Renaissance On The River

RENAISSANCE ON THE RIVER, Fourth Avenue N. between West River Parkway and North 1st Street A 100-unit townhouse enclave, Renaissance has the feeling of a small-scale neighborhood. Its location adjacent to the West River Parkway certainly contributes to that ambiance, as residents can orient to the landscaped Mississippi riverfront even as they are within an easy walk of Downtown's high-energy Warehouse District. Beyond this Janus-like orientation to a serene landscape or to urban activity, the development benefits from thoughtful planning, which separates pedestrians and entrances from cars and service. The deeply colored brick exteriors allude to brownstone blocks out East, but by comparison with those gritty neighborhoods, this is a tranquil and comfortable environment.
