Whitehouse Square is like no other community in Northwest
Ohio. It is a neighborhood that's designed to take you back in
time... re-introduce you to a slower pace of life.
Years ago
developers thought taking off the front porches, making lots
bigger with larger homes was the way we should live. Gas was
cheap and we all drove 5 to 10 miles to our shopping malls. In
this lifestyle, we live a sterile life, not knowing our
neighbors or the shop owners. In recent years, there has been
a strong resurgence of the urban lifestyle driven by the desire
to return to neighborhoods that allow us to feel the enjoyment
of belonging to a community. Economics are also important in
our runaway cost of living, i.e. transportation, utilities,
taxes, health care, and housing costs. Living in smaller,
well-designed, and energy-efficient homes within walking
distance of recreational, medical, retail, church, dining, and
entertainment makes for a more affordable and healthier
lifestyle.
Our community will have traffic lanes for golf
carts, pedestrians, and bikes. $1.00 per square foot will be
designated to the development of parks. Lush landscaping, parks,
nature trails, and recreation such as swimming, volleyball,
basketball, driving range, ice skating, sledding, playgrounds,
horseshoes, and much more. Our residences will be for all ages
and incomes, housing from single family
homes, villas, unique
townhouses, retail/lofts, unassisted adult
apartments, assisted
adult living flats, apartments, and
cottages. Retail will
include flower shops, drugstores, furniture and interior
decorating stores, carpet and paint stores, banks, coffee/book
shops, grocer, deli, bakery, wine and cheese shops, a dollar
store, dry cleaners, and more. Entertainment will include
several different types of restaurants, sports bar, a community
theatre, rental hall, health club, and more. We will also have
an activity director to plan activities and advertising for
retailers such as sports tournaments, art and music festivals,
quality flea markets, farmers market, and more.
We have
designed this community to fit Whitehouse with the intent of
growing our village while keeping a small town feel proving
independent businesses can thrive in this type of environment. We
project that people and retailers will line up to be a part of
this truly different and affordable community by strong
marketing. All common areas will be professionally maintained.
By averaging our costs over all retail and residential units, we
will reduce the cost per unit for community maintenance. Part
of Whitehouse's economic development will be to attract business
to the area and provide jobs in a close proximity to the town
center. A twenty to thirty room hotel will provide
accommodations to local companies' needs as well as families
visiting residents in the adult living and sport events. Architectural
design shall be of the 19th century with a clean new look.
Signage, street lighting, water features, and landscape will be
by architectural controls. We welcome you to join our friendly
community! |
