In 1998, Bob Yeomans took a wrong turn out of Greenbriar Shopping Center and got lost in a strange neighborhood. He began to notice an abundance of large and mature trees lining the sidewalks, and as he looked around, he remembered his childhood village in Northamptonshire, England. He showed the enclave to his wife, who also fell in love with it. They waited for a house to open up.

“We found it purely by accident. The neighborhood had everything — a couple of parks, a pool, a community center, a brook that runs through the center of Rocky Run,” he said. “The trees reminded me of when I was a youngster in England.” Still a resident, Yeomans invests in commercial apartments around the United States and sells real estate for Samson Realty.
