Sustainability isn’t all about going green. Sustain just means “support”. So when we say sustainability, we’re talking about having everything you need to support a community…or in our case, a village. But when we do talk about being “green”, we can honestly say that Village Verde is leading the pack.  Our master plan includes sustainability practices such as:

Green Community: Designed & engineered by Green Earth Land Design and SMC Consulting Engineers, P.C., Village Verde will be applying for NAHB’s National Green Land Development certification to ensure our plan conforms to green development practices.

Energy Efficiency: All home builders will be required to achieve a third party certification proving energy efficiency.  This will in turn save the consumer money in operating costs, but also reduce the demands on the planet.

Walkability:  Having walking trails and connecting sidewalks helps promote health, a community and reduces automobile use

Mixed-uses: With direct access to commercial, retail and medical basic services, the distance one needs to travel is greatly reduced as well as encouraging walking and biking.

Civic Spaces: Areas such as Village Verde’s Central park, pocket parks, playgrounds, and ponds encourage activity outdoors.

Water Efficiencies: By using WaterSense approved fixtures all homes will reduce waste and promote conservation.
