Welcome to NorthWest Crossing
Tight-knit and charming, this walkable neighborhood offers a true community feel.
Featuring charming, tree-lined streets and welcoming front porches, this 486-acre neighborhood boasts a bustling town center with award-winning restaurants, several public schools and 50 acres of parks. Built partially on a Ponderosa pine tree farm and designed based on the principals of new urbanism, an architectural philosophy that emphasizes pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods integrated with commercial and retail businesses, NorthWest Crossing, colloquially referred to as NWX, contains a mix of single-family homes and cottages as well as well-appointed apartments and townhomes.
Green building practices are strictly enforced in this community — every home in the neighborhood is required to be Earth Advantage Certified, and two retail buildings in the commercial district were among the first in the state to receive the LEED-CS Silver designation. An interconnected trail and sidewalk system encourages residents to walk and bike to work and school.
Nearly 90 businesses call NorthWest Crossing home and represent everything from manufacturing and medical to professional services and retail. And ample greenspace allows for plenty of outdoor recreation.
