The Satisfaction of Life in a Sustainable Neighborhood

Not only are the residents of Oak Terrace Preserve helping to reduce the environmental impact of development, they're helping restore a natural balance that's been compromised for centuries. Energy efficient home designs and technologies save money and cut the waste of dwindling resources. A bio-filtering stormwater system handles runoff while replenishing struggling creek ecosystems with pollution-free water. Everywhere, natural beauty is protected and encouraged. The result is a deep sense of satisfaction - that we're working toward a sustainable relationship between our homes and our planet.

old-growth trees
Hundreds of massive oaks, magnolias and other old-growth trees represent natural features that are very rare in a new community.

These trees are preserved through a painstaking inventory/management process.

Damaged trees have been restored to health, and the community layout has been adjusted to leave plenty of space for these
flourishing natural assets.

parks and greenspace
Oak Terrace Preserve includes 17 pocket-parks sprinkled throughout the community. They protect grand trees and create shaded destinations for a family stroll. A run/walk fitness trail circles the 50-acre community, offering a convenient way to get a little exercise and enjoy our natural surroundings.

managing runoff
Pocket parks, bio-swales, backyard rain gardens, permeable alleys and walkways – these are some of the features that form a unique biomanagement system for stormwater.

This system filters out acquired contaminants like engine oil, household chemicals and other wastes.

The result is a more even flow of healthy, pollution-free water to replenish Filbin Creek and the surrounding watershed.
