The neighborhood's sense of community is not a marketing claim -- it is built into the physical design of the streets, which follow the natural curves of the land as John Nolen intended, creating the kind of slower-paced, neighbor-to-neighbor street life that straight-grid developments can never manufacture. See the Charlotte lifestyle guide for the broader city context.
