Welcome to The Heritage – a neo-traditional neighborhood at Two Rivers<\/h3>\n

Two Rivers\u2019 newest neighborhood is reminiscent of communities of yesteryear, when life was simpler. Inspired by Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND), homes are built with a high level of architectural detail to form a unique, blended streetscape that fosters front-porch-friendly living. Woven around walkable streets, bike paths, and central parks, this design creates a strong social fabric and allows residents to stay connected by stepping outside to see their neighbors. The historic downtown sections of Annapolis are a close example of this architectural style. Other historic examples include Georgetown, Alexandria and downtown Frederick.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to have leisure time,\u201d says Sharon, a Heritage resident. When you get home and don\u2019t have to cut the grass, rake leaves, or spend hours taking care of your lawn, it frees you up. It\u2019s great to park your car at the end of a work day, and get out on foot with your kids to enjoy the neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

With garages located in the back of the homes, it downplays the automobile as an element in the landscape. Tucking trash receptacles, cars, and other signs of daily life in the back means the streetscape becomes a picturesque place to socialize and gather.<\/p>\n
