Walkable Neighborhoods: Florida: Seaside: Design: Ampitheatre at center
Doubleclick to enlarge
One of the interesting aspects of Seaside, a residential and commerical area adjacent to the ocean, was the use of a natural theatre where plays and entertainment could occur, surrounded by base level commercial--one of the shops featured Wisconsin made cheese....
It was off season, and traffic was slow. It was impossible for me to determine the vacancy rates of the residential units since owners are prohibited from putting up signs for sale per their agreement. My observation was that traffic design was inadequate, and narrow roads of access could not bring the crowds necessary for retail success---but it is hard to know for sure since I could not stay for boom season. The natural theatre surrounded by artistic shops was interesting.
