April 28, 2001 | By Andrew A. Green | Andrew A. Green,SUN STAFF A developer is to break ground Tuesday on an apartment complex in downtown Towson that Baltimore County officials hope will demonstrate to other builders that suburbanites are interested in the urban idea of living close to work, shops and entertainment. Residents of the $20 million, 264- unit Dulaney Crescent apartment building will be able to walk to the Super Fresh without crossing a major street. They'll be closer to the Hecht's in Towson Town mall than Hecht's is to Nordstrom. Based on the surrounding traffic patterns , it will be more trouble to drive to the barber shop and dry cleaners than to walk. As sprawl has become a dirty word in recent years, the idea of creating compact communities that unify living, working and playing has become the urban planning vogue , in contrast to much post- World War II development that segregated houses from offices from shops. "I think [the apartments are]...
