Westwood Amherst

Westwood Amherst An innovative mixed-use redevelopment in the Town of Amherst, planned as a Traditional Neighborhood Development. What is Traditional Neighborhood Development?

Mensch Capital Partners, LLC, owners of the Westwood Country Club property on Sheridan Drive at North Forest Road in Amherst, has developed an innovative conceptual master plan to create Westwood, a new traditional neighborhood in the heart of Amherst that will feature great public spaces, a variety of residences and a neighborhood center that are all complementary to the surrounding community and the entire Town of Amherst.

We may think of the neighborhoods we grew up in as traditional, but planning professionals, municipal leaders, and developers explain that Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) is a community concept that is modeled after traditional small towns and villages before sprawl set in. Using modern development techniques, the goal of a TND is to create a compact, mixed-use, and walkable neighborhood that promotes a strong sense of community. What will the Westwood neighborhood look like? The Westwood conceptual master plan calls for establishing a traditional neighborhood in the heart of Amherst designed with the help of nationally renowned TND specialists and prominent local planning and design firms. Surrounded by greenspace, lakes and ponds, and park areas, Westwood will feature a variety of residences, retail shops, professional offices, a neighborhood center and other pedestrian-friendly venues. The development will be complementary to the surrounding community and the entire Town of Amherst, and will be consistent with the town’s Bicentennial Comprehensive Plan.
