The term refers to a specific geographic location characterized by residential development within a planned community. This area combines waterfront access, often a defining feature of “inlet” locations, with the landscaping and amenities associated with a “garden city” design. These locations typically feature carefully planned green spaces, recreational facilities, and housing options.
Such a development provides residents with access to both natural beauty and urban conveniences. Its planned nature often ensures consistent aesthetic appeal and controlled community growth. Historically, the garden city movement aimed to combine the best aspects of urban and rural living, offering an alternative to congested city centers.
