5 Comments on Kingsbrooke: A Sought After Bristow, VA Community
Chris Ann:
It is interesting to read about communities that include both single family as well as townhomes. We really do not have anything like that in this area.
This post is a lesson on how to create a beautiful and informative neighborhood write-up. Lovely photos and I love the way you have pulled this all together with links to previous posts.
Claudette: I believe these mixes of single family and townhouses are referred to as PUDs. Planned Unit Developments. We rarely see just single family home neighborhoods out here.
Chris Ann: I came here through the Kingsbrooke link on your January 2013 Kingsbrooke report. The way you've got this organized is just wonderful. Way. To. Go!
I have of course seen your posts like this before, but have never taken the time to follow all the links to see where they went. I'm gettin' all gushy with my praise here, I know... but again... Great Job tying it all together.

Claudette and Chris Ann: Speaking of building single family homes and townhomes in the same "community" like Kingsbrooke, I have seen some fairly large PUDs that include single family homes... (detached and stand alone), zero lot-line or "patio" homes... (still detached and stand alone, but smaller, often with one side of the home built ON the lot line..., townhomes... (row houses all connected), and condominiums (like an apartment building). (Sometimes, terms and/or definitions of styles of homes may change... state-to-state.)
Building something like this as a PUD from the beginning allows the developer to give the best settings to the full single-family detached homes, and then as the "development" spreads out perhaps toward existing properties, the types of homes change (as described above) so that they gradually meet the types of homes surrounding them.
When professionally done... it provides some excellent housing.
Karen Anne: It all comes together nicely in Kingsbrooke and the other PUD's in Bristow, Gainesville and Haymarket.
