Tyler Smith :
Satenbe is amazing, but the answer to your question is because sarenbe is a $2 billion dollar development with the median home price being right over $900,000.

I love Serenbe. Unfortunately most developers and builders want to make the most amount of profit, not create an ecosystem. I am sure just about anyone would prefer to live in a community like that, I sure would!

America sells walkability as a premium, whereas it’s normal in other countries to walk everywhere

How rich do you have to be to live there?

Now do this only with tiny homes for greater affordability. Think of focusing on the aging and singles. Women who want to congregate near other women. Make it a mix community for greater connection and support.

y'all it's expensive bc it's desirable. if we built more areas like this it would be affordable. building well designed urban forms is not inherently expensive.

It’s about pushing profit margins and it’s about outdated zoning practices that have stagnated options for urban development. It’s about legislation that requires that our society be built to accommodate automotive traffic rather than people.

Okay but where do the trash collectors live, the gardeners? If everyone involved in a community can’t live there it’s just pretending for rich folks while the working class have to commute in for them from less desirable areas.

Yes I live in a place just like that. 3100 homes, cheapest is $500k, parks, tennis, underground power, lakes, waterfalls. 10 miles of bike trails, hot tubs, stream room, etc . We call them gated communities

I live in something like this- an only pedestrian neighborhood, and houses cost less than $200k. So it is possible to build something similar. The difference is that it’s only townhouses. I love that we have no cars areas, a lot of greenery. Baltimore wanted to make a huge town inside of the city out of it with 3000 units, but dropped it and built only 300. Which I think is a shame because it is a great city living with a feeling like you are in suburbs.

We have a neighborhood near us where we seriously considered a home. Stunning. I just could not bring myself to allow us to spend $4600/year on an HOA. There’s so much value in this type of development… we need to make it affordable.

Here’s why we don’t build more neighborhoods like this. The lots start around 400k. These are multimillion dollar homes. The homes and neighborhood is beautiful. 99% of Americans cannot afford this.

ARCar :
Love the idea as a prototype, but in reality this community only really works for retirees/second homes/remote. There’s a mismatch between its extreme exurban location and high cost. It’s isolated, away from critical and daily services and most of the few retail/cafe options there are very ‘tourist-capture’ with prices to match. So it works for a very narrow set of circumstances. I’m glad it exists as a sort of proof of concept, but would like to see these development principles applied more broadly, particularly in locations more suited to daily living.

Maggie James :
This is putting a lot of trust into the little community and it's members. One bad egg ruins it for everyone. So you do HOAs. People don't want that. So you weed out the undesirables by making it expensive. To do this on a low to middle income level format it would take financial help from outside sources which unfortunately just doesn't seem to work in the US. Americans have become too entitled and greedy for these areas to work on a larger scale.

What I love about community is having a diversity of people, rich, poor, and middle class. this isn’t that.

Looks like an older village you would find in Denmark or the English countryside. Very charming, very copy, very human-oriented.
