The Crestwood sign designed by Eric Rattan welcomes you to Crestwood, also known as the Wisconsin Cooperative Housing Association (WHCA), the oldest cooperative neighborhood association in the United States. The community was designed based on the Sandinavian land use model by John Bordner, a land-use planner with much experience. Crestwood is where I first settled when moving to Madison in the early 90's. I immediately enjoyed it and came to love it even more as I settled in. Recently, I ran across a Blog by hangininsac.blogspot.com about my unique neighborhood in Madison WI. His post entitled, "Lessons in Urban Planning "– Madison, Wisconsin's Crestwood Neighborhood has been somewhat re-wordered here. (1 comments)
