Build a Village With Us
Looking for a green community? We're building one right here in the Heartland. Imagine Cypress Villages -- a self-sufficient neighborhood with energy-efficient homes nestled among organic gardens, greenhouses, winding paths, an eco-mall and more.
Why Iowa?
Cypress Villages is located in the middle of "Silicorn Valley," a bustling, culturally rich Southeastern Iowa region that's been lauded by Mother Earth News, CNN Money and more for its entrepreneurial spirit and quality of life. Visit and you'll see why!
Let's Get Started!
At Cypress Villages, we're offering ecologically sound, LEED-certified homes at or below market prices. We'll help you every step of the way -- from choosing the perfect floor plan to finding financing, builders and, finally, moving into your new home.
On Monday, June 21, Iowa’s first LEED™ Platinum-certified home will be awarded a certification plaque by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Located at 33 Pecan Street in Cypress Villages, Robert Smistik's new home was over a year in the making. Constructed entirely by local contractors, the two bedroom home had to meet a rigorous checklist of requirements to attain LEED™ Platinum certification.
