Life is just better here.
Following the natural existing topography, our vision is one of creating a unique, sustainable community that respects and relates to the land itself. Unique to Selah, land use encompasses the full range from the most natural and rural to extremely urban, all while preserving roughly 50% of green space. This a stark comparison to the more conventional development of national home builders with a typical proposed 15% open space plan.
Dream it.
Selah started with the vision of the Adkins family, owners of Adkins & Adkins Land Development in Goldsby, OK. This design carries that vision forward and will allow Selah to grow into an amazing walkable sustainable place that enriches the lives for the people who live or visit there. This process will take a generation to fully develop and this plan allows Selah to adapt to what the future holds while retaining the core vision and a clear strong direction forward.
Build it.
With sustainability as a key point in the project vision, the development of Phase 1 began in late 2020 and is planned to go through 2022. Visitors can now enjoy Pryor’s Pizza Kitchen as well as the Offices at Selah soon offering SIP Coffee and Wine Bar. Estate Home lots within the Entry District are now available to secure as well as Sweetwater Village, East Ridge and Vineyard Estates, and the Parkview Series Tower Homes.
Connect with it.
Connect to the land, connect to each other. Why wait for a vacation to start living your best life? Selah offers sustainable living, good food, and beautiful spaces. This means more outdoor time, family time, porch time, and play time! It’s the community of tomorrow today.
What is New Urbanism?
In recent times, the appeal of New Urbanism living has surged, offering an array of advantages that significantly elevate the quality of life. At its core, New Urbanism fosters a sense of community by design, promoting social interactions and tight-knit connections among residents.
One of the standout features is the encouragement of walkability. These neighborhoods seamlessly integrate amenities, green spaces, and public transit, urging residents to adopt a more active lifestyle. This not only benefits physical health but also contributes to a reduced environmental impact.
A key principle is the integration of mixed-use spaces, combining residential, commercial, and recreational areas. This not only enhances convenience but also supports local businesses, contributing to a dynamic and flourishing local economy.
Sustainability is a cornerstone, with a focus on eco-friendly practices such as energy-efficient buildings and green infrastructure. The compact design minimizes urban sprawl, preserving natural spaces and reducing the ecological footprint.
Commute times are significantly reduced, as New Urbanism envisions neighborhoods where residents can live and work in close proximity. This not only allows for more personal time but also alleviates traffic congestion and decreases air pollution.
Cultural enrichment is another priority, with easy access to educational institutions, art galleries, and entertainment venues. This fosters intellectual and cultural growth within the community.
Property values often see an uptick in New Urbanism communities. The allure of well-designed, vibrant neighborhoods attracts homebuyers who value the community-centric lifestyle and diverse amenities, positively impacting property investments.
In essence, New Urbanism living goes beyond physical layouts, prioritizing community, sustainability, and a rich array of amenities. As more communities adopt these principles, the potential for positive societal transformation becomes increasingly apparent.
