Daybreaks HOA

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

    Most people know that HOA stands for Home Owners Association, but not every one knows what an HOA means. According to definition an HOA is a legal entity created by a real estate developer for the purpose of developing, managing and selling a development of homes. Daybreak’s association is operated by a board of directors that includes residents of Daybreak. A company by the name of Capital Consultants Management Corporation is responsible for management, you can find out more on their web site.

    Some people are discouraged from purchasing certain properties because the property has an HOA fee, but there can be quite a bit of value and advantage to having an HOA. For example according to their web site, a single family home owner in Daybreak pays only $80 month (which is quite reasonable for an HOA fee). This fee pays for the amenities like the trail systems, parks, and swimming pool. It also pays for the community maintenance and high speed fiber optic internet. These are all services and amenities that a home owner would have to pay for on an individual basis at a much higher expense. HOAs can also help protect property values and most people’s biggest investment, their home. Don’t let an HOA fee scare you away, it’s always a good idea to find out what it pays for first- it may just end up saving you some money.

Daybreak Environmentally Friendly Real Estate, But How?

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

We have all heard that one of the main goals of the Daybreak development was to build an eco-friendly community that has a low environmental impact, but what exactly have they done to achieve this. Driven by an increasingly green consumer market the designers of Daybreak built in to the plan several green ideas such as water conservation, Green space, and walking trails to keep you out of the car. Daybreak has also implemented the use of renewable energy.

Many of Daybreaks buildings are of eco-friendly design. The Daybreak community center received a silver LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental design) certification for several things including recycling, water and energy conservation. Another example is the North Shore Cottage Visitors Center, This building has solar panels installed on the roof and has generated and returned 22 Kilowatts to the grid saving 1,280 dollars.

Water conservation has been achieved by using low flow fixtures in the homes, the installation of native drought tolerant landscapes, and high-tech irrigation systems. To Date the 2,106 homes in daybreak have saved over 41,000 gallons per home for a grand total of 79,759,877 gallons saved.

In an effort to help reduce our carbon foot print the homes built in Daybreak are Energy Star Qualified reducing utility usage while saving money. Let’s not forget the walking trails, at Daybreak they encourage leaving the car in the garage and walking were you need to go. There are already 22 miles of trails and they have plans to include a lot more. These efforts have resulted in a total of 17,011,230 pounds of carbon from entering the atmosphere.

Finally my favorite, green space. When Daybreak is complete it will have over 1,000 acres of green space with 100,000 thousand trees planted. Today over 9,000 trees have gone in and you can find parks all around. Also don’t forget they have an 85 acre lake planed and some of the lake is already finished and ready for fishing and recreation.
