Good Edges, places to walk, places to sit, and places to meet your neighbor. The first phase of the 500+ Acre master planned Scarborough Downs community, Carriage Walk and Grist Mill employ the basic ingredients of healthy neighborhood design. Spend 5 minutes walking Grist Mill Lane on a Summer evening and you’ll get it. No frills, classic neighborhood coziness interwoven with a central pocket park that whimsically integrates the forested landscape with a series of boardwalks, boulder outcroppings, log balance beams, and embankment slides.
