Small Town Revival
Small towns are experiencing a revival, with the largest number of Americans moving from metro areas for the first time since the 1970s — many in search of a more neighborly feel. Now, one community is being built with that ethos in mind.
Culture of Kindness
In Hesperia, CA — a town of 100,744 residents, about 80 miles from Los Angeles — a new planned community called Silverwood is being created with a focus on fostering a culture of kindness.
Inspiration for Silverwood
The concept for Silverwood was inspired by Ohanian’s friend Tom Tait, the former mayor of Anaheim, who ran on a platform of creating a culture of kindness in the city. Silverwood is designed to offer residents a neighborly environment.
Silverwood Surroundings
The development will include social gathering spaces as well as homes. Silverwood will also be centered on walkability. With the Pacific Crest Trail on its southern boundary, and with the stunning backdrop of the mountains, it made sense to draw residents outdoors.
Initial Phase of Homes
The first release of houses will include 646 homes in a wide range of sizes and floor plans — each equipped with solar panels. Model home construction should begin later this fall. Sales are scheduled to begin in early 2025, and there will originally be 20 floor plans from four building partners to choose from.
Meet a Homebuyer-to-be
One of those people is Savannah Routh, who currently lives in Adelanto, CA, with her husband and her in-laws. "I’m looking forward to the stability and long-term investment of owning a home with my husband," she says. "We would love to be one of the first residents to call Silverwood home."
Conclusion
Silverwood is a revolutionary community that is focused on creating a culture of kindness. With its emphasis on walkability, social gathering spaces, and homes equipped with solar panels, this community is poised to offer residents a unique and special living experience.
