Walkability

In both The Villages and Lawson Hills core areas have been connected by trails, bringing people together for communal experiences. Front porch architecture fosters a sense of community where neighbors know neighbors. Bike and hiking trails, along with parks and playgrounds, encourage exercise and fitness. Equestrian trails and regional trail connections provide an amenity for the entire region.

 
A community design that focuses on pedestrian access not only reduces car trips; it encourages walking, biking and an active lifestyle. There are walkable streets through neighborhoods, as well as paths, ponds and seating areas within parks. The Village Center and major open spaces are easily accessible to pedestrians. By promoting walkable communities we can improve physical fitness, reduce carbon emissions, and create a more neighborly environment.
