Our goal for Cottage Lane at Oak Park is to build homes, not simply houses. A house is a collection of building materials that provides basic shelter and a place to keep your stuff. A true home contributes to the well-being and happiness of those who live within it.
A house becomes a home when it is both Smart and Beautiful. These criteria have been applied to buildings for centuries (though they were perhaps forgotten in the most recent housing mania).
A Smart home protects your family's health and its pocketbook, delivering the comfort you need in a perfectly sized package. A Beautiful home has the ultimate "you know it when you see it" quality, revolving around invaluable but hard-to-describe qualities such as attention to detail, symmetry and proportion.
In seeking to build homes that are Smart and Beautiful, Bellevue is inspired by Richmond's great older neighborhoods as well as the immensely well-crafted homes already built at Oak Park. Learn more about our plans to emulate these great examples here.
