Landes North

About Landes North

Landes North hosts six homes. Four (4) are two-bedroon and two (2) are three-bedroom homes. Each home is approximately 900 t 1200 square feet.

Paired homes.  Similar to duplex-style housing, paired homes have a couple of key differences:
1) Thanks to zero lot line zoning, each home stands on it’s own plot of land rather than sharing the ground beneath it.  The zero lot line means that a home’s wall can touch the edge of the lot rather than having a minimum set-back.
2) Although the homes appear to share a common wall, they actually have their own walls with an insulated space between them.

Advanced Framing. This construction technique reduces use of lumber and increases insulation efficiency, translating to a lower cost to build and reduced energy cost for the homeowner.

Mindful construction.  Excess sheetrock is collected and turned into fertilizer, and all styrofoam is recycled.

Permanently affordable.  Landes North is part of Habitat’s new Permanent Affordability program.  A Habitat homeowner will purchase a home at an affordable rate.  Their mortgage will not exceed 30% of their income.  In exchange for affordable housing, a homeowner agrees to limit the appreciation on their home.  If and when a homeowner decides to sell, they will sell at a price that should be affordable to someone else in the same economic bracket.
