Streetscapes and Preservation ...
A view down Habersham ’ s streets can be as picturesque as a sunset . Prominent trees are carefully preserved between homes and an allee of live oaks that once led to the original farmstead are preserved in the median of one of Habersham ’ s primary boulevards . Proper design and implementation have created architectural beauty on par with the land ’ s natural attractions . Breaking free of a
typical grid and allowing streets to meander around trees creates an organic appeal that makes turning each corner a surprise to the eye . The streets are narrow to calm traffic and create a safe and interesting environment for pedestrians and kids to play . Rear alleys and garages also help to keep vehicles out of sight and help enhance the views throughout the neighborhood .
