The Community

Spacebuilders is developing the master planned community of Morris Village adding new streets and neighbourhoods to the City of Clarence-Rockland. This family oriented village-style community offers a diverse range of new homes being built by a select group of registered home builders. Morris Village got its name from the “Morris” family who owned the land from the turn of the last century, making their livelihood from cutting firewood and producing maple syrup. Please view the builders page for more information.

The Entrance


Permanent entrance features are planned for the main roadway entrances welcoming visitors and residents to the community and will include rock walls, permanent signage, berms, planting and village style street lighting.

Streetscaping


Collector Street
The collector street is the main transportation link within the community that connects local streets and access from the community to major roads such as St-Jean Street and Caron Street. It is to also accommodate pedestrian and transit service access where available.

Local Streets
Local streets are designed in curvilinear style with curves and turns to vary views and reduce tunnel-effect created by houses with uniform setbacks. Curvilinear design also promotes lot depth variety and diversity of private open spaces on residential lots.

The Pond


A designated area of the lower lands is to be developed as a pond water feature engineered for stormwater management. The pond design is being upgraded to include passive and semi-active community space with pathways, decorative post-rail fencing and planting.

Lot fabric will include homes backing onto parkland and pond features. Public roadways are also being planned to connect to these spaces and help promote the image of a "village style urban community".

Parkland and Open Space


Natural Wooded Parkland
Part of the site includes large natural wooded parkland located at the southern limit of St-Joseph Street and is to remain largely undisturbed. Mixed forest and wildlife may still be found here and in surrounding open spaces.
