The importance of building community and conserving water

Jeremy Sharpe, a managing partner for Rancho Serrida, emphasizes the significance of community-building and water conservation. By encouraging people to spend more time outside, meet neighbors, and utilize shared spaces like parks, Sharpe aims to reduce water usage and the need for lush yards. Rancho Serrida, a housing development in Arizona, restricts front-yard grass but allows it in backyards. The development focuses on providing amenities and green spaces throughout neighborhoods to fulfill residents' needs. Sharpe believes that Arizona developers must prioritize sustainable growth and water management to continue flourishing.
