A suburb of Cincinnati provides evidence of renewed demand for master planned communities.

"After a quarter of a century of assembling land and weathering the nation’s roughest recession, Toebben Builders is finally getting started on the $1 billion Rivers Pointe Estates community in Hebron," reports Tom Demeropolis.
Demeropolis reports that the progress on the new master planned community in the Kentucky town, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, is evidence of a rebounding housing industry.
As for details about the community: "In total, the 380-acre Rivers Pointe Estates is a master-planned community with seven different types of housing, including apartments, townhomes, landominiums, attached condos, cabin-style homes, single family homes and patio homes."
