City life is not for everyone and many families are starting to look outside of traditional urban areas to set down their roots. With large cities expanding ever outwards, the options can be many depending on your preferred lifestyle.

The trend — especially with younger families — is to search for a neighbourhood that can provide them with a healthy and active lifestyle, away from the constant noise and business of a large metropolis. The city has its advantages, but it cannot provide the peace and tranquility of a more rural setting.

New developments, like the one offered by Arden Homes, are rich with opportunities to enjoy nature and outdoor activities. When the developers were designing their new community in Palm Beach County, their focus was on country living with all the outdoor amenities and nature that anyone could ask for.

So many new housing projects don’t take into account the desire of their residents to explore and enjoy their surroundings. This results in concrete, boring, side-by-side dwellings with no appeal or access to exploring nature. Take a look at some of the thoughtful design features of the Arden community that give a nature lover everything that they could desire right outside their front door.

Trail System
Residents can enjoy over 20 miles of beautiful hiking and biking trails. The community backs onto a nature preserve full of wildlife and birds of all varieties. Enjoy lake vistas, shady glens and access from all areas of the neighborhood.

Green Spaces
Nearly every home backs onto a park, greenway or trail. This gives residents the feeling of real space and country living. The lovely landscaping and trees provide plenty of reasons to draw families outdoors in any season.

Community Farm
Residents are invited to enjoy the splendor of a 5-acre farm at the location. Children's activities and adult farming and gardening lessons are held all year. Watch the corn and sunflowers grow from seeds that have been planted by your own hand and enjoy the freshness of farm-to-fork produce.

Pool & Splash Pad
At the hub of the community is an all-access Clubhouse that houses a two-level pool, providing fun for the whole family. Enjoy a quiet day in a private cabana on the upper pool deck or watch the kids play in the fountains and splash area in the lower pool.

Outdoor Fun
The Arden homes surround a mile long pristine lake that can be used for unlimited outdoor activities. Go kayaking, canoeing or fishing at your leisure. The lake is known for its excellent bass fishing and the shoreline is a bird watcher's paradise.
