Is it possible to control growth in order to maintain the beauty of SW Durham?
As a resident of southwest Durham, I am incredibly proud of our area's beautiful tree-lined streets. I love that the developers of some of the earliest subdivisions in SW Durham understood the importance of maintaining mature trees, including green spaces and parks in our neighborhoods, and of maintaining buffers as well. I want to be sure that this natural beauty is maintained.
I have visited so many new subdivisions in other areas that are built on clear-cut lots, and it's enough to make you cry. Our wooded areas support many species of nesting birds, foraging deer, and small animals. While development inevitably impacts these animals, wise planning will minimize pressure on wildlife, and encourage diverse habitats. Not to mention the impact on water and ecology in the area.
From the granddaddy of SW Durham subdivisions, Parkwood (which I am proud to call home!), to the newer developments around the Streets of Southpoint mall -- growth, change, and development are being closely monitored and planned to meet the goal of maintaining all that is good about SW Durham.
For details on growth plans, SWDurham.org has a fabulous website. You can not only read up on latest zoning issues and planned development, but you can get detailed descriptions of the goals for ongoing SW Durham development.
As a realtor, I am always cognizant of things that impact property values. As a resident, I'm always concerned about maintaining all the good reasons that I chose to make SW Durham my home. It was great to learn about SWDurham.org, where I signed up to receive regular updates (and peace of mind) about the future of the area.
If you are interested in learning more about SW Durham real estate, and all that the area has to offer, I'd love to talk to you. You can search for homes on my website, or call (919-210-5418) or email (dgrasty@nc.rr.com) to discuss your needs and I'll do it for you.
