Environmental Protection and Enhancement
Based on the premise that nature knows best, our conservation living design protects natural features, such as woodlands and stream buffers. To protect these areas, impervious surfaces, such as streets and driveways, are reduced and a more natural stormwater management system is used. Each of our Conservation Communities provides seven times the amount of public, open space than what is found in a typical development. These areas, usually planted with native flowers and grasses, are beautiful and functional. They provide aesthetic value, adequate stormwater conveyance, distribution of the water flow, and filtration of pollutants.
A Sense of Community
We believe that community and conservation living can go hand in hand. The trails and open spaces are designed to be places where people can meet to enjoy and care for the land. From the outset, Hubbell Realty Company has sought to work collaboratively with its neighbors, seeking to achieve unusual synergies with city planners, state and federal conservation groups, and the residents in each town.
Aesthetic Design and High-Quality Construction
Land planning and architecture have been conducted specifically for each of the Conservation Communities by professionals widely known in their fields. Consultants from successful developments in Chicago and Minneapolis have lent their expertise to ensure the best possible design with the least amount of environmental impact for each community. The high standards of design and execution of construction Hubbell Homes is known for will be a staple in each of these conservation living communities.
Energy Conservation
In the conviction that reduction of energy use is essential to our environmental and economic wellbeing, buildings are being constructed with energy saving principles incorporated. Each home will receive the energy star of approval.
A Healthy Lifestyle
Whether breathing in the fresh air or playing catch, a conservation community gives its residents natural space to rejuvenate the soul and expand the mind. The nature trails and natural habitat of a Hubbell Conservation Community offer its residents the opportunity to explore and discover nature on a daily basis.
