Garden, located between Franklin Boulevard and the South Fork Catawba River, is a residential and civic Gastonia neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and leafy park edges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Franklin Blvd corridor near the Gastonia Farmers Market, where produce stalls, small food counters, and weekday errands set a steady rhythm. Nearby, the Schiele Museum of Natural History & Planetarium anchors local culture with hands-on exhibits and a wooded campus. Lineberger Park adds ballfields, walking loops, and shaded lawns that shape daily routines. Housing trends toward brick one-stories and tidy lots, with pockets of older cottages closer to downtown. Greenway access along the river gives the area a grounded, outdoors-forward feel.

The purpose of this district is to accommodate single-family site built and modular construction. The minimum lot size allowed in this district will be dependent on the provision of public or community water and sewer facilities. Although areas may be served with such utilities, most of these areas are located beyond existing or anticipated utility service coverage areas. The minimum lot size for residential uses in this district is therefore larger than in other residential zoning districts.
