Residents at the new Water Garden Village community in northwest Raleigh can breathe easy on the entire 11-acre property. According to WRAL<\/em><\/a>, the recently opened 100 percent smoke-free apartment complex has been successful, leasing within nearly a month of opening.<\/p>\n

Located at 8441 Mount Valley Lane, the 60-unit community has been developed by nonprofit DHIC. The newspaper reports that the property\u2019s non-smoking policy extends beyond apartment walls and includes the fitness center, the clubhouse, the playground and even the laundry facilities.<\/p>\n

“We were concerned that it might even limit our ability to rent the apartments,” DHIC President Gregg Warren said with regard to the smoking restriction.<\/p>\n

The popularity of such communities marks the beginning of the smoke-free rental housing trend, experts say. Clearly, the smoke-free living option takes healthy housing one step further, bringing tranquility to residents trying to avoid second-hand smoke. On the other hand, the benefits for landlords involve significant savings in clean-up costs of vacant units.<\/p>\n

The Water Garden Village is among the first smoke-free apartment complexes in the Triangle. A similar community called the Wilmont, which opened two years ago, is also in high demand. Still under construction, the property is located in north Raleigh on Hillsborough Street.<\/p>\n

In other news, M\/I Homes Inc. is currently building new residences in 15 Triangle communities, including Raleigh, Cary, Durham and Holly Springs. The Triangle Business Journal<\/a><\/em> reports that the developer has recently added three projects to its regional portfolio: Briar Chapel in Chapel Hill, Traditions at Heritage in Wake Forest, and Wilder\u2019s Woods at Flower\u2019s Plantation in Clayton.<\/p>\n

The company is building single-family homes, as well as townhomes, with prices ranging from about $150,000 to $600,000. With the disposition of 317 residences, M\/I Homes\u2019 Raleigh division registered its best sales year in the Triangle throughout 2012. The office opened in 1988 and is led by Ed Kristensen.<\/p>\n
