Creating spaces that truly benefit residents involves thoughtful material choices. That's why we use decomposed granite and pavers instead of asphalt, ensuring cooler temperatures and a better neighborhood experience.

Culdesac regularly hosts resident events such as fitness classes, weekend bike rides, and grill nights in the pod courtyards. These events provide opportunities for residents to interact, develop friendships with one another, and build a sense of belonging.
