Living in a townhouse offers various advantages. Due to their row-like construction and shared walls, they tend to be more affordable than detached homes. Additionally, townhouse living promotes a strong sense of community, fostering close-knit neighbourhoods where meaningful relationships and support systems thrive. Maintenance responsibilities are often shared among homeowners in these communities, reducing the financial burden. Lastly, the shared walls provide practical benefits like insulation from external weather conditions, resulting in a cozier living space and improved energy efficiency, particularly during colder winters.

A Proposed New Park in Auburn, AL – Ann Pearson Park A new park was announced at a recent Auburn City Council meeting. Ann Pearson Park in Auburn will be the first park on the north side of town, and the project is set to move fast! The park is named after Ann Pearson, an Auburn philanthropist and historic preservationist, the park not only honors her in name but also encompasses the Ann Pearson estate. Owned by Auburn University Real Estate Foundation Inc., the 47-acre estate is overseen by the Georgia-Alabama Land Trust. Auburn University Real Estate Foundation, Inc. approached the city and offered the use of the property for a passive park. The Georgia-Alabama Land Trust is the largest regional land trust in the Southeast and has jurisdiction over the property’s conservation easement. According to reports, the Pearson family put the property with the land trust in order to prevent it from being developed. City Manager Megan McGowen Crouch announced that it is under this trust that the passive park project has been approved. Plans for Ann Pearson Park in Auburn have already been developed and received the trust’s stamp of approval. These plans include: Nature playground One-mile gravel trail Nature trail Large open space Exercise stations Disc golf course Picnic areas Hammock pods A 600-square-foot pavilion | A 300-square-foot pavilion Restrooms Under the Georgia-Alabama Land Trust conservation easement, organized ball fields are not allowed. This doesn’t mean families are not allowed to play soccer or throw a ball; it just means there are no athletics in competition format that can take place there. Once open, you can find Ann Pearson Park in Auburn off north Shelton Mill Road, across from the Pearson family home and Noble Hall, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. As the population of Auburn continues to expand, so do the projects and opportunities in the town, and Ann Pearson Park is just one of many highly-anticipated community projects.

❓❓❓Did you know❓❓❓ The world’s largest treehouse was located in Crossville, Tennessee, United States and was built by Horace Burgess. The treehouse was over 100 feet tall and covered over 10,000 square feet, making it the largest in the world. It was built using recycled materials and took over 15 years to complete. The treehouse featured multiple rooms, a chapel, and even a basketball court. It was a popular tourist attraction and has been featured in various media outlets. The treehouse was supported by a group of trees. It was not attached to any one tree, allowing it to move slightly with the wind. It was considered a work of art and a testament to the creativity and determination of its creator. Unfortunately it recently burned to the ground in less than 15 minutes. #RealEstateTips #AvoidMistakes #RealEstateInvesting #TaxPlanning #RealEstateInvesting #WealthBuilding #Homeownership #RealEstateGoals #RealEstate #DallasRealEstate #HousingTrends #ClosedDeal #HomeSweetHome #RealEstateInsights #ProudHomeowner

🌳 As an advocate for sustainable development and environmental stewardship, I'm always intrigued by the various approaches to tree preservation across different regions. SavATree In Minnesota, tree preservation ordinances play a crucial role in maintaining the state's lush greenery and natural beauty. These ordinances often prioritize the protection of mature trees during construction projects, ensuring that development harmonizes with the existing landscape. Developers often express frustration with tree preservation ordinances due to perceived constraints on property development and increased project costs. These ordinances can sometimes conflict with the goals of maximizing space utilization and profitability. However, it's essential to recognize the long-term benefits of such regulations in fostering sustainable development and preserving biodiversity. By maintaining mature trees, these ordinances contribute to enhanced property values, improved air quality, and reduced energy consumption. Moreover, they play a vital role in mitigating the urban heat island effect and combating climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide. While developers may initially view tree preservation ordinances as obstacles, they can also present opportunities for innovation and creative design solutions. Integrating existing trees into site plans can enhance the aesthetic appeal of developments, create unique selling points, and foster a stronger connection to nature for residents and visitors alike. Ultimately, striking a balance between development interests and environmental conservation is paramount. Comparing this to the East and West Coasts, we see a diversity of approaches influenced by unique environmental factors and community priorities. On the East Coast, densely populated urban areas like New York City and Maryland have stringent tree preservation regulations aimed at preserving green spaces amidst urban sprawl. Meanwhile, on the West Coast, where wildfires pose a significant threat, tree preservation ordinances often focus on mitigating fire risks by regulating vegetation management and creating defensible spaces around properties. Despite regional differences, the overarching goal remains the same: to strike a balance between development and conservation, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy the benefits of healthy, vibrant ecosystems. Let's continue to champion tree preservation efforts across all regions, safeguarding our planet's natural treasures for generations to come. #TreePreservation #EnvironmentalStewardship #SustainableDevelopment 🌲

STREET ECOLOGY: Street vendors, street hawkers, and community members play significant roles in street ecology. These individuals add to the diversity and character of streets by offering a variety of goods and services. They contribute to the local economy and provide convenient shopping options for residents. Community member's engagement and participation in street design, maintenance, and use can help create safer, more inclusive, and attractive streets. Community-led initiatives such as street clean-ups, beautification projects, and events can enhance the overall environment of the street. Street vendors, hawkers, and community members provide opportunities for people to connect, share experiences, and build relationships, which is essential for creating a sense of place and identity in neighbourhoods. Street vendors and hawkers often provide important economic opportunities for marginalized groups, including women, migrants, and low-income individuals. They offer a means of livelihood and entrepreneurship. Their presence and engagement can enhance the overall livability and sustainability of streets, making them more vibrant and inclusive spaces for all. #StreetEcology #VibrantNeighborhoods #CommunityEngagement #UrbanLivability #InclusiveStreets #StreetVendors #HawkerCulture #CommunityParticipation

Summer tidy up If you’re thinking of selling your home in the new year, make use of the long summer days to focus on the outside. Remember that buyers will be looking at things like access, garaging/parking, hard landscaping and the condition of the garden. A few days outside in the sun could dramatically improve your property’s appeal. #pukekohe #auckland #ianbuchanan #bayleysnz #altogetherbetter #pukekoherealestate #aucklandrealestate #realestatenz
