The Pinehills

The Pinehills is a census designated place (CDP)[1] located in the Pine Hills region of Plymouth, Massachusetts. As of 2008, the project is the largest new residential and commercial development in New England.[2] The community consists of over 1,000 luxury houses, apartments and condominiums, two golf courses, a country club, and the Village Green, a small commercial center with shops and services. It is still under construction. When completed in 2014, it is expected to contain close to 3,000 homes and stretch over an area of 3,060 acres (12.4 km2), an area larger than many Massachusetts towns.[2]

The houses in The Pinehills are broken into several small neighborhoods. Homes are designed by one of nine different builders, the largest being Thorndike Development and Whitman Homes.[3]
