Seaside, Florida is one of the most emulated communities in the country and is often cited as the first New Urbanism development with its emphasis on aWalk/Bike to Anywhere in the Community concept. Time Magazine called Seaside the most astounding design achievement of its era, and one might hope, the most influential.
Seaside is the ultimate mixed use development with a blend of beautiful homes along with a post office, gourmet grocery store, school, restaurants, shops, amphitheater and much more. Seaside gained even more notoriety as the location for the filming in 1997 of Jim Careys The Truman Show. A Hollywood set was to be built showing the ultimate dream community but when the directors wife discovered Seaside, the decision was made to film here.
