A visit to the town center was a social outing as well as a shopping trip. Major celebrations took place at the town center, picnics, parades, and special events. The town center helped create a sense of belonging and helped life move at a friendlier pace.
The Brooks offers a broad range of residential options including custom estate homes, single family homes, villas, condominium carriage homes, condominium coach homes, and garden style condominiums.
