Village B contains two distinct neighborhoods as shown in the Pattern Plan. These neighborhoods, separately known as The Renaissance and The Oasis, are designed to be low density residential communities consisting of single-family attached, detached homes, and multi-family. A predominate neighborhood feature is the sidewalk and multi-modal trail network which will link each neighborhood to neighborhood centers, open space tracts, and the future Village Center. These features facilitate citizen interaction by linking village neighborhoods with on-site and adjacent amenities and facilities. These trails will also provide residents with connectivity to the natural environment.

Village C has four neighborhoods in its development area. This village is known as Islandwalk at the West Villages. There are five neighborhood centers spread throughout the four neighborhoods. The Village designers envisioned an interconnected system of neighborhoods linked with generously-wide pedestrian pathways. These pathways are adjacent to the Village’s conservation tracts and lake areas. The pathways and lakes create an abundance of outdoor areas available for Village residents’ use. The design of the residential units does not restrict water views to just those adjacent to these features but essentially creates properties with dual front lawns; one facing streets and the other facing water features.

Village D is envisioned as a vibrant mixed use Town Center that includes a broad mix of retail, commercial, hotel, recreational, office and residential uses. The Proposed Village District Plan for Village D includes four mixed use areas located along the US 41 corridor and West Villages Parkway, which will contain a broad mix of uses, and is envisioned as the primary focus of the more intensive commercial uses. The plan includes one mixed use residential neighborhood, which may include a mix of office, retail, and residential uses. The plan also includes one residential neighborhood, which allows for a range of residential unit types. There is a purposeful transition in intensity from north to south and east to west. The transition is intended to ensure compatibility with the existing village of Islandwalk, to the west, as well as future development to the south and southeast.
