Serenbe
Serenbe is a neighborhood within the city limits of Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, in Fulton County, in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Serenbe is an example of New Urbanism.
Steve Nygren, who had previously opened a Bed & Breakfast in the area, developed Serenbe. The name "Serenbe" was his wife Marie's idea, and refers to the location’s serenity. The name is manifested from the phrases "serenity" and "to be".
Serenbe's residences consist of single-family houses and row houses. All have front porches but no backyards; they face a common greenspace and trails. Proximity to shops and services encourages walking. Architectural styles include Arts and Crafts-style cottages, loft-style townhouses and sleek modern "boxes".
The village comprises three hamlets. The Selborne hamlet is devoted to the visual and culinary arts and currently contains Serenbe’s retail shops. The Grange hamlet has an agricultural theme, and the Mado hamlet focuses on health and healing.
