A 48- unit apartment complex called the Villas at Potter's Creek is developing in Alliance. Malcolm Hall CantonRep .com staff writer @mhallREP ALLIANCE  Never mind that the landscaping is far from finished and there is no grass on the lawns. People are already arriving to take up residency in a developing apartment complex called the Villas at Potter's Creek. Located in the extreme southeast corner of Alliance, the Villas at Potter's Creek is in its first phase of what is expected to be a two-phase development.

When our children were 11 and 9, young enough to still be entirely inside the family circle but old enough to remember, we splurged on a “once in a lifetime vacation ” and rented a small farmhouse in Southwestern France outside the village of Saint-Cyprien. Each day, our son and daughter would say goodbye to the donkey that hung around our patio and we’d climb in the tiny rented Renault and drive somewhere in the fairy- tale beautiful Dordogne River region .

City fathers had wakened one morning in the late 1950s to realize that, leaning above narrow and winding cobblestone streets and alleys, they had one of the largest collections of intact medieval architecture in Europe.

Known for strip malls and shopping centers and rows of single-family homes, the Valley is often thought of as somehow separate from Los Angeles—though most of its communities have been part of the city for over 100 years. But that perception may start to slip away as new transit options and LA’s rising cost of living draw in new residents and development dollars. In advance of some of these changes, we caught up with several active community members in the Valley to get their take on the region’s future. Here’s what we learned: Don’t call it a suburb The Valley may not be as dense as Downtown LA or Koreatown—nor as walkable—but it’s still plenty urban. “If the Valley is a suburb, I don’t know what you’d call Santa Clarita or Simi Valley or the Thousand Oaks area ,” says lifelong Valley resident Zachary Rynew , who founded the CiclaValley blog to promote bicycling events in the area and advocate for better bike infrastructure .
