“Our vision for Hayes Park has always been to create real connectivity,” said Adam Baslow, owner of New Leaf, in the release. “From our neighborhoods with their common courtyards and parks, to paths and boardwalks that connect to our diverse marketplace, we’ve focused on what is the true heart of a community.”

Hayes Park will also support numerous home styles in enclave neighborhoods situated among century-old live oaks, the release stated. To date, 12 homes have been sold. At its full occupancy, the community will feature 56 residences in numerous styles: attached single-family villas, “paired” villas with tandem garages, and “quad” villas with two-car garages and open floor plans.
