Prospect New Town

Prospect New Town is a wonderful development in Longmont, Colorado. Built on a former tree farm, there are single family homes, condos, studios, multiple living spaces, park areas, playgrounds, and retail buildings. All done with a commitment to minimize negative impact on the land.
Every building is different, loads of glorious colours, street names like - Ionosphere Street, Tenacity Drive, Confidence Drive and Neon Forest Circle. There's a small "downtown" area of retail buildings, a coffee shop, restaurants, etc. It all looks like it's been there for years because of the mature trees. There's an in-depth article here and just google "Prospect New Town" for loads of info.

Narrow tree lined streets, big front porches, garages in back with second floor apartments, a neighbourhood feel and working with the environment - you gotta love it.
