Rockwood Village recasts affordable housing as a civic landscape: a privately funded public park at its heart, homes arrayed along the perimeter, and daily life unfolding in between. The central green, modeled on the flexibility of historic town squares, hosts year-round programs linking nearby schools, cultural venues, and community centers. Within commons, a whimsical play hub, meandering paths, picnic glades beneath a tall canopy, and a shared garden weave learning, health, and joy. Every gathering place is tuned to belonging and intergenerational connection.
