GreenTech Homes, a Hamilton County master planned community builder, recently launched a “neo-traditional community.”

The Farmstead, a Hixson neighborhood with a neo-traditional design (aka new urbanism), uses the planning principle that contrasts a typical suburban environment.

How? Neo-traditional designs are often more compact communities that are walkable, bikeable, and close to home and work. The Farmstead in particular will feature:

  • Centralized clubhouse with a full kitchen + exercise equipment
  • “Resort-style” pool
  • Dog park
  • Pickleball court
  • Community plaza
  • Fire pit zones
  • Food truck hook-ups
  • Green spaces
  • Lamp-lit sidewalks

Phase one of The Farmstead is currently under construction, and will include 80 homes (with 240 homes planned in total).
