Twenty-five years ago the place where Southern Village is now was a 300-acre tract of pine, oak and elm, the way most of everywhere used to be, at least around here. The magic of this place—and it’s something we can appreciate now, 25 years down the road—is that it feels like it’s been here forever. It’s a new place in our world that feels old, in all the best ways: the intimacy— both profoundly nostalgic and real—that comes with the familiarity of a small town and its walkability, a town at once diverse and integrated, compact and planned but open to change.

Take a walk down Market Street. Here is the coffee shop, the ice cream parlor, the movie house, the grocery, the bar and grill, the pharmacy, the dry cleaners—all the iconic shops and services a small town offers— the essentials. There’s even a Village Green, a kind of park right in the middle of town, where you can picnic and see concerts and late-night films. New Urbanism, the kind of mixeduse community Southern Village is an ideal example of, is not really new and not all that urban. Pope Pius II built the first village of its kind five centuries ago in Italy. He called the town Pienza. His vision, which promoted the creation of diverse, walkable, communities— comprised of the same components as conventional development, but assembled in a more integrated fashion—is alive and well.
