How do you create the right set of conditions that encourage people to come together as a community? At the top of the list is walkability; a place that’s easy to get around in without having to get in a car. To get people out and about, we've designed Kettlesong to be compact and efficient with lots of tree-lined streets that create shady sidewalks, and other event-rich environments that get people out into the public square. The architecture is also designed in a way that respects and compliments the people it serves. These things help to create a ‘home place’.

Rediscovering What Neighbors and Neighborhoods Can Be

When homes sit comfortably on a street, next to a park, next to a market, next to untamed woods with people of all shapes and sizes—a picture of a neighborhood begins to emerge. We think the home town should move closer to home. Kettlesong's home town will have shops, a public library, a YMCA and a public school all easily accessible by Kettlesong's homes.

Places to Gather or Meander—On Occasion and on the Daily.

We're bringing back the art of the old fashioned village square with an eye towards the future by making a gathering place, not a crowded strip mall. Think of it like an outdoor living room for friends, families and neighbors. It's Kettlesong's front porch to hang out, people-watch and support the craft and commerce of our community.

Bikes whizzing by, kids throwing the ball around, people walking back from the community garden with veggies to share. From hobby clubs and youth activities to parks, pavilions and gardens, Kettlesong provides a lively backdrop for whatever interests you.

We’re expanding the Kettlesong family spirit into the region as a whole by creating a people link between Kettlesong and other communities in the region. Expect to walk, run or bike from Kettlesong to Rock Hill in a pedestrian friendly environment.
