Community designed by New Urbanism

With its neo-traditional design, the Kentlands have served as a blueprint for other idyllic master-planned communities across the U.S. Designed by the same company that created Seaside, Florida – the home of “the Truman Show,” the Kentlands is a thoughtfully crafted community where everything is walkable and where neighbors get together for pool parties, races and live theatrical performances. “It was carefully and thoughtfully designed, by people who understand what brings community together,” says Meredith Fogle, founder of the List Realty and a resident of the Kentlands for more than 20 years. “It’s a mix of walkability, shared green spaces, relatively small lots and a very thoughtful design.”

Brick colonials and well-trimmed homes

In the Kentlands, houses inspired by the architecture of New England and the mid-Atlantic sit on relatively small, green lots behind sidewalks. Brick colonials with shuttered windows and perfectly trimmed single-family homes with farmers' porches are typical and representative of the Kentlands lifestyle. Townhouses lined up next to each other and built with brick wouldn’t look out of place in Boston’s Beacon Hill. The community is fully built out, with about 8,000 residents, and the market is competitive, says Fogle. The average home price is $703,283 and prices tend to range from about $400,000 to $1.4 million. “There’s no inventory and a ton of buyer demand, like most of the country,” says Fogle. “Things don’t stay on the market for more than a few days unless they’re priced incorrectly.”

Lively community

People move to the Kentlands for the lifestyle, Fogle says. The neighborhood hosts events like bridge club, wine club, concerts and theatrical performances through the Kentlands Community Players. In the summertime, Fogle says, the neighborhood has a resort-like feel. People are out at the pool all day, having picnics on the green and enjoying live music outside.

Walking and running around the lake

The Kentlands has two waterways – Lake Helene and Inspiration Lake. Paved pathways for running and dog walking surround both lakes, and Inspiration Lake has a hiking trail through a small, wooded area. Little Quarry Park, located next to the Kentlands clubhouse, has a pond and a picnic area. Locals play tennis, pickleball and basketball on community courts and workout in the Kentlands gym. Every year, the community and the nearby Lakelands host a 5K race and fun run for the Kentlands Community Foundation.

"Everything is here."

All the amenities of modern life are available to residents of the Kentlands. Retailers like Whole Foods Market, At Home, Giant Food and Mattress Warehouse exist in the community’s commercial area. Locals can get healthy Mediterranean bowls from Cava or fried chicken sandwiches from Chick-fil-A, or kick back at sit-down eateries like Dog Haus Biergarten, where hot dogs come topped with things like jalapenos and bacon. Brews & Barrels serves ribs, bourbon and beer in a wooden brewery environment and Sin & Grin serves Mexican fare like fajitas and margaritas. “I often say we’re ‘inside the bubble,’ as in we’re either going inside the bubble or outside the bubble for dinner tonight,” says Fogle. “There’s no reason to go outside the bubble. Everything is here.”
