Stalwood at New Amherst
New Amherst is a leading-edge new urbanist community designed by the famed architectural firm of Duany-Plater-Zyberk Ltd. Based on the principle that homes should have a close and friendly relationship to the street, one of the most notable features of new urbanism is that garages are located at the rear, accessed by laneways that run behind the properties. Many Stalwood new homes choices at New Amherst include large front porches that invite conversation and communion with casual passers-by. The master plan for the community, which is designed to encourage pedestrian traffic, also boasts numerous parks, a commercial district featuring shops and office space, and a central clock tower in the village square. Close proximity to the lake and to the Northumberland Mall makes the location convenient for shopping and attractive for recreation seekers.
