BELLA TERRA Notable Neighborhoods VILLAGE
A NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE IT WAS MEANT TO BE
Traditional Neighborhood Development We look back at the great cities of our past and revive what made them work. It’s the philosophy of the New Urbanism movement.
New Urbanism is the return to the traditional neighborhood and the inspiration for the TerraBella Village masterplan located off of Bootlegger Road in Covington.

SOCIAL NORTHSHORE
other to encourage walking, social interaction, and a strong sense of community. TerraBella is a community that you can live, work, shop, dine and play just steps from your front porch. Whether you prefer to live close to the town square, overlooking a park, or with a view to the water and nature preserve, you won’t just find a better way to live at TerraBella, you’ll be able to build the home you’ve always dreamed of. The town square is where the character of the neighborhood shines brightest and is the “hub” of the community. A sense of place and quality lifestyle is unique to TerraBella and sets the community apart from other conventional subdivisions. It’s the Friday night concerts, hiking the trails, quick trips to the shops, cooling off at the pool & cabana, and the restaurant that knows your order when you walk in that makes TerraBella feel like home.
