The first neighborhood built by Showcase in New Albany, Hampsted Village first began construction in 1995 and was completed about nine years later. Since then, Hampsted Village has established a reputation for spacious, elegant living in an ideal location. Residents also enjoy a tightly knit community of neighbors that’s made all the more close by regular community events, from pickup games of soccer to the annual garage sale. Neighbors tend to organize community events throughout the year, such as the Hampsted Village Garage Sale held in June. Hampsted Village’s location is another reason for its desirability. Right across the street is a shopping plaza anchored by Kroger, and around the corner are New Albany’s village amenities, including the library and New Albany-Plain Local School District campus. Neighborhood sidewalks and paved trails allow residents to get around town without a car.
