Location. At New Urban, we look at things a lot differently than most builders and developers. We believe smaller, more intimate, neighborhoods within walking distance of entertainment, recreation, shopping and public transportation are better than large neighborhoods filled with tract homes that require you to drive to everything. Back when gas was under $2 a gallon, location didn’t seem quite so important. But now it’s over $4 a gallon, and it’s clear that where you live matters more than ever. Shorter commutes save you money on gas and wear and tear on your car. More significantly, you get to spend more time with family and friends.

Our goal has always been to design communities that reduce or even eliminate our residents’ dependence on cars. We do this by carefully locating our neighborhoods within or close to major employment centers. We also make sure that parks, places of worship, grocery stores, schools, pharmacies, restaurants and public transportation routes are within walking distance. You won’t find a New Urban community surrounded by farmland or out on edge of the metropolitan area. Remember, the one thing you can’t change about your home is its location.

Product. Our homes have superior curb appeal and our communities just look nicer. That’s because we use a variety of architectural styles, colors and elevations to avoid the cookie cutter, tract home look so common everywhere else. Our streetscapes are more attractive, because they feature front porches, balconies and landscaping instead of garage doors and driveways. All this pays off not only while you are living in your New Urban home, but when it comes time to sell and there aren’t 40 other homes exactly like yours in the neighborhood. We create our communities using centuries old design principles and timeless elevations. We think communities should look better, not worse, as they mature. Visit our past communities – and theirs – before you buy, and see the difference.

New Urban homes are simply built better. Upgraded insulation, poured concrete upper floors, thermacrete party walls, energy efficient appliances, upgraded exterior paint, and fire sprinklers cost us more upfront, but reduce your future maintenance costs.

Price. Our Best Price Best Value Guarantee allows you to buy from us with confidence. From the time you sign our contract until the time you close on your new home, New Urban guarantees the base price of the model home you purchase won’t be lowered. If it is, we will credit you the difference. Even better, we won’t be undersold. Bring us a deal on any direct competitor’s comparably located, sized and amenitized home and we will match it or beat it. No other builder offers this Best Price Best Value Guarantee, because they can’t.

We have commercial properties for sale, too. From Retail shops to restaurant spaces, from live/work lofts to flexible office condos - a New Urban community is great for business. Click here to see commercial properties available for sale or lease.
