To help meet San Diego’s planning challenges, the “City of Villages” concept has been adopted as the City of San Diego’s framework for its General Plan Update.
The City of Villages concept calls for creating walkable, sustainable neighborhoods with a variety of homes, jobs, shopping, dining, open space and transit stops all in close proximity to each other.
As a family-run real estate firm with a passionate drive to improve the San Diego community, Sudberry Properties is uniquely qualified to make the “City of Villages” concept a reality with Quarry Falls.
Sudberry Properties is one of the leading retail and urban community developers in Southern California and the only San Diego real estate firm to be featured in publications of the Congress for the New Urbanism and National Trust for Historic Preservation.
San Diego’s Quality of Life Depends On Creating Homes Close to Jobs
San Diego's high quality of life is based upon the careful balance of economic prosperity, environmental protection, and the availability of homes. If home creation falls behind, those forced to commute will dramatically increase, and home prices will rise too far out of reach for working families.
In the last 25 years, the number of commuters has doubled with our inability to create new centrally located homes at a more than fast enough pace. As a consequence, commuter traffic is clogging our roads and highways, causing congestion for San Diego residents.
To ensure the availability of attainable homes for our children and future residents and reduce the growth of commuter traffic, San Diego needs to use its available land wisely.
The majority of San Diego County’s vacant land is already developed or rightly set aside for environmental protection. Today, less than five percent of the land in the City of San Diego is available for new jobs and homes, and pressure is increasing to build in open areas outside of the city. This lack of space creates a real challenge when it comes to providing entry-level, workforce, and senior homes without impacting our county’s open spaces.
