A formerly failed public housing project is now a 100% affordable townhouse project\u00a0 with \u201cdefensible space\u201d design techniques, such as front stoops and windows placed as \u201ceyes on the street\u201d, used to engage residents with their neighborhood while creating a sense of place and pride and helping avoid the patterns of isolation and decay of the former project.\u00a0 Individual entries, varied roof forms and color contrasts provide a sense of individuality to each home.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Included is a 10,000 sf. Life-Long Learning Center with community rooms, classrooms and recreation facilities, as well as a public park with sports fields.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
