Connect to Better Living
Emerson offers homeowners a better way of living designed to enhance their well-being. By promoting personal interaction, healthy activity, lifelong learning, cultural opportunities, and direct contact with nature, Emerson’s design keeps residents’ lives engaging.
Our living streets, micro-neighborhoods, and pro-pedestrian design foster greater personal interaction. Greenbelt trails, community gardens, and walking access to a 15 acre nature preserve encourage putting your heels, hands, and hearts directly into Florida’s beautiful natural surroundings. Academic lecture series, gourmet cooking instruction, and master gardener programs on site expand horizons. The vibrancy of the university town surrounding Emerson permeates nearby shops, restaurants, and venues which offer authentically crafted dining experiences, unique apparel and art, and diverse music and cultural experiences.
Emerson is designed to create better living through connections. Experience better living at Emerson.
Connect with Yourself
Emerson is designed to reduce the distance between who you are and who you want to be. Every residence at Emerson features an Imagine Room, a space separated from the main residence dedicated to the personal activities, pursuits, and interests homeowners choose. These private, flexible spaces are ideal for yoga in the morning, pottery in the afternoon, and music in the evening and are perfectly suited for studying, reading, or working from home.
Find your center at Emerson.
Connect with People
Friendships and connections based on mutual interests enrich people’s lives While the private spaces at Emerson remain innately personal, our carefully thought out approach to public spaces promotes community building and fosters those connections. We designed Emerson around micro-neighborhoods of no more than fourteen residences built around a pedestrian-focused living street, a Dutch concept known as a Woonerf. By prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists, our Woonerfs become tree-lined social spaces where neighbors can meet and children can safely play. Residents can spectate or participate in street-level activity from the elevated space of the stoops on every home.
Connect with your Curiosity
Emerson supports your personal growth through organized programs at the Emerson Pavilion. The Homeowner Group hosts lectures, community book clubs, art classes, museum outreach programs, and more. Our 10-minute proximity to the University of Florida allows residents to easily attend on-campus events, participate in mentorship opportunities, and even offer guest lectures.
Enjoy regularly organized wellness activities in our community,healthy cooking classes in our outdoor kitchen, group meditation, and walking and biking clubs.
