The Village at A New Leaf Phase 2

Residential Community

Phase 2 of the A New Leaf campus builds on the success of Phase 1 with a thoughtful expansion that enhances residential options, community amenities, and recreational opportunities—all while maintaining a cohesive architectural identity.

Residential Buildings
Located at the northwest corner of the site, Phase 2 introduces two new residential buildings designed as tax credit projects. The first is a two-story, 53-unit multifamily apartment building arranged around a central courtyard. Each unit includes a private patio or balcony, and the building features a shared Fitness Room that doubles as a tornado-rated storm shelter. The landscaped courtyard serves as the heart of the building, with shade trees, a circular lawn, and a community fire pit encouraging social connection and outdoor gathering.

The second residential building is a 6-bedroom Community Home, modeled closely after similar homes developed in Phase 1. This home features a large, open-concept living and dining area with an adjacent kitchen centered around a generous island, promoting shared living and interaction among residents. Both buildings reflect the design aesthetic established in Phase 1, featuring gabled roofs, white fiber cement siding, earth-toned stone accents, and welcoming front porches framed by gracious columns.

Expanding Community and Recreation for Adults with Developmental Disabilities

Community Center Expansion
In addition to the new housing, Phase 2 includes an approximately 4,500 square foot expansion of the existing cafeteria building to create a new Community Center. This addition will include a half-court basketball gym, a fitness room, a gaming room, and a flexible conference/meeting space. The design continues the red metal building language of the original structure and adds an inviting full-length front porch to encourage gathering and community interaction.

Outdoor Recreation & Connectivity
The expanded facilities are designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing campus amenities. New walking trails and a shared dog park connect the residential buildings with outdoor spaces, while landscape enhancements in front of the Community Center form a vibrant recreational node. This area will include pickleball courts, bocce ball, and cornhole, all thoughtfully integrated with the community gardens and existing pavilion to create a campus that supports wellness, inclusion, and daily joy.

Together, these additions reinforce A New Leaf’s mission by providing safe, beautiful, and engaging environments for residents to live, connect, and thrive.
