HISTORY
When Windrush Creek was first envisioned back in the early 1970’s, it was planned as an equestrian community. In the original plat maps, the individual properties were much smaller and over half of the nearly 65 acres, making up Windrush I was set aside as riding paths. A stable was planned for the corner of Havens Corners Rd. and Taylor Station. Before the first house was constructed, the developer dropped the idea of the equestrian community in favor of larger lots and a planned development. Our POA was one of the very first community corporations in the State of Ohio for a community association not part of a condominium community.
It differs from a condo association in that each home is a fee simple property and you own the inside, outside and the land surrounding your home. You are automatically a member of the POA when you buy a property in Windrush Creek POA and as such there are certain rules that apply to all properties in the association. Some of those rules are holdovers from the equestrian concept. Because there were bridle paths around, behind and between each property, no fences were allowed.
This gives us a unique open feeling that remains today. Each home is unique, making us different from the planned cookie cutter condo communities. We each have a role in keeping Windrush Creek the special place in Franklin County that we love and call home.
