New urbanism at Asbury Park.

Increasingly disillusioned with suburban sprawl on the one hand, and the decay of the inner city on the other, Americans are looking for a new way of life, a "New Urbanism" that combines old-fashioned small-town warmth with modern conveniences.

This New Urbanism is exactly what is being

created in Wesley Grove at Asbury Park, a new luxury community now being developed by Westminster Communities in this historic oceanfront city.

The community, now emerging on prime property in the Wesley Lake district, is designed to create a diverse, vibrant, walkable neighborhood reminiscent of the tight-knit communities of by-gone days.

It will include 750 residential units consisting of condominium and duplex units, as well as luxury townhomes. There will also be 34,000 square feet of retail space.

"New Urbanism refers to mixed-use communities in which residents do not have to rely on cars to get to shops and amenities, where they can sit on the front stoop, breathe in the fresh ocean air, or walk down a tree-lined street to a pocket park, the local cafe, the beach or the boardwalk," explained David Minno of the architectural firm of Minno and Wasko, designers of Wesley Grove.
