Although the Village in Burns Harbor has earned certification through NAHB for its land-use pattern, individual homes will need to be certified separately.

The Village in Burns Harbor, a mixed-used development on Lake Michigan in Indiana, has earned certification for land use through the National Association of Homebuilders’ (NAHB) National Green Building Program. The 60-acre (24 ha) development, when completed, will contain 265 single-family, semi-detached, and multifamily homes as well as a walkable town center and park space.

It is this dense, walkable land-use pattern that has earned the development its certification through NAHB; individual homes must be certified separately. Of the 60 homes built so far, two have been certified through the National Green Building Program. More information is available at www.villageinburnsharbor.com
