By: Villages of Urbana

Communities that utilize neo-traditional and mixed-use concepts continue to grow in popularity amongst homebuyers. Essentially, living in this type of community means that everyday conveniences are built alongside new, beautifully designed homes. With this ideal ‘recipe’ for an exceptional living experience, it’s no wonder more and more families today are seeking these innovative neighborhoods, like Villages of Urbana, for their next home!

And recently, an article by national news source, Deseret News, has been circulating throughout the industry. Titled The Holy Grail of Community Design, this detailed report covers the seemingly endless benefits of living in a mixed-use community for residents of all ages.

According to the article, there are been numerous studies and comments on the matter: David Bragdon, executive director of TransitCenter, believes creating mixed-use communities changes family life, making all generations healthier and helping communities to become more vibrant. Additionally, one expert, Tim Anker of Cushman and Wakefield Commerce, says that he believes, “what people are looking for in their community is all those services and amenities they are going to need regularly, all within a walkable reach.”
