The design and development of Haymount came in reaction to many of the ills of our current sprawl development pattern. The solution for this new community was a stylized “traditional neighborhood development” (TND) that would support 12,000 individuals in a 4,000- unit community, as well as support commercial and retail space to be built out over a eight to ten year period. Unlike many contemporary TND communities, Haymount is addressing opportunities for sustainability and extensive habitat preservation and restoration programs.
Haymount lies along the Rappahannock River between Washington, DC and Richmond, VA about 15 minutes from Fredericksburg. Haymount is a completely new town to be built in the countryside, surrounded by a natural green-belt.
