Life's better when you slow down.

You feel the gentle curve of worn cobblestones underfoot. You hear the sound of water cascading over the edge of a splashing fountain. You see a single leaf, caught in a breeze, tumbling past like a butterfly in flight. You smell fresh-baked bread wafting through the air. And, as you sit at a small table in Piazza Villebois, you take the first taste of your morning cappuccino. You lower the steaming mug, wiping away the froth mustache and grin as a dear friend approaches to say hello. Moments like this, when the planet seems to spin more slowly, are found everywhere in the new, 500-acre community of Villebois.

Walking through any of the three neighborhoods in this award-winning, European-inspired community, you’ll notice how the variety of architectural styles all flow seamlessly together. Turning a corner, you may see a towering tree, dappling the sunlight. You may see a flowering vine, draping over the side of a stone wall. You may see a family, toting a picnic basket, heading off to enjoy the community’s 160 acres of open space and parks. Or maybe you’ll see a commuter making the walk to the WES commuter station, attaché in hand, face tilted up to the morning sun.

And you’ll realize, Villebois feels like a village. This has been designed to be a place where neighbors quickly become friends, where every walk brings a new discovery, and where life is best enjoyed, when you slow down.
