PeaPod Homes™ welcomes the opportunity to work with individuals, developers, builders, intentional communities, municipalities, and others interested in exploring sustainability at the suburban/rural edge. We consider a complex matrix of transportation, services, and systems integration to help clients choose "what, where and how" to develop.
Building LEED homes in rural neighborhoods presents unique challenges. The LEED point system favors development in proximity to existing service and transportation hubs. Almost 10% of the LEED points are not available to rural locations; however, plenty of options still exist for rural home builders to achieve LEED certification.
Areas near mass transportation and projected transit extensions are favored over remote locations. Land stewardship is central to rural neighborhood development with typically higher densities per acre adjacent to protected common lands. Erosion prevention and protection, in general, for water courses play a key role in areas.
Whether you're planning a simple country home or an entire green neighborhood, PeaPod Homes™ is ready to help guide your journey. In the long run, look for sustainable corridors related to transit lines.
