PAUMEanyone? Did you know that paume, the French work for palm, was a court* game in 12th century France, whereby a ball was volleyed back and forth, using the palm of the hand? As the game grew in polularity, so did the name, which became jeu de paume, and rackets were introduced. This game, beginning as paume, evolved centuries later to the contemporary game of TENNIS, now a worldwide and olympic game of skill and strength, recreation and fun. Bring your game to Auburn, Alabama. You'll love the new, 10-acre Tennis Center, located on Richland Road. Come out and play! Comment d'un jeu de tennis?

*courtyards were the main, social gathering places back then, around the castles and in village centers.

Traditionally, the naming of land has always been of great importance to its people, since it bears some recollection of the legacy or story behind it.  THE COTSWOLDS in Auburn, Alabama is so named as the Development aspires to recreate an authentic ambiance, inspired by countryside on the outskirts of London that is known for its serene landscapes, cottages, and simply beautiful design that has taken in many travelers and endured for centuries.  From Shug Jordan Parkway, travel west on RICHLAND ROAD to the entrance of this master planned, 500-acre community. As of August 2007, the Developer, in conjunction with the City of Auburn, has funded the reconstruction of the once narrow, 16-foot trail to its completion as a 35-FOOT WIDE ROAD, with curbs, gutters, and 8-foot sidewalks! Within the first quarter-mile, you can view the beautiful 10-acre Yarborough Tennis Complex that has both indoor and outdoor courts. You will also find the new Richland Road Elementary School that is scheduled to open this fall. One mile down this road, you'll be greeted by the English-style gatehouse &  stone entrance to THE COTSWOLDS, where new homes are being built, starting at $279,000. Incredible homes, incredibly priced! Here is a picture of the front door on mls #51463, just so you can see the beautiful detail and craftsmanship. Believe it or not, in the world of real estate, opportunity is knocking every day!
