Exciting New Development Planned Near Conestee Nature Preserve in Greenville!
Hey there, Greenville! Big news is making waves in our lovely city. A new subdivision is on the horizon, and it sounds like it will make quite the splash! Imagine living just a stone’s throw away from the enchanting Conestee Nature Preserve, surrounded by the beauty of nature and cozy homes. This proposed development promises to bring a delightful mix of living options that includes 65 charming cottages, 228 stylish townhomes, and approximately 200 modern apartments. Yes, you read that right!
Where’s It Happening?
Located conveniently along Ridge Road, the development site is just a half-mile away from Conestee Park. This prime spot offers a unique opportunity for residents to enjoy direct access to the gorgeous 600-acre wildlife sanctuary. Picture this: you grab your morning coffee, stroll down a scenic trail right from your front door, and unwind amidst the stunning landscapes that the nature preserve has to offer! Doesn’t that sound just dreamy?
Walking Trails and Nature Buffers
To make this connection even more special, plans include a planned trail that will link the new subdivision to the park. It’s all about maintaining that close relationship with nature! Some of the townhomes will be built along a ridge peak, potentially providing homeowners with beautiful views of the preserve. Just think about the sunsets!
Thanks to Civil Engineer Alex Davis, we learned that the objective is to keep as much green space as possible on this 66-acre land parcel. There will be buffer zones around the edges of the property and opportunities for additional trails within the new community to ensure that nature remains a top priority. It’s refreshing to see such consideration for the environment amidst urban development!
A Peek Inside the Development
As for how it’s all laid out, roads will wind beautifully past the 65 cottages, leading to the townhome complex. And on the southern side, residents can look forward to a three-story apartment complex featuring around 200 rental units. Talk about options! This community is designed to cater to various needs, whether you’re looking for a quaint cottage or a modern apartment.
Still in the Works
Now, before you start daydreaming about moving into your new home, keep in mind that these plans are still in the early stages. The size and design of the homes are not yet finalized, which means there’s still some room for ideas and improvements. The proposal is set to head to the Greenville City Planning Commission this May for street plan approval, so it’s a pivotal time for this development.
What’s Next?
It’s clear that this subdivision aims to bring a vibrant sense of community to the area while maintaining a strong bond with nature. With close proximity to the Conestee Nature Preserve, residents can enjoy a tranquil environment teeming with wildlife while also having modern amenities at their fingertips.
So, keep your eyes peeled, Greenville! This exciting new project is shaping up to be a remarkable addition to our beloved city. We can’t wait to see how it all unfolds. Until then, imagine living your best life, surrounded by the wonders of nature right outside your door!
