A recent article in the New York Times suggests that walkable neighborhoods aren’t just trendy, they’re healthier! A study published in JAMA found that the prevalence of overweight, obesity and diabetes is more than 10% lower in walkable neighborhoods!

At Evans Coghill, we love including walkability in our neighborhoods. In particular, Riverwalk in Rock Hill & Springfield in Ft. Mill are just made for strolling, jogging or gamboling.

The amenities of Riverwalk include the 3-mile Riverwalk trail that is part of the greater Carolina Thread Trail system and the Rock Hill Outdoor Center. Located on the banks of the Catawba River, the master plan for this 1,008-acre also includes a YMCA and athletic fields, a Town Center, River District, professional office space and residential, all thoughtfully connected and complemented by pedestrian and cycle friendly streetscapes and trails.

At Springfield, you can enjoy the health benefits of so many activities – from the 18-hole Springfield Golf Course that runs throughout the neighborhoods, to the swimming pool and the amenity center. Plus, the Anne Springs Close Greenway is just minutes away! This unique 2,100-acre nature preserve has almost every recreational activity you can think of… from mountain biking and horseback riding, to picnics and geocaching, canoeing and kayaking, hiking, camping and fishing.

Your fit lifestyle is very important to us at Evans Coghill, from our Environments for Living designs to our healthy amenities. Come see these incredible communities for yourself.
