Sanctuary Village is a new Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) in the mountains of North Carolina. First-phase construction has begun on what will be a walkable, mixed-use community five blocks from Franklin's historic Main Street. This will be a neighborhood of porches, parks, and walking paths -- all within easy strolls to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment in downtown Franklin. There's an architect-designed arts and crafts housing option for everyone, whether it's a moderately sized single-family home with a garage apartment or a cozy cottage or a mansion flat in a building served by an elevator. All this with low maintenance costs and high energy efficiency.
