Community is becoming one of the most valuable aspects of our lives as we search for places to work, raise children, make friends, be close to family, and age in place. The social support that is afforded by community is increasingly sought by homeowners of all ages.

Community can blend private spaces around your home and garden with public spaces that accommodate our need to gather, visit, work, and play. EBG designed communities include common areas, land that is “ours”, the community hub.

Beautifully designed private homes with intimate yards and gardens may front on a pedestrian street or common green, park, or natural area. Most circulation will be pedestrian with parking and streets to the rear of homes. A “common house” may contain a kitchen, dining area, library, small theater, entertainment area, and guest rooms. This could function for meetings, group dinners, music, and reading; providing a place to visit and connect.

We believe that Community is going to be the most sought out amenity of the next decade.
