Parks
Mixson's first public space is an intimate courtyard on Summey Street at its intersection with McCarthy Street. The courtyard is designed around a 50 year old Laurel Oak and includes a small fountain.
This space is designed to be flexible, so it should be perfect whether you are looking for a place to read a book in the shade, have a neighborhood party, or anything in between.

The Barn
The Barn at Mixson is one of the marquee gathering places for folks who call Mixson home. Perfect for organized events and impromptu barbecues, The Barn features a tin roof, industrial caged fans, and picnic tables and benches. Next to the barn, you'll find a classic fire pit, large grill and a leaguesized bocce court, making it the perfect place for parties, afternoon get togethers and Lowcountry oyster roasts. Round up some friends, brew a few pitchers of sweet tea and fire up the grill! And if you time it right, you'll see some pretty amazing sunsets while at The Barn.

Street Design
Streets are the backbone along which a community is created. At Mixson, we've put incredible care into designing the streets for pedestrians and children at play as well as bicyclists and cars. Mixson streets are places in their own right: public spaces that support a vibrant community life, and offer safe transport to all.

Trees
The Mixson neighborhood benefits from a substantial collection of trees of a variety of species. Live and laurel oaks, magnolias, and maples are found in every corner of the property. Mixson is designed to protect these trees, and in many cases they will be the central feature of our public parks and courtyards.
