Homes of Harvard-Yale

These are the type of homes that the New Urbanists are trying to replicate in places like Celebration, the Kentlands, and Daybreak. 








Quite a variety: new, old, big, not as big, Colonial, Cape Cod, a touch of Victorian. These homes all share common characteristics of being made in classic styles of timeless materials. You'll find bigger homes elsewhere in the valley in Draper, South Jordan and Holladay, but bigger (homes or lots) doesn't necessarily mean better. 

The Harvard-Yale area shows that you don't need 1/2 acre lots and snobbish  minimum-square-footage requirements to create a prestigious, upscale neighborhood. Good location and design is much more important and lasting.
