Fast facts about Old Town

Old Town, a master-planned mixed-use development -- zoned "planned urban development" by the city -- is located near the intersection of Veterans Parkway and Williams Road in north Columbus. It is accessed by either roadway.

It will not be a gated community, and the streets inside of the development will be narrower than most city streets in order to keep traffic at a slower pace. As Bruce Jones, president of Woodruff Development Co. says, wider streets typically encourage motorists to drive faster, something Old Town's developers do not want.

The Southern Living-inspired homes being constructed in Old Town will have names such as Buttercup, Chantilly, Fairfax, Lily, Repousse and Strasbourg.
