Call it a vision — one that balances the demand for new housing
in a county-designated growth zone with the concern that Delaware's
open spaces are being lost to conventional development.
Call it a dream — one that imagines neighborhoods where varied
housing choices create true diversity and views quality of life
as more than a catch phrase.
Call it a sustainable community with neighborhood schools and neighborhood shopping, a community with generous open spaces and recreational parks. With sidewalks and tree-lined boulevard streets, walking trails and man-made lakes, neighborhood greens and front porches.
Call it The Village of Bayberry.
Inspired by a concept called Smart Growth, Bayberry is a reincarnation
of the American small town. It is Livable Delaware, the reality
— the result of a 10-year planning effort to develop the
farmland of Boyd's Corner in a fiscally, environmentally and socially
responsible way.
Think of the leafy greenway that is Wilmington's Bancroft Parkway; picture the natural beauty and neighborhood enclaves of Avondale's Somerset Lake; visualize the vibrancy and scale of Newark's Main Street.
Bayberry will be all these things and more. A place to grow up
and grow old. A traditional way of life that's new again.
