WaterView is a new 65-acre development where "the Cleavers would feel at home."
"The creators of WaterView, in the Middle River-Essex area, believe the 65-acre development warrants a bigger name. For them, it's "a new American town." .. WaterView's "neo-traditional" design seeks to create a community that Ward and June Cleaver would yearn to move into. To ensure that the $40 million community will succeed, Rosenberg brought in Urban Design Associates, a Pittsburgh company best known for helping to design the master plan for Celebration, a planned community developed by the Walt Disney Co., near Orlando, Fla."
