Project Overview

Careful thought and planning went into the creation of Georgetown Village.

Georgetown Village The entire layout of the project is specifically designed to promote sustainability. Close to employers in both Carson City and Douglas County Georgetown Village is also connected to employers in South Lake Tahoe by the Kingsbury Shuttle operated by BlueGo.

Instead of facing a street, homes front onto a green way that encourages walking and neighborly interaction. Thoughtful floor plans with green materials, beautifully landscaped exteriors and an upscale community center provide for a tranquil getaway.



walking trailsWalking Trails and Pedestrian Connectivity

Have you ever arrived home from work just to realize that you forgot to pick up a gallon of milk or the dry-cleaning? Georgetown Village offers an extensive network of walking paths. Within minutes of your front door you can walk to a convenience store, the library, the dry-cleaners, the park or a neighbor's home. Georgetown Village was specifically designed to de-emphasize the car and provide maximum pedestrian connectivity.



cafeThe Village Center

As a mixed-use community Georgetown Village provides both residential housing and commercial opportunities. The small village center provides enough commercial space for a coffee shop, dry cleaners, day-care and convenience store. There are live-work units that allow the owner to simply commute down a flight of stairs. In addition to these businesses, Georgetown Village has provided space to the Douglas County Library System to provide an Express library branch. This branch will provide internet access, a limited number of books and a children's section. Community living is what Georgetown Village is all about. After returning home from work if you can walk to the dry-cleaners, library and convenience store there is no reason to use your car.

wheat boardCabinets
WHEAT BOARD INTERIORS - Wheat board is an environmentally sound panel product which is made from wheat chaff with an alternative isocyanate (MDI) binder that uses no formaldehyde, creating an emission free board which far exceeds the industry standards. Wheat Board has numerous advantages; it is more moisture resistant, better screw and nail retention, machinable, ideal surface for paints and laminates, superior strength and stiffness, and not to mention no trees were killed manufacturing it. Wheat board was chosen by Georgetown village due to its minimal environmental impact along with the durability and flexibility it will offer owners as they customize their homes.



floorsFloors
BAMBOO - Highly sustainable and environmentally sound bamboo floor coverings have become the ideal choice for those seeking the beauty of hardwood or laminate flooring without having a detrimental effect on the environment. Bamboo is a rapidly renewable resource, it is a grass not a wood, which can be harvested every 3-5 years. Bamboo is one of the hardest natural materials available for flooring. Not only is bamboo environmentally friendly, it is consumer friendly offering countless colors and styles that will compliment any interior design. Georgetown Village is proud to offer bamboo flooring not only for its environmental advantages but the beauty it will bring to your home.

CARPET - Georgetown Village has chosen Mohawk Everstrand as the carpet of choice. This fine product is made from recycled plastic beverage bottles. P.E.T. used to make these bottles is a higher-grade material than used in traditional P.E.T. carpet. When those discarded bottles are recycled, they can be processed into fibers that are far superior to lower-grade synthetic fibers used in making other brands of carpet yarns. Our fiber families are responsible to the planet we all share, and Mohawk takes that responsibility very seriously. We recycle more than three billion plastic bottles each year – 14,000 every minute - turning each one into gorgeous, eco-friendly EverStrand carpet.
