New Urbanism is just starting in the Greenville area, but I know that this is going on all over the country. The return to the layout of small towns and villages of America or traditional neighborhoods. So basically cookie cutters are out and villages return. They are even getting schools closer to the neighborhood so kids can walk to school, shopping, local markets, coffee shops and everything right at your finger tips.
So we are returning to the time of neighbors knowing one another. Smaller lots. Walking the kids to school, grabbing last minute items for dinner that night at the corner market.
So in the Greenville area, we now have Hollingsworth Park, Griffin Park and Acadia that are taking shape to be new urbanized...i guess that would be the correct use of the word.
So I ask out there how many agents are seeing this trend in your area. Has it been well precived. The prices of these homes seem to be a bit more then cookie cutter, but you get what you pay for. I know there will always be a place for cookie cutter neighborhoods, but are we beginning to move away from that?
Integrity. That sums it up. That is how I run my business and my life. I want to always make sure it is a win-win for everyone involved. I look forward to possible working with you!

How big is greenville? We are seeing the trend here in my area. Ashland, Oregon already has gone that route successfully, too. I like it
Greenville's population is about 58,000. Greenville counties population which includes all the smaller towns of Simpsonville, Mauldin, Travelers Rest and a few more is 417,000. I love the new look of things. I hope it is around to stay in the area!
i hope urban sprawl will become a thing of the past. Gas prices and long commute times will make living closer to work/shopping much more attractive.
I really like what Griffin Park is doing it is very diverse. You have homes of different price ranges all made different. Most neigborhoods have homes all in the low 100's, upper 100's, 500's, etc but Griffin Park has mixed the price range up. Love it
