Seacoast Cottage Company
provides the cottage floor plans ideal for New Urbanism projects.
New urbanism is the future of multi-family residential development. New Urbanism is the thoughtful design of pedestrian friendly neighborhoods, including central courtyards and smaller square footage floorplans.
While cottage communities with the “old fashion neighborhood feel” are becoming a national phenomenon, Seacoast Cottage Company is proud to offer their high performance cottage homes as an essential element of the cottage community.
