The Holiday neighborhood is a new neighborhood in Boulder, Colorado with a special claim-to-fame: Holiday is a sustainable development.  As discussed in another post, this means that Holiday is designed to be economically, culturally, and environmentally friendly.

Here are some of the amenities Holiday residents can enjoy:

Community garden - Most people won't miss having a yard to landscape, water, and maintain; but for those who do, Holiday offers a community garden.

Pedestrian-friendly walkway - Holiday's mission is to lessen its residents' dependence on cars.  A pedestrian-friendly walkway through the neighborhood provides a scenic place to socialize, and more pleasant method of getting from place to place.

Close proximity to outdoor recreation - Boulder is known worldwide for its network of outdoor walking, jogging, and mountain biking trails.  Holiday puts the best of Boulder practically in your backyard.

Conveniently located retail district - Part convenience and part conservation, Holiday offers its residents easy access to local retailers.  Shopping districts are located near residential areas, allowing residents to free themselves from rising gas prices as much as possible.  Nearby shops include art studios, restaurants, farmers' markets, services, and even outdoor cinemas.

Art community and studios - Holiday also has a thriving community of artists.  With live/work studios and retail shops designed specifically for artists, the neighborhood is permeated with art and culture.

Lower bills - Holiday homes are designed to be affordable for the average homebuyer.  Not only are home prices low, but also the houses are designed to cut utility and water bills nearly in half.  Residents will also be able to save money by buying less gasoline for their cars, thanks to the pedestrian-friendly layout of the neighborhood.

Clear conscience - There's nothing quite like knowing that you get all these convenience, and you are doing something good for the environment.  Holiday homes are designed to be environmentally friendly, from the materials that are used to build them to their low energy requirements.

There's a reason why this neighborhood was named Holiday.  With all of these conveniences within walking distance and the beautiful Boulder scenery all around you, you really will feel like every day is a vacation!
