Green Village Pocket Neighborhood
Green Village brings the classic pocket neighborhood design philosophy to the heart of Lancaster County. By placing parking on the exterior perimeter, this community allows its heavily insulated, permanent-foundation tiny cottages to face inward toward shared, landscaped pedestrian greenways. The result is a highly connected, low-footprint residential model perfect for downsizers and young professionals who value deep community ties and high-end architectural finishes over sprawling, isolated lawns.
