Woodlands Perryville is the most ambitious project to date from Town Point Development, the region's eco-friendly real estate development company. Designed with the input of the local Perryville, Maryland community through a public design process known as a "charrette", the vision of Woodlands Perryville is to be a modern, sustainable extension of the existing historical town, instead of a separate, additional subdivision on the outskirts of town. Pedestrian access to conveniently located living quarters, office space, retail shops, schools, restaurants, a town commons and many other amenities means less time commuting and more time to live, work and play in the way that best suits your individual lifestyle.

Remember the days, before urban sprawl, when the "suburbs" meant more than cul-de- sacs and strip malls? More like small villages, these towns had a well-defined center where commerce and living space coexisted naturally and comfortably. People could walk to work.

A large, open green square will be surrounded by dining, shopping, offices and affordable residential townhouses and apartments. Proximity to schools, public transportation, nature trails and other wonderful amenities round out the modern "Main Street" vibe that makes Woodlands Perryville a uniquely desirable community in which to live, work and play.
In the Spring of 2008, the project team at Town Point Development held a public design "Charrette", or community planning meeting, with local Perryville and Cecil County, MD residents and Government agencies. The goal was to create a master plan for an 80-acre site on the fringe of the existing town. The project team's mission was to create a sustainable community that provides a clear sense of place and identity while respecting the environment and the quality of life in Perryville, MD. The master plan and buildings that were created in collaboration with the community reflect their desire for an updated sensibility to the existing historical community...
We believe that the planning process for any new development effort should include the people that will be affected by the development. This includes area residents, government agencies, emergency and medical service providers and local businesses. As a way to reach the community and understand the needs and wants...
Located at the mouth of the Susquehanna River at the northern tip of the Chesapeake Bay, the Town of Perryville has a rich historical and regional flavor.

As you can see, Town Point Development has gone to great lengths to create an eco-friendly site plan and land-use strategy that makes this community a LEED ND award candidate (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Design). Town Point Founder/Principal Doug Hill, said, "We're committed to preserving and protecting this region's abundant natural resources, including the water, wildlife, trees and local plants as we build a more socially and environmentally responsible place for people to live, work and play. This is accomplished through intelligent land use, respect for natural buffer zones, energy efficient building methods and innovative storm water management techniques."
