 EMERALD HOLLOW ESTATES
Emerald Hollow Estates is a two-phase community building initiative.
The neighborhood consists of 73 townhome-style homes, each with
living spaces of 1,100 to 1,600 square feet. At its completion,
Emerald Hollow will boast seven acres of open space with the possibilities
of walking trails and a community center.
Located in Upper Bucks County in Trumbauersville and Milford
Township, the project is recognized as one of the biggest and
most innovative mixed-income Habitat projects in the Northeast
region. |

While previous building projects by Habitat Bucks have been very
meaningful, they have only been a bandage on the challenge of
providing decent, affordable housing in Bucks County. Skyrocketing
costs of land force more and more people to move away or continue
living in substandard housing. Simply put, the demand for affordable
homes for a broader socio-economic group of people is not being
met by the current conventional housing options.
The Emerald Hollow model succeeds in providing decent, affordable
homes for a wider range of families, eliminating out-dated misconceptions
of affordable housing developments, building a diverse community
with a village concept and maintaining a larger percentage of
open space via cluster housing.
