What Is Smart Growth at One Loudoun?

By: One Loudoun

When living and working at One Loudoun, you might sometimes hear the term smart growth in conversation from time to time. This begs the question, “What exactly is smart growth?” and “Why are we so excited that it carries the weight it does in the continued development of One Loudoun?”

According to NewsWorks, smart growth refers to a “planning approach that favors walkable and bikeable communities over suburban sprawl.”

How does smart growth benefit residents?

Advocates for smart growth know that these communities offer a higher quality of life because “residents have shorter commutes, walk around more, and presumably breathe cleaner, less polluted air.” These ideals also fall in line with those of New Urbanism, as well as mixed-use developments like One Loudoun.

In mixed-use communities, children also have plenty of room to explore and play outdoors, as including and maintaining green space is a continued priority for such developments. We certainly know this to be true at One Loudoun! Better yet in 2015, One Loudoun will also be welcoming even more commercial and retail to the community, creating a truly all-inclusive downtown environment.

It’s easy to see how these various benefits can seep into all aspects of our lives, creating a general wellness that is often lost in traditional neighborhoods.

And here at One Loudoun, we believe that living in a smart growth community is a smart idea! Miller & Smith and Camberley Homes both offer new single-family homes that are in high demand. With only a few remaining, moving into a new home at One Loudoun is an exclusive opportunity!
