Conservation Communities

Environmental Protection and Enhancement

Based on the premise that nature knows best, our conservation living designs protect natural features such as woodlands and stream buffers. To protect these areas, impervious surfaces, such as streets and driveways, are reduced and a more natural stormwater management system is used. Each of our Conservation Communities provides approximately seven times the amount of public, open space than what is found in a typical development. These areas, usually planted with native flowers and grasses, are beautiful and functional. They provide aesthetic value, adequate stormwater conveyance, distribution of the water flow, and natural filtration of pollutants.

A Sense of Community

We believe that close-knit communities and conservation living go hand in hand. The trails and open spaces are designed to be places where people can meet to enjoy and care for the land. From the outset, Hubbell Homes has sought to work collaboratively with its neighbors, seeking to achieve unusual synergies with city planners, state and federal conservation groups, and the residents in each town.

Aesthetic Design and High-Quality Construction

Land planning and architecture have been conducted specifically for each of the Conservation Communities by professionals widely known in their fields. Consultants from similar successful developments in Chicago and Minneapolis have lent their expertise to ensure the best possible design with the least amount of environmental impact for each community. The high standards of design and execution of construction Hubbell Homes is known for will be a staple in each of these conservation living communities.

Energy Conservation

Knowing that energy conservation is essential to our environmental and economic wellbeing, every Hubbell Home is built with energy saving principles in mind. Each home is built to go beyond what is required in the guidelines set forth by ENERGY STAR.

A Healthy Lifestyle

Whether breathing in the fresh air or playing catch, a conservation community gives its residents natural space to rejuvenate the soul and expand the mind. The nature trails and natural habitat of a Hubbell Conservation Community offer its residents the opportunity to explore and discover nature every day of the year.
