Sanctuary Village
Franklin, North Carolina,
United States
Downtown Franklin
 Sanctuary Village is a new Traditional Neighborhood Development in the mountains of North Carolina.
First-phase construction has begun on what will be a walkable, mixed-use community five blocks from Franklin's historic Main Street. This will be a neighborhood of porches, parks, and walking paths -- all within easy strolls to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment in downtown Franklin. There's an architect-designed housing option for everyone, whether it's a moderately sized single-family home with a garage apartment or a cozy cottage or a mansion flat in a building served by an elevator. All this with low maintenance costs and high energy efficiency.
