Some of the strange ones I've seen, mostly in the northwest part of town:

Box Springs (looked at a model home there)

Jimmy Buffet Street (Yes, they spelled it with one T like the food emporiums at casinos, not the way the man spells his name. I'm sure he is deeply honored to have a street named after him with his name misspelled.)

Soaring Gulls (very appropriate in a city more than four hours from the ocean)

Golden Talon

Everclear Court

Tumbling Street

Backpacker Court

Silk Fire Street

Peaceful Port Street

Dappled Light

Meandering Path Avenue (Meandering Light is a street in the same development)

Guava Nectar Avenue

Rustling Leaf Drive (I didn't realize that a single leaf could rustle)

Sunporch Street

I could go on practically forever about the bizarre street names in this city. Some developers apparently ran out of ideas and decided to just throw random words together. The names of some of the housing developments aren't much better. Quarterhorse Falls. Really? There are no quarterhorses, and there certainly aren't any falls.
Let me add...

Chilly Pond

Dancing Daffodil

Leaping Lilly

Jumpin Juniper

I like the Tolkien-themed streets in Mountain's Edge: Mirkwood Ave., Gildor Ct., Arwen St., Baggins St.

Why isn't there a Mordor Ln., Barad Dur Ave., Gollum Rd., or Nazgul Blvd.?


Who owns Harmony Homes? Sauron?
