Having vastu homes in the US is a great idea, especially those that are near cities.

Planned for North Campus Village After selling all 56 townhomes in the current phase 5 development in North Campus Village, Vastu Partners is now planning a new phase of affordable housing with a wider range of options, from condominiums starting at $74,500 to townhomes with three bedrooms and a basement starting at $179,000. Construction of phase 6, which will lie west of the current North Campus Village, is expected to begin this summer. "Buyers kept asking for larger townhomes, so we produced a plan," said Martin Brett, a partner in the project. "We've already received nine deposits for the 18 units we're planning." The larger townhomes will be 1,500–2,200 square feet, with basement, three bedrooms, and 1.5–3 baths. Similarly, Mr. Brett said another group requested lower-cost homes, so plans were drawn up for condominiums of 650–700 square feet that would start at $74,500, with eight units per building. Each condominium will have a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and dining room. But in keeping with a new trend in the U.S. and other countries, there will also be a communal kitchen and dining room. "It's a trend commonly referred to as 'co-housing,'" said partner Doug Bachar. "It began in Europe a few years ago, and is now becoming popular in the U.S., especially among millennials." In addition to the smaller and larger units, plans include more townhomes similar in size to those currently being built, but starting at the lower price of $99,500. These homes will have 1,150 square feet, two bedrooms, and 1.5 bathrooms. The lower cost is a result of there being five townhomes per building rather than three in the current development. Single-story townhomes are also planned, with three units per building. The price will start at $122,500 for two bedrooms and one bath. "We're trying to create a diverse selection of homes that will meet the needs of a wide array of home-buyers," Mr. Bachar said. "The sizes will range from 650 to 2,200 square feet. We want to have as many options as we can." The homes are actually being sold below cost, thanks to state and local incentives available for affordable housing. Vastu Partners credits Josh Laraby and the Fairfield Economic Development Association for helping with the research and paperwork necessary to qualify for these incentives. Buyers of homes in this new development will also save a large amount of money thanks to a state incentive that allows them to not pay property tax for 10 years after purchasing the home. All of the units are built according to Maharishi Vastu® design, which is said to enhance health and well-being. Phase 6 is expected to take three years to complete.
