New Urbanism neighborhoods are made up of grid -like streets lined with sidewalks and a variety of living, entertainment, work and shopping options. This is a refreshing departure from single use developments, such as strip malls, apartment complexes, and office buildings, where driving is required to go from one place to other.

In a "New Urban" neighborhood, you will find:

• Easy access to the necessities of life and business thoughtfully planned into the development.
• Smart growth with a "Main Street" feel
• Safe streets with interesting places to walk and meet.
• Beautiful architecture paired with attentive urban planning creating stimulating
  and comfortable places to live, rooted in rich tradition and looking ahead to
  pre-empt the problems associated with urban sprawl.

New Urbanism is actually old idea based on the planning done by community leaders in 1700s, when it was necessary for there to be easy access to work and shopping. New Urbanism is a return to this ideal, which is essential to restoring highly functional, easily sustainable communities.

New Urban design does not directly reproduce old communities. Modern living spaces and amenities must be provided in order to provide a forward-looking community with excellent quality of life. New Urban designs offer all the amenities of the suburban developments, plus a centrality and ease of living that no conventional subdivision can offer. Stores and businesses have plenty of parking and current floor plans. It is a traditional way of life energized & renewed!
