Traditional Neighborhood Design

Doing Things the "New" Old Way

When you visit Kitts Creek for the first time, you'll probably find it unlike any community you've ever seen before. The houses all look very distinct from one another, and they're built a little closer to the street than in the typical subdivision. All the garages are set to the rear of the homes, connected by alleys. The front yards are smaller than you're probably used to seeing, bringing the variously-styled front porches nearer to people walking by. The streets are narrower, and the sidewalks are wider. Things feel different here.

We hope most folks respond favorably to the unique character of Kitts Creek, but we're aware some people are just going to find it unusual. When you encounter something so new and off the beaten path, it's only natural to puzzle over why it's that way and jump to false conclusions. Some people might guess Kitts Creek is part of some weird postmodern fad in housing design, a novelty that would only appeal to a particular niche of homebuyers. Some might think Kitts Creek's intimate layout is the result of jamming together as many home sites as possible for maximum profit. Such speculations could not be further from the truth.

To help you understand what Kitts Creek is all about, we need to explain some of the philosophy behind it. At ExperienceOne Homes, we are driven by our dedication to build the best quality homes anywhere and ensure complete satisfaction for our customers. Beyond that, we are also deeply motivated by the principles of traditional neighborhood design.
