Customer Review

At The Village Commons, our greatest success is the experience we create for those who live, shop, and spend time here. From casual afternoons to memorable nights out, our guests return time and again — and here’s what they have to say:

Beautiful place to shop, eat and walk around.

I enjoyed walking around the Commons. I couldn’t believe the variety of shops, restaurants and even Realtors and other various things. I went there years ago to the theater to see a film, but didn’t look around. I was impressed with the layout of the buildings. I felt as if I were transported to another time and place.
