Sustainability is integrated into Baseline’s plan on multiple levels – from landscaping that uses less than half the water of other communities to carbon-footprint mapping that will guide us in minimizing our environmental impact over time. As the first-of-its-kind pollinator-friendly community, with a pedestrian/cycle-friendly trail network, Baseline’s design is an exciting new model for future communities to follow.
Baseline integrates nature into an urban environment for healthy living. Our Green Infrastructure includes 172 acres of natural and recreational open land, parks and pocket parks interconnected by trails and gardenways – 882 acres of walkable/bikeable terrain in all.
Our builders are committed to sustainability as well. For example, the DoMore Rows by Thrive Home Builders are solar-equipped and zero-energy ready. (We are encouraging solar panels for the entire community although not requiring them.) Paired homes by KB Home are designed to meet EPA Indoor airPLUS standards with high-performance ventilation systems, low- or zero-VOC products in insulation, paint, carpeting and cabinetry, and other features.
