Neighborhood Design

Here, life is calculated in footsteps, not miles.

Lose your car keys, put on your walking shoes. Each residence is within a five- to seven-minute walk of the town center or a major destination such as a park or the river. The town center is truly a “centering point” for community-wide social interaction.

A mix of retail spaces, such as cafes, barbershops and sandwich shops provides an essential “third place, apart from home and career, where people feel comfortable visiting with neighbors of all ages. Every street offers its own natural green space, its own “outdoor room,” another opportunity for social interaction. It seems as if everywhere you look there are green spaces, walking trails, pocket parks, playgrounds, or a village green. Traditional neighborhood design includes thoughtful planning to allow the best aspects of the land to remain natural for all residents to enjoy.
