"Green" Community...
Inside & Out
|
There is nothing like it. Alpena Village has the goal of being a Community ready for today with a continued focus on tomorrow. Residents will experience first-hand the benefits of living in a Community that focuses on Residents first! As part of the focus, Alpena Village offers amenities that save energy and the environment, which in turn provides a financial savings to the Residents.
|
Each Cottage and Willow Condominium will be Energy Star Rated, providing Residents with the assurance that their home has been constructed well beyond the standard building and energy codes that are often "just met" by other communities.
Forward-thinking construction utilizes items such as recycled cellulose insulation, geothermal heating and cooling, energy-heel truss designs, tankless water heaters, high-performance windows, insulated garage doors, compact flourscent lighting, ERV (energy recovery ventilator) for air-exchange, and insulated foundations just to name a few of the attributes that help create an energy efficient home that benefits all. Peace of mind comes in various forms and building "Green" is another way to achieve it. Building "Green" is not only good for the environment, but also for the homeowner for generations to come. |

|
Alpena Village will contain over one-half mile of walking paths. The paths will offer residents a walkable community to assist in maintaining health while reducing vehicle traffic. Pervious concrete will be used to construct the paths, which will allow natural run-off of water as well as prevent water 'puddling' that occurs with traditional imprevious concrete. Naturally, pervious concrete will result in less ice formations, which will be helpful in making the paths much safer during the colder times of the year.
With the property being heavily wooded with pine, cedar and poplar trees, efforts are being made to contain as many existing trees and possible. Once a particular area contains a condominium, additional trees and other vegetation will be planted where appropriate. Natural vegitation will encompass a large portion of the Community.
