Location & Logistics

Here is our latest concept for our site in Kimberton, PA. We have met as a community, discussed how we would like the buildings, the Common House, and the parking to be arranged, and made a model together to show what it might look like.

We are showing (29) 2-story town houses and duplexes. The duplexes allow for one-bedroom units on the upper floor. Both interior and end town house units have 2 or 3 bedrooms and could include a ground floor bedroom, cathedral ceiling, home office options. All homes face pedestrian paths, with an eastern neighborhood and a western one to either side of a Community Green. We show a Community Garden across from the Common House..

Access off Kimberton Road from the south leads to the Common House, with most of the parking covered by solar carports to the west, with a smaller parking lot to the east. We are preserving the natural woods and wetlands (four acres of land to the north of the homes), and are planning an orchard and additional open space and gardens there. A permeable paved fire lane goes around the site on the north and will double as a public trail connecting Kimberton Village with French Creek. Our design will change as we talk with the members, neighbors, and the Planning Commission.
