Urban Living
CHARACTER AND INTENT Urban Living provides a range of housing choices, including higher density options for young professionals attracted to the jobs created in the city’s business parks and urban centers, as well as empty nesters who want to downsize while maintaining an attachment to the community where they have lived for many years.
