What does Sustainable Neighborhood Mean to a Modular Home?

Do you want a sustainable neighborhood for your modular home? A sustainable neighborhood meets your needs while protecting the environment. Modular home in a sustainable neighborhood is located near shops, schools, recreation, work and other daily destinations. This helps reduce driving costs and lets residents enjoy the health benefits of walking and cycling. Land and services, like roads, are used efficiently. Sustainable neighborhoods also feature a choice of homes that are affordable.

To help you in looking for a sustainable neighborhood for your modular home, here are some questions to ask:

Transportation from Modular Home

Are stores, schools, recreation facilities, restaurants, and health services within walking or cycling distance from your modular home? Will your children need to take a bus to school? Can they walk to the park? Can you do most of your shopping without a car?

Are there nearby bus stops and cycling lanes from your modular home? How long is the bus ride to work, or school? Can you safely bike?

Modular Home Size and Features

Are the modular homes compact with shared walls to reduce heating costs?

Are modular homes reasonably sized with lots requiring less upkeep?

Are there different dwelling types (such as single-detached, semi-detached, townhouse and apartments) in the neighborhood?

Are the lots modestly sized? Roadways narrow? Are the driveways/parking areas small? Do natural drain ways lead to streams or park lands? Is there native vegetation and streams with woodland edges?

“Look and feel” of the Neighborhood

Do the buildings have a friendly face to the street? Are the community centers, shops and meeting places welcoming?

Are there trees lining the street? Do you find the homes interesting to look at?  Do the building sizes feel comfortable to you? Are the roads easy to walk along or cross?

Safety of the Neighborhood

Are there people around who might watch out for your modular home? Is there somewhere to go in an emergency? Is there adequate street lighting? Are there safe places for children to play? Are the streets safe for cyclists and pedestrians? Is traffic slow moving and light?
