THE NEW LOCATION SITUATION

CITY, SUBURBAN AND RURAL LIVING ALL ARE BLENDING INTO NEW TYPES OF NEIGHBORHOODS

n Colorado, residents of Bucking Horse in Fort Collins will be able to eat from fruit trees, buy handmade jewelry and even go milk a cow at the neighborhood farm. In Michigan, those in Cherry Hill Village, located in the Detroit suburb of Canton, can take

in a show at the 400-seat Village Theater at Cherry Hill, which is built right into their neighborhood. Homeowners in Patriots Landing in Quinton, Virginia, have four lakes in which to fish, a grocery store near the neighborhood entrance and more than 80 acres of undevel-

oped woodlands they can explore. Communities like this turn the classic question “city or suburbs?” on its head. After all, surveys have shown that people are more interested in walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods that have a sense of community.

RE-Weekly.com

These neighborhoods redefine, or at least blur, what it means to be urban, suburban or rural. CHANGING PRIORITIES The mantra in real estate has always been “location, location, location,” but these neighborhoods show that location

may not be as important as something else: community. It’s an increasingly popular concept, considering Americans are showing an increased preference for neighborhoods that invite walking and contain a mixture of houses, shops, eateries

March 6, 2015

and other businesses. In the National Association of Realtors’ 2013 Community Preference Survey, the most recent year figures are available, 60 percent of respondents would choose a walkable neighborhood over one where they would have to drive more between work, home and leisure activities. Seventy-eight percent of 1,500 people surveyed also said the neighborhood where they live is more important than the size of the house. The most popular choice for an ideal community, respondents said, would be a suburban neighborhood with a mixture of homes and businesses, with the least popular being a neighborhood with only houses. The result has been the rise of developments and neighborhoods focused not on being just another cluster of houses but rather their own selfcontained villages and towns. The emphasis in these neighborhoods is not living near something but within something – namely, a dynamic environment.

EVOLVING WORK FORCE “The gravitation toward mixed-use neighborhoods has been made possible by the ability of more people to work remotely”, says Ray Zabielski, managing broker of a real estate company in Naperville, Illinois. He points to the historic migration from farms to cities that came with the rise of manufacturing centers, and later, central offices that concentrated jobs in metros. Now, technology has changed everything. “Right now,” he says, “people can choose what appeals to them the most. They can survive making a living in any area. These alternative opportunities are a real boon to the economy.” ENHANCED AWARENESS A desire for well-rounded, healthy lifestyles also is a major factor in these holistic communities, says Gino Campana, the founder of the real estate company behind the Bucking Horse farmadjacent community.

They are noticeably veering away from the McMansion-subdivision mentality and placing more importance on smaller, high-quality homes that promote healthy living. He also attributes the new emphasis on health and community to the change in family structure over the last several decades. “We went from ‘Leave It to Beaver,’ Mom stays home and cooks, to dualincome families,” Campana says. With both parents working, some families are getting less time to be together, he says: “Now we’re seeing some guilt associated with it, so if we can design more efficiency and time [into our lifestyles], that will allow people to spend more time with their families.”
