What if:

• There was a mom-and-pop corner store and your kids could walk to it?
• Your kids could walk to school, or ride their bikes to soccer practice?
• You could give up one of your cars and work at home, or even walk to work, shopping, restaurants or the gym?
• You could live in a neighborhood that had LEED-ND design certification, a new national standard for livable and sustainable communities?
• You could live in a neighborhood that nurtured its residents spiritually, socially and economically?

Now you can experience all of this and more.

Water's Edge: Authentic Community Development.

Awarded Idaho Smart Growth's "Grow Smart" Award for best mixed-use project and participating in the USGBC's LEED for Neighborhood Development Pilot Program, Aldeia at Water’s Edge, is located near Boise in Kuna, Idaho. Water's Edge is a 68-acre "retrofuturism" themed community that will be comprised of a wide range of housing choices and price points, including single-family homes with front porches and alley access. Amenities will include an 1800's reproduction country church as a centerpiece in the town square, charter school, lake, retail stores, restaurants, daycare, offices, branch library, branch post office and much more.

Sustainable practices evident will be solar lot orientation, low impact stormwater strategies and a commitment to LEED for Homes and Energy Star certifications. Many homes will have solar power, small wind power, ground source heat pumps and other alternative energy systems. Smart home technology will be available for those buyers looking for the ability to telecommute and have a home based business.
