Inspirada’s Pinecrest Academy gets new principal

-

ly enjoyed the proximity of their kids’ school from their front doors,” said Deanna Konrad, community manager for Inspirada. “Principal O’Dowd has successful­ly held principal positions for nearly 20 years, making his leadership vital in the ongoing developmen­t and investment in our children’s education. We are also already hearing a lot of enthusiasm from residents and builders because four additional school sites within Inspirada are planned for the coming years.”

Inspirada also will sponsor a garden at Liberty High School, which is zoned for residents. Through a partnershi­p between the school and Green Our Planet, a nonprofit conservati­on organizati­on, volunteers from Inspirada’s builders and the associatio­n showcased their green thumbs when they installed and planted soil into garden beds alongside fellow students on Aug. 26. Over the school year, volunteers and select students will attend monthly garden team meetings to track the progress of their plants and ultimately will learn about the economic impact and how to benefit financiall­y from the fruits of their labor.

“This is such a unique and interactiv­e way to engage students with Mother Nature and our team members are looking forward to getting their hands dirty, all for a great cause,” said Jim Rizzi, project manager for Inspirada. “The program aims to create positive impact in environmen­tal education and change within schools, and we are honored to be a part of this initiative.”

In addition to its 85-acre system of parks, trails and open spaces, Inspirada is the gateway to Sloan Canyon National Recreation Area that includes more than 1,700 petroglyph­s.

There are more than 66 model homes ready to tour in 17 new Inspirada neighborho­ods featuring one-, two- and three-story single-family homes and townhomes designed for every lifestyle and ranging in price from the high $100,000s to $500,000s. The builders of Inspirada include Beazer Homes, Century Communitie­s, KB Home, Pardee Homes and Toll Brothers.

With a projected build-out of 8,500 homes, Inspirada is home to more than 2,500 residents who have access to programs and activities managed by a full-time staff that creates social calendars to bring neighbors together in the parks and the Inspirada Community Center.
