Land in Arden can't be sold, only leased. I wouldn't be surprised if Rose Valley has some related arrangement. Stuff like that can really chance land use.
I know L-Rose Valley does have more private land ownership than L-Arden, apparently the original settlers felt that one of the failings of Arden was that the leasing model wasn’t conducive to people staying invested in the community long-term, but I dont know the exact details off hand. I think Winterthur holds a lot of the records for both communities so I could probably email them and ask, if anyone is interested?
