- Unique Homes Wrapped in Nature
Built with quality and character, our homes evoke a sense of timelessness with their classic architecture. Beautiful craftsman-style designs and seamless stonework facades create continuity throughout our community, while each home exudes its own unique charm. Step inside, and the same attention to detail marks every aspect of their interiors—from high-quality KitchenAid® appliances and pristine granite countertops to sustainable features, including Lennox® programmable thermostats and Pella® windows. Our commitment to protecting the town’s natural environment is reflected in our efforts to preserve native trees, by relocating and replanting them once construction’s complete. The result is beautiful homes wrapped in nature, shaded by deciduous plants that have been here for generations.
- A Neighborly Atmosphere
Spend an evening on our homes’ wide Southern-style front porches, and you’ll quickly be greeted by a host of friendly neighbors. Our walkable streets create frequent interactions as neighbors stroll to dinner, the seasonal farmer’s market, local elementary schools, and a wide variety of community activities. Friendships grow from monthly meetings with the Mt Laurel Garden Club, Sunday mornings at Double Oak Community Church, and barre classes at Turtleback Park. There’s an event for every interest with opportunities to connect with people who love the same things you do. See our calendar for upcoming events.
- Exceptional Elementary Schools
With two elementary schools in walking distance, parents and children experience an opportunity few other communities offer, plus the option of public or private school. Whether you choose Mt Laurel Elementary or Hilltop Montessori School, students receive an exceptional education that includes immersion in foreign languages and technology as well as individualized instruction that meets each child’s unique needs and talents. As children grow older, the Mt Laurel area gives students the ability to attend nationally recognized Shelby County Schools and countless private schools, including Indian Springs School, The Altamont School, and Briarwood Christian School among others.
