Description

Established in 1909, this enclave was designed as the nation's first planned garden community. The neighborhood's aesthetic comes from a century-old partnership between architect Grosvenor Atterbury and landscape designer Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. Today, the local corporation preserves this layout, maintaining the private streets, sidewalks, and the network of shared parks and green spaces that define the community.
