stream next to their home is a definite attraction, Rosey says. “The boys love to look for frogs in the creek. And, they are fascinated with our second floor. We keep toys in the spare bedroom upstairs and we have a short hallway where they love to create their own special space by closing all of the adjoining doors.”
