The Pinehills

The Pinehills is a census-designated place (CDP)[1] located in the Pine Hills region of Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. As of 2008, the project is the largest new residential and commercial development in New England.[2] The community will consist 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] At the 2010 census, the population was 955.[3]

The houses in The Pinehills are broken into several small neighborhoods. Each neighborhood has a different home style: from cottage homes to custom homes to townhomes to luxury apartment rentals. Homes are designed by one of nine different builders, including Whitman Homes, MacKenzie Brothers, Toll Bros and Barefoot Cottage Company.[4]

The Pinehills is also home to The Mirbeau Inn & Spa. This is the second Mirbeau in the U.S., with the first in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. Mirbeau is known for its award-winning cuisine, world-class spa treatments and beautiful architecture and design. Surrounding the Inn are Monet-inspired pond gardens.

Currently, 80 new residences, part of the Laurelwood section, are in construction by Northbridge Companies and are expected to open in Spring 2015. These apartments will offer assisted living and memory care for seniors.

The courses are titled the "Nicklaus Course" and the "Rees Jones Course", and both are consistently ranked among the top golf courses in the United States.[6] The development also contains a country club and a golf center.
