Seaside’s New Urbanism
Seaside is a pre-planed community on Florida’s northwest coast, about 20 miles west of Destin. The community was established in 1981 and designed with the New Urbanism (also called Smart Growth) philosophy. New Urbanism focuses on creating a pedestrian friendly community. The distance a cottage sits back from the road was determined by the conversation two people can have, one sitting on the house’s porch and the other leaning against the white picket fence.
Women on a girlfriend getaway can walk the brick roads of the Seaside neighborhoods and see the relaxed pace of life enjoyed in Seaside. Pastel painted cottages are individually named by their owners and surrounded by white picket fences. Lawns must contain native plants such as beauty-berry, loblolly pines and verbena. Life is enjoyed at a relaxed pace in Seaside.
