Back yards. Side yards. Patios. \u00c2 What does your outdoor space look like? \u00c2 How do you use it?<\/p>\n

Now and again we have buyers that really want a back yard. \u00c2 As a homeowner, and an owner of a SummerHill townhome, I understand the allure of a back yard. \u00c2 It is a place that you can hang out, yet I know that for us (my husband and me), our two little balconies in Belmont are just right for both of us to maintain because we both work.<\/p>\n

\"Bistro
We like to enjoy a meal on the balcony during the summer and this little bistro table is just perfect! \u00c2 Plus a few decorative plants for ambiance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve maximized our outdoor space as you can see in the photos. \u00c2 I like to garden and have found that container gardening suits me just fine. \u00c2 We’re looking forward to tomatoes and meyer lemons from our garden.<\/p>\n

\n

\"This
Our side balcony - check out the tomato plant in the left corner and a meyer lemon tree in the right corner plus a couple of chairs to sit back and enjoy evening sun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are benefits and compromises with every home style – it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all about determining what works for your family. There are ways that you can redefine outdoor space that you have to fit your lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Have a side yard? Think about adding a quiet bench for reading and some containers for plants, a patio or deck<\/p>\n

Have a patio? \u00c2 Add some containers and plant your very own herb garden. \u00c2 Nothing takes better in home cooking than a bit of fresh parsley or thyme, and they are very easy to grow.<\/p>\n

Have a back yard with a long path next to the house? \u00c2  Think about a small putting green with faux grass to practice golf. \u00c2 And, work with a landscaper<\/a> to plan eco-friendly garden solutions.<\/p>\n

Now you may be wondering why all new homes don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have the same outdoor features? \u00c2  Our land and development team (the SummerHill folks that plan out the communities) work closely with teams in each city to ensure that we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re meeting the specific city development plans, including density. \u00c2  Density is the amount of units that will fit per acre on a site. \u00c2 This may mean that lots are smaller or townhomes or condos are built to be able to meet the density plans that the City envisions for the project.<\/p>\n

How do you use your outdoor space? \u00c2  Are you already a SummerHill homeowner or a fan of SummerHill? \u00c2  Share some photos of how you use your outdoor space on our Facebook page<\/a> or write us a comment below.<\/p>\n

We look forward to hearing from you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
