A Bit About Our Neighborhoods
Nearly 2,000 residents call Fearrington home, living in a variety of neighborhoods, from townhomes to single family homes on wooded lots. Many come with maintenance packages, offering virtually maintenance free living.
Dating from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, we built our earliest earliest omes, nestled on wooded lots along streets named Creekwood, Windstone and Beechmast. In the 1980s, we constructed two townhouse communities, Villageway and Weathersfield, featuring one and two level townhomes clustered in intimate closes. In the 1990s, we added The Woods, an expansive neighborhood of single family homes on generously sized homesites flanking a ring road named Spindlewood.
Also in the 1990s came Langdon Place Townhomes, a charming community of larger, duplex with attached garages, and our most successful neighborhood ever, Camden Park. Immediately next to the Village Center, this neighborhood of nearly 300 homes features straight roads flanked by sidewalks and shade trees, alleys with back entrance garages, narrow homesites.
