December 20, 2012. Ridgeland, Mississippi. A Reservation.

Ken and I have reserved a condominium at Harbor Walk, the new project at the end of the lake.    We spotted the sign several years ago and stopped to chat with John, the General Manager.  He was very nice and we looked at the design and the floor plans, but they could not begin construction due to the economy.  No one would finance the project, which included condominiums, a commercial building and a hotel.  Most of the condos were under contract but the project was stuck in the mud and John, although hopeful, was frustrated.  

The new condominiums are on a smaller scale and have a whole new design.   The old project is dead, but this new smaller building will succeed, we believe.    So far, they have no building permits, but beginning in January, their advertising will begin.  The building has five floors, overlooking the lake.  The unit we have chosen is on the top floor.  It has two bedrooms plus a small sitting area off the master bedroom, two and one half bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, living room combination, and a balcony.  We expect construction will begin in the Spring and perhaps will be complete in 2014.

What we want in a new condo is more space and more bathrooms.   We want to have everything on one floor.  And we want friends and relatives be able to stay with us when they visit Jackson.  We are preparing for our future.
