South River Colony: Planned Convenience

Posted: 29 Dec 2010 02:00 AM PST

When the Spanish came to the Americas, they were known for the way they planned cities and towns. They set up towns in such a way so that each one had a town plaza that usually included a park area, a church and retail establishments like pharmacies. The stores and church often surrounded the park area so that people had a central meeting place. Even now when you travel to places in the Americas where the Spanish have left their mark, you will find this set up as you move from town to town.

Things in Maryland, which was formally an English colony, were not set up in quite so predictable pattern. Although in times before cars, people did tend to set up towns and cities in ways that minimized the need for traveling long distances. Even when you have a car, you may not want to travel much besides commuting for work.

Buying a home in a planned community like South River Colony can help you reduce the time you spend on the road and the money you spend on gas. Stores and other retail establishments are nearby so you can take care of errands close to home. Residents of this award-winning planned community also have quick access to walking paths and recreational facilities.
