The Pinehills, Massachusetts
The Pinehills is a large, mostly residential development located in the Pine Hills region of Plymouth, Massachusetts. As of 2007, the project is the largest new residential and commercial development in New England.[1] The community consists of over 1,000 luxury houses, apartments and condominiums, two golf courses, a country club, and a small shopping center named The Village Green. It is still under construction. When completed in 2014, it is expected to contain 2,877 homes and stretch over an area of 3,060 acres, an area larger than many Massachusetts towns.[1]
The houses in the Pinehills are broken into several small communities. Homes are designed by one of ten different builders, the largest being Thorndike Development and Whitman Homes.[2]
