An attached two car garage, oak kitchen cabinets and nine foot ceilings are standard in most dwellings.
Home exteriors are white or light colored, giving Heritage Hawk a uniform look. Tree lined neighborhood lanes do not have sidewalks, and ponds and walking paths throughout the community help create a soothing ambiance.

The 18 hole golf course winds its way through neighborhoods and around amenities, giving Heritage a serene, suburban quality. The well-appointed, 10,000 square foot clubhouse features a beautiful reception area, vaulted ceilings, a fitness center, a library and an arts and crafts room, making it a busy gathering spot. The Hawkeye Grill serves drinks and food.
