A pocket neighborhood is an great opportunity for affordable homes in a planned community. They consist of grouping smaller residences, often around a courtyard, garden or park designed to promote a close knit sense of community and neighborliness.
These communities are typically designed within walking distance of shops and services, a reasonable walking distance to transit and bike trails for biking to work. Parking is designed to encourage one car households, and if all of these features are marketed, then prospective residents who want to drive less, walk and bike more will self-select these very special homes.
Other optional sustainability features including solar panels and geothermal HVAC systems combined with the location and transportation options can reduce the carbon footprint of the households and help support environmental initiatives. Large porches, the proximity of the homes and any common buildings will enhance interaction among neighbors, which is attractive to those seeking a greater sense of community.
Stephen Fuller has taken years of design experience in classic and traditional design to marry his skills with creating beautiful affordable modern efficient homes. These homes appeal to anyone who wants to own a home and get back to the basics, being a neighbor, owning less, but doing more.
