Our Philosophy & New Urbanism Design
The Habersham Town Plan was based on the planning principles inherent to small southern towns throughout the region. Prior to the first conceptual design, we toured many historic villages, neighborhoods and civic squares and studied the details that make up the aesthetic and functional character of these great places.
Our town plan was intricately laid amidst the delicate natural landscape with particular attention given to the outdoor public realm of parks and greenways for residents to inhabit and enjoy surrounding the homes. By creating streetscapes that are safe and pleasant, one is naturally drawn out of the home to spend more time walking and getting to know neighbors throughout the town. As a direct result of neighbors knowing and caring for one another, there evolves an inherent sense of security.
Coming in 2026… New parks. New paths. New possibilities.
Take a closer look as Habersham continues to grow... We’re expanding the M.A.K.E. District while adding green spaces, a pool complex, luxury apartments, and everyday connections!
With the original town plan largely complete, Habersham is extending its walkable New Urbanism into an adjacent tract that grows both our residential footprint and the Marketplace’s M.A.K.E. District. The plan adds new parks and amenities while knitting Olde Towne and New Towne into one connected town fabric.
