Where Green Means Much More than Grass
Foxborough is a beautiful community of 57 exclusive single-family homesites, delicately worked into a natural setting of more than 20 ponds and lakes, wetlands, ash groves and oak savannah. It is a place where home is one with the surrounding nature rather than an intruder.
Under the broad umbrella of conservation development, Green neighborhoods take a very careful approach to land development. At Foxborough, retention of the natural landscape and wildlife is at the core of this philosophy, beginning with an overall plan for yards and roadways that minimizes runoff and reduces costs, maintenance and human impact on nature. Foxborough’s homes are set into approximately half the land, with the other half naturally embracing the homes. Boardwalks span wetlands as part of a pathway that encircles the entire neighborhood, affording a perfect evening stroll to enjoy all of the natural beauty that surrounds you.
You’ll want to tour all three gorgeous Parade HomesSM this fall at Foxborough to experience the full beauty of this neighborhood. Architecturally distinctive, all three showcase top quality construction and a variety of modern floor plans to suit family needs. You’ll find exquisite materials and finishes, from granite and cherry hardwood to fieldstone and reclaimed wide-plank floors, will reward your visit.

#253, Better Living Homes by Harstad, 11500 17th Place NE, $349,900
Come Home to a Little Piece of Mayberry
When Bailey Commons was designed, the idea of creating a friendly neighborhood where the residents would know each other and build a real small-town atmosphere, was just a dream. Today, with over half of the 69 homes complete, the dream is a reality. From quarterly potlucks to charitable drives, the neighbors know and support each other in this beautiful, association-maintained, single-family-home community.
This is a maintenance-free lifestyle neighborhood, so you have more time to spend with family and doing the things you love. The immediate area features parks, trails, ponds, a creek and the Crow River. Individually owned, large lots are fully landscaped and irrigated. Create your own garden. Your pets are welcome.
With eight different one-level and two-story plans, the neighborhood welcomes families at every life phase. This model provides all of the needed ingredients for a happy, well run and efficient household: entertaining, organizing, storage, private retreat and flex areas. The plan is architecturally unique with abundant natural light, with an office, gazebo shaped dinette, vaulted ceilings, a cozy sun room and 2 owner suites. Both suites have separate baths, spacious walk-in closets and patio doors accessing either a private deck or patio. A family room, game room, three-car garage and walk-out basement complete this very special model. See more photos at www.BetterLivingHomes.Net

A Natural Choice
Environmentally friendly design was an important aspect of Lennar’s development of Millbrook in Stillwater. From design to construction, Lennar has created a community that is respectful to its natural surroundings. Nestled between Brown’s Creek and South Twin Lake, Millbrook is rich in natural beauty and offers stunning views. The natural character of the community is enhanced by an interesting mixture of landscape materials. Millbrook incorporates the use of natural infiltration and larger buffer zones to protect South Twin Lake and Brown’s Creek, which is a designated Trout Stream.
Through the development process, Lennar looked for opportunities to creatively include an assortment of techniques to control erosion and address stormwater concerns.
The community features three neighborhoods, including Colonial Manor Townhomes from the $190’s, Landmark Single Family homes from the $320’s, and American Heartland Single Family homes from the $440’s. As a Millbrook homeowner you can enjoy the walking trails, tot lot, and the neighborhood pier on South Twin Lake.
Stillwater has always had a reputation as one of the Twin Cities’ most desirable locations. Just a few minutes from Stillwater’s historic downtown district, Millbrook offers the very best in small town living. Here, you’ll find every modern convenience and recreational opportunity close by, including shopping, restaurants, golfing, boating, hiking, biking and skiing.

Lake Living at its Finest
Palmer Pointe is one of those magical places that come along very rarely. Originally the Yellowstone Trail took covered wagons and stagecoaches past the Palmer House Hotel along the bluff that snuggled between Lake Minnetonka and Zumbra Lake. This beautiful land has now been transformed into an amenity rich neighborhood situated on 56 acres of prime lake property. Residents of the 50-plus, custom-designed single-family homes here have access to a private beach, beach house, boat club, day docks, walking trails and surrounding areas where the property’s historic water tower can still be seen.
And this is not one size fits all living. A variety of association services are available that allow each resident to choose the level that best suits their lifestyle. That includes the private Palmer Pointe Boat Club where the first homeowners will receive a free one-year membership. The boat club includes their own fleet of boats, water skis, wake boards, tubes and even deckhands to ensure every lake outing is perfect!
