When it comes time to design a neighborhood, Charter listens to the story of the land and what came before, honoring preserved spaces and protecting important historical and natural features. The next step is the thoughtful design of “the space between”—gathering places like the world’s first all-natural playground, TerraPark®. Hundreds of trees and unique details, such as hand-laid Belgian block curbing, bring everything together and create a timeless character in each neighborhood. At the heart of every Charter neighborhood is Crossroads, a vibrant hub of locally owned businesses nestled along charming, tree-lined streets. Here, neighbors can take a break and connect with friends to shop, dine, work out, and unwind just steps from their front doors.
