If you visit this well-connected suburb, you’ll notice the many shops and restaurants, the excitement in the air, charming architecture, and juxtaposition of old with new.

The neighborhoods in Olde Town share a mix of small, brick historical homes with mature landscaping and newer, more modern condos with all the amenities of those found in metropolitan areas.
