Most young families buy their first home "because of" their children. Shouldn't the house that's bought "because of" children be in a REAL neighborhood that is designed "for" children?
HomeTown provides children with a free range - In HomeTown, without encountering a car going more than 20 mph; children can
- Walk to 8 Neighborhoods and 8 private Neighborhood Parks
- They can walk to 3 natural prairie areas with ponds or wetlands
- They can walk to 2 larger public parks
- They can walk to the Neighborhood Store & Café
- They can walk to the Post Office
- They can walk to the town center shops & offices
- They can play in the streets and Living Lanes
- And they can walk to school.
Again - they can do all this without encountering a car going more than 20 mph.
