In-fill Building & Custom Homes

Questions about Pura Vida Homes construction

In-fill building means constructing new homes on vacant or underutilized lots within established neighborhoods. This approach allows you to live in sought-after areas like Crestview, Allandale, or Tarrytown with a brand-new, custom-designed home. Benefits include proximity to downtown, mature trees, established infrastructure, and appreciation potential in proven neighborhoods.

Typical construction timelines range from 8-12 months depending on the home's complexity, size, and custom features. This includes design development, permitting, and construction. We provide detailed timelines during the planning phase and keep you informed throughout the entire build process.

Our homes feature energy-efficient HVAC systems, high-performance windows, LED lighting, low-VOC materials, proper solar orientation, and optional solar panel installation. We also incorporate water conservation features like rainwater collection systems and drought-resistant landscaping. These features reduce your environmental footprint while lowering utility costs.
