Seaside "The Premier New Urbanism Project"

Seaside is the primary influence I had for Cotton Crossing in its inception. While there are many other notable projects that we will discuss at another time, none is as important to me or the New Urbanist movement as a whole as Seaside. It was the first nationally recognized project that featured the design principles of New Urbanism from top to bottom. Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company, better known asDPZ are the visionairies that created Seaside, along with hundreds of other New Urbanist projects around the world. DPZ are also the founders of the Congress for New Urbanism, which coincidentally will be holding its annual national conference in Austin, Tx next week.

If you will notice the picture of the Cotton Crossing Model Home below, you will see that this house could be located anywhere in Seaside and it would fit right in. This obviously is by design. I wanted to capture that timeless feeling of the classic traditional architecture that you see throughout the South and especially on the coastal areas.

Of course, when it comes to where you are going to live, we are a little biased. You will find that Cotton Crossing is Waco's only "Traditonal Neighborhood Development" that truly gives you the feeling of another time and place. Most people who are moving to Waco are coming from a larger market where they are used to having numerous Master Planned Communities to choose from. Cotton Crossing fills that need and is centrally located in the heart of Waco & Woodway since it was built on top of the old Western Oaks Golf Course.
