Living in Woodsong

Passage & Garage Appt.

Where you live is how you live. How your neighborhood, home and homesite are arranged directly affects your daily quality of life. Woodsong is a TND (Traditional Neighborhood Development). This means that everything has been designed and built first and foremost from the pedestrian perspective. Community life flourishes when neighbors, parks and natural areas are nearby and easy to walk to. In this busy world it is not possible to plan every interaction. The world experienced on foot is different; slower, measured, unfolding. Details of trees, plants and architecture and impromptu conversations can be enjoyed in a deeper way when walking.

Courtyard garden between carport & house

Woodsong’s homes are sited differently also. Although our lots are more compact, the living experience migrates outside your home to the welcoming front porches for socializing, back screen porches for outdoor dining and to the rear courtyard gardens for privacy and solace. These indoor and outdoor rooms broaden the choices for our residents based on their personalities and particular preferences for that day

Rear screened porch & garage/office

Rear accessory buildings support the primary residence by providing garages, storage, apartments, guest quarters and home offices. This enables the street front to be reserved for people and porches instead of cars. The trees, plantings, house, fences and accessory buildings provide a mosaic of living and man-made spaces that nurture your daily life.

Front porch & low maintenance yard

All things require tending. Woodsong encourages construction and landscape choices that reduce the amount of time and money required for routine maintenance. This enables graceful aging and reflects the unique beauty of our native plants. Green homes cost less to operate and
are healthier to live in. Sustainable landscapes that are already adapted to our area require less money, time, irrigation and other inputs to maintain. While meeting your personal needs for a home you are practicing stewardship for the larger environment that Woodsong is a part of in a mutually beneficial cycle. Good for you. Good for nature.
