Mt. Airy 'Name Our Neighborhood' Poll

by Pleasants Development ·

Poll options

Brooksted – This name is a subtle nod to the owners of the property, the Beck family, which has been part of the fabric of Mount Airy for more than a century. Beck is an old English term for brook or stream, and “sted” means place. Brooksted brings both together to mean “Beck Place.”

Colliston – This name uses Latin terms that mean “Mountain Farm” drawing from the “Mount” in Mt. Airy and the “farm” in the Beck Farm.

Ebberton – This name pays homage to Ebbert Lindsay “Pat” Beck, who owned the property for nearly four decades, literally meaning “Ebbert’s Farm.”

Kendal Crossing – This name references the acres of Kendal green forests that will be preserved as part of the development, as well as the property’s planned creation of a new connection of Center Street to Route 27/Ridge Road.

Mount Airy Crossing – This name is both a reference to the area’s history as a thriving railroad station along the old B&O Railroad, as well as the project’s planned extension of Center Street “crossing” over Route 27/Ridge Road – literally helping to connect Route 27 to downtown.
