A "Charted Neighborhood" is Nelson Design Group's approach for design "plus" marketing and many other value-added services to make your job easier when developing "Master Planned Communities". As the name implies, a Charted Neighborhood represents a distinctive new direction and concept in residential building and design, an approach that is unique to Nelson Design Group.

Today, a public awakening now highly values its heritage of great neighborhoods. Updated versions of the best features in homes many of us grew up in are now incorporated into Neo-Traditional, or Traditional Neighborhood Design. Hence, the pursuit of the American Dream has taken an indirect path, away from suburban sprawl and back to a renewed appreciation of development patterns of our predecessors. Some of these planning and design principals date back to the late 1800's.

In more recent years, New Urbanism has caused a revival among historic towns, cities and villages, where the home-buying public want more than just a place to sleep after work. A new appreciation for a richer social and civic life is integral to today's Master Planned Communities, in which families can get to know their neighbors by relaxing on spacious front porches and walking along tree covered streets and sidewalks.

To supply to the demand of Traditional Neighborhood Designs and Neighborhoods, today's building professional is looking for a design firm that can be much more than just a vendor of stock plans. Until now, builders and developers have indicated that a true "total resource" for planning, design, and value-added marketing services, is almost unheard of. Most builders need a home plan source that essentially functions as his very own "in-house, one-stop source" for new home design and associated services. Nelson Design Group is a firm that concentrates on true personal service, and one that will modify plans as necessary, always delivering much more. No longer will you need different firms to provide plans or modifications, and still be on your own to market the project afterwards.

Regardless of your Company's size and volume, whether builder or developer, and in all candor…we can be your "personal design and promotional partner." We are happy to consult with you on individual plans or small in-fill projects, and yet we are large enough to work with you on the design of new large-scale Charted Neighborhood communities. Quite simply, we do it all-always with a personal touch and at a reasonable fee.

Because thousands of builders and developers across the country already rely on us to provide their plans and marketing resources, we cater daily to a diverse marketplace with a broad mix of consumers, real estate professionals and home builders. We know what buyers want, how builders 'build,' and how to design and market homes that sell quickly. Each Nelson Design offers unique features such as a "kids nook," hearth rooms, and a grilling porch to attract homeowner interest and promote a carefree lifestyle. Our plans offer stunning elevations and fresh interior floor plans. Customized marketing materials promote your project during construction, and then facilitate a quick sale-often at premium appraisal values.

Here in our website, you will find individual designs and also several different groups of plans such as our Wellington and Renaissance Collections. Our designs have complementary themes that work together to build a single home, a neighborhood, or a full-scale development. There is almost certainly something you can immediately incorporate into your building program, each design supported with our wide array of economical professional quality, customized marketing products and services.

This site features a handy "search" option where you can select from hundreds of plans to simplify locating designs that accommodate your lot dimensions and preferred architectural style. Give us a call or send us an E-mail. Above all, please let us know if you have any questions or special requirements. We are always interested in hearing about your projects and how we might serve you now, and in the future.
