Renaissance Ridge is being developed as a unique and special intergenerational housing community made up of custom cottages and homes. The community will offer a diversity of housing options, certified energy-efficient homes, renewable solar and geothermal energy systems, smart technology, sustainable design, native landscaping, open green spaces and walking trails to help connect the Nellysford community.
“I would like to live and support the community that I have worked for over the past 14 years. In addition to my love of the people in the community, I also would have a strong desire to live and thrive in the luscious scenery that is Nelson.”
“One of the reasons that I would like to live closer to work is that I can better get to know the community in which I work. Also, I would have more energy to perform extra-curricular activities for the school.”
