Warwick Grove finds its home on the edge of Warwick, New York — a village in the Hudson Valley whose Main Street has carried the rhythm of small-town life for two centuries. The new neighborhood was asked to extend that rhythm rather than interrupt it. Two hundred forty homes for active adults, gathered into 130 acres of streets, sidewalks, and greens that read continuous with the village they join.
Union joined the planning team led by Duany Plater-Zyberk to design all the single-family housing prototypes and the community building at the neighborhood’s heart. The houses borrow from the Hudson Valley vernacular — painted clapboard, deep porches, gabled roofs, shutters at the windows. Garages tuck behind, accessed by rear lanes, leaving the street face to the front door where it belongs. The houses recall an older way of building. They live in a contemporary one.
The 8,000-square-foot Neighborhood Center holds the community together — an event room, a library, card rooms, a health center, a pool, all under a single welcoming roof and wrapped in a wide front porch. A short walk takes residents to Warwick’s public library, to Veterans Memorial Park, to a Main Street with shops, restaurants, and galleries — to the life the neighborhood was designed to belong to.
