Edge City

got a land tour of the future walkable town of Esmeralda and learned of the infinite details that go into planning a village.

much of it is inspired by the founder Devon's childhood summers in Chautauqua, NY and recently built communities like Las Catalinas, Serenbe, and Seabrook (now on my list to research / visit).

This is very interesting! The land looks beautiful. Tell me more. Where can I read about this?

the land is absolutely beautiful, hard to find a backdrop this picturesque. 

esmeralda.org! and also Devon's twitter thread. seems like it's still ~4 years from people living there but lots underway.

I've been quietly working on something for a while, so I'm excited to finally be able to share it with you...

We are creating a new town called Esmeralda!

Our team has an exclusive option on a beautiful piece of land 90 mins north of SF, in California wine country https://t.co/pWCdjS7CI8
