Today we had our general office meeting, went on Tour in the 100° heat (yes we still have Tour here in Cary and quite a few of us braved the weather today), and then we had lunch at a wonderful new community in a fast growing area of Cary - Tryon Villas.   

Tryon Villas is a very special luxury home community which fits right in with the Active 55+ segment that I work with on a regular basis.   I've shown some clients this quaint neighborhood in the past - one of the homes on the 8 Acre Lake and my clients really appreciated the "no maintenance" yards, the craftsmanship of the builder Lance Youngquist, and the ability to walk to the grocery store down the street.  Both of the onsite agents including, June Sanderson, who represent Fonville Morisey's New Homes Division, were very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful tour pointing out all of the features and benefits of the homes. 

One thing I didn't really consider, until today, is that Tryon Villas is the ONLY all green neighborhood in the Triangle.  They were featured on the 3rd Annual Triangle Green Home Tour May 3rd & May 4th   I wrote about about a month ago and also received a Bronze Award for Excellence in this area.  Youngquist is a part of a nationwide initiative called the Green Building Initiative.  For more information on "Why Build Green" start here.  

I'll write more in detail about "going green" but today I learned how green neighborhoods are judged, about insulation, cooling, flooring, carpeting, energy star efficiency, VOC free flooring glues, and lot of other details that go into making a home green.    Without further ado let me introduce you to Tryon Villas.
