Vintage Township

What do you think of when you hear “Traditional Neighborhood Development”? Well, it really is kind of what it sounds like and more. Traditional Neighborhood Developments (or TNDS) like Vintage Township are neighborhoods that are planned and built in the tradition of communities and neighborhoods built before World War II, with one very unique and special factor.

Before a brick is laid or a road built, the creator of a TND in addition to many architects and urban planners sit down and plan every aspect of the neighborhood in minute and careful detail.  They plan so that every part of the neighborhood will have its own parks and green spaces within walking distance. They plan on where and what type of amenities will be included so that whether you are a single retiree or a young family, you will have places to enjoy. Everything from the line of the streetscape to the housing mix is planned beforehand.

The result is an innovative approach that creates an efficient use of every home site and amenity space in walkable, beautifuly designed flowing spaces. Traditional Neighborhood Developments emphasize a return to the way we used to build neighborhoods, with a focus on promoting true community and spaces with a lively and diverse possibility of uses.

The following  are the top 8 features that typically define a TND:

1. The neighborhood has a easily identifiable center. This is usually a square or green and sometimes a busy or memorable street corner.

2. Most homes are within a 5 minute walk of the town center.

3. There are a variety of home types and sizes – so that older and younger people, singles and families, may find places to live that all exist harmoniously in the same community

4. There are small playgrounds within easy access of every home – not more than a tenth of a mile away

5. Streets within the neighborhood form a connected network, which disperses traffic and provides a variety of pedestrian and driving traffic routes to any destination

6. The streets are relatively narrow and shaded by rows of trees. This slows traffic, seeking to create a pleasant environment for pedestrians, children and bicycles.

7. Buildings in the neighborhood center are placed close to the street, creating a well-defined community space.

8. Parking lots and garage doors rarely front the street. Parking is relegated to the rear of buildings, usually accessed by alleys.
