Description of project:
Davidson, NC was named after Davidson College one of the nation’s top liberal arts colleges with approximately 1,700 students. Located on Main Street near stores, library and Post Office, the architecture of the college’s old buildings and trees present the picture of the quintessential small college town and was recently described as one of the “new Ivy League” colleges.
One mile from Main Street, the New Neighborhood is adjacent to older Davidson with its homes built from the turn of the twentieth century through 1950. Making the New Neighborhood part of older Davidson was one of the developer and town’s major objectives.
St. Alban’s Episcopal Church built in the classical Anglican style is one of the first things encountered when entering the New Neighborhood creating a perception that the New Neighborhood has been there a long time. The neighborhood includes townhomes, single-family homes and eight offices for rent. Although the town now wishes the New Neighborhood had a coffee shop the town did not approve any retail uses.
Copyright 2008 Boone Communities, Douglas Boone
Description of project (continued):
About twenty-two percent of the land has been designated open space including a 100-foot wide natural gas transmission line right-of-way bisecting the property that connects seven parks totaling fourteen acres to be owned and maintained by the town.
The New Neighborhood has attracted demographically diverse buyers of all ages with one thing in common, they want to live in Davidson and the New Neighborhood for what they perceive to be a higher quality of life. After they move-in, their experience confirms their quality of life expectations, which reinforces their enthusiasm about living in the New Neighborhood and Davidson.
Town residents felt subdivision names separate neighborhoods from neighbors and surroundings. In order to create perception the new neighborhood was part of older Davidson, the developer and marketing consultants created a name that was a description of the desired outcome: “A New Neighborhood in Old Davidson”. REALTORS confirmed the strategy worked by identifying the neighborhood in MLS as “Old Davidson”.
Copyright 2008 Boone Communities, Douglas Boone
Description of project (continued):
Homeowners appear to be sinking roots, getting involved with their neighbors and participating in the many civic, recreational and cultural opportunities within the town.
About ten percent of the homeowners living in the New Neighborhood have joined St. Alban’s Episcopal Church.
Almost every single-family home and many townhomes has a front porch
All homes are located twenty to thirty feet from the street
Sidewalks and street trees parallel both sides of every street creating an explicit invitation to get out and meet neighbors including those walking through from adjoining neighborhoods.
