Spring has officially arrived and the local parks are already buzzing with daily activity. Whether you’re interested in a family picnic, bike trails or kayaking, New Braunfels is sure to have a natural public space for you. In Town Creek, we want to continue this tradition of incorporating public parks into the community, and we have open spaces planned alongside houses, lofts, townhouses and retail spaces.

Halloween Traditions and New Urbanism
Halloween is an ideal time to consider the integrity and design of our neighborhoods. Is motor vehicle traffic slow enough to allow our kids to roam free at night? Are the streets well-lit?

When Robert Davis inherited 80 acres of costal land in the pandhandle of Florida from his grandfather in 1978, he had a vision. Davis set out to create an old-fashioned beach town with modern innovations: “A town seamlessly tied by a common sense of community… Simple. Beautiful. Graceful. Elegant.” He succeeded, his ambitions resulting in Seaside, one of the first New Urbanist communities in America. Now, this community is celebrating its 30th birthday.
