Trails and rails are the focus of this 131-unit townhomecommunity, combining the attraction of natural preserves with the convenience of an adjacent light-rail station. To increase the sense of neighborhood, a New Urbanist approach was used in designing the units, including courtyards and front porches with space to sit and chat. The townhomes, constructed as individual fee-simple buildings, mostly are clustered in groups of four. To emphasize individuality, each unit is defined by architectural style and color, encompassing nine plans and two elevations for each plan. The 33-acre site embraces a protected wetland area as central green space.
