Kimberton Greene is located in East Pikeland Township just south of Seven Stars Road about one-half mile west of the borough of Phoenixville. The view from Seven Stars Road is screened very effectively through the preservation of existing woodland and extensive areas of turf and meadow. Although landscaping (street trees and yard vegetation) within the development is comprised primarily of recent plantings, in a few years the new plantings will enhance the preserved woodland. The development was designed at a human scale through the use of short setbacks and varied facades.
Open space areas are located throughout the development creating islands of green which are enhanced by the landscaped boulevard and stone block curbing. Sidewalks are located along one side of the street throughout the development providing for pedestrian circulation.
An outstanding feature of this development is the extensive trail system. The trail system links the entire development to the open space areas along the adjacent roadway, the preserved wetlands, and through the areas of woodland.
Kimberton Greene is an attractive, wellmaintained development that provides extensive pedestrian facilities and creates a neighborhood atmosphere.
A scenic trail through the preserved open space creates a community amenity in Kimberton Greene.
A bridge preserves a stream's integrity while creating a link between housing and open space.
Short setbacks and sidewalks create a pedestrian scale development.
