Why Live in Ward Heights

Ward Heights, located in Opelika, is a neighborhood established in the 1950s and ’60s, characterized by mature trees and rolling terrain. The area features midcentury ranch and split-level homes, many with colonial-influenced designs such as columns, and typically includes driveways or carports instead of garages. Families enjoy nearby Municipal Park with its playgrounds and baseball field, while Floral Park, just over a mile away, is undergoing renovations to include new turf fields, an inclusive playground, and a splash pad. The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Grand National, about 6 miles away, offers three 18-hole courses and has hosted PGA Tour events. Downtown Opelika, a little over a mile from Ward Heights, is a hub for shopping and dining, with popular spots like Zazu Gastropub and Cafe 123, as well as newer businesses like Red Clay Brewing Company. For groceries, residents have access to Winn-Dixie and Piggly Wiggly, both roughly 2 miles away, and additional shopping at the Tiger Town shopping center 4 miles southwest. The neighborhood is part of the Opelika City Schools district, with highly rated schools such as Jeter Primary, Morris Avenue Intermediate, Opelika Middle, and Opelika High. Ward Heights is car-dependent but offers access to downtown Opelika by car, bike, or foot, with sidewalks on many quieter roads. I-85 is less than 3 miles away, providing a route to Atlanta, 100 miles northeast.
