I know this drives a much higher cost, but some of the worst sleeps of my life were in a wood frame condo. I'll applaud this development on this alone, haha.

Our first school in a multi-family building? Granted it is Private so maybe there's some small charter or private school that is already located in a multi-family building.
Also, this is easily the least exciting part of this development. Granted between the private club and other aspects of Nostalgia, it seems to be a bit elitist, so I don't really care much for it.

While I do like some variety, it is interesting there's so many developers trying to advertise walkable, urban living, in these far suburbs, where you will most likely still be driving your car daily. While we already have urban/walkable communities located in our cities today. A townhouse in Kensington or Capitol Hill is probably similar to what these will cost. I'm curious what people see as the appeal.

Lots of people especially boomers think Downtown is dangerous just read Facebook comments. Yes they think Kensington, Capitol Hill, Mission is all downtown and its just filled with dangerous homeless, drug addicts and loud. Maybe its the time they grew up in, but I know plenty that rarely ever go to downtown because that is what they think. Maybe they wont mind this since its far away in a "safe" area and it is walkable and somewhat urban

It's probably a lot of misinformation and reading comments online you'd think Central Memorial Park is like Kowloon city 2.0. If the buildout matches these renders then it might be "somewhat" urban, but in reality, it's going to get value engineered down, they'll add more parking to every street, and the schools/public amenities will show up in 20 years.

People like the walkable, urban feel....*after stepping out of their car

The whole thing is a Disneyland nightmare. Thank God it's in the middle of nowhere so I can pretend it doesn't exist.

The best part of the article is...
Nostalgia Townlet — a unique European-style community.
And then later on in the article...
a team of architects, designers and planners, visited leading-edge communities across North America
I guess these well heeled members will have the best of North American faux Europe. They must be so excited lol.

This type of community seems popular in AZ, TX and FL, and I hope we don't get too many of these.

How easy would a Green Line extension from the planned Seton terminus be?

Honestly, that's me. I love places I can easily drive to, walk around and have some fun, and then drive back to my quiet castle away from the filthy masses.
Convenience/Ease-of-use is highly under-appreciated! It's why I pretty much never go to Marda Loop....
