Getting to Know Cottages On The Greene, Foley

With the population growing each year, it's not a surprise why a lot of people are having a hard time finding quiet spaces to move into. While bustling metropolitans only seem to expand, the discovery of tranquil retreats is becoming a milestone all of a sudden. New TikToks, reels, and YouTube shorts are becoming viral for providing audiences with information about serene spots. So, peaceful residential locations like the Cottages On The Green, Foley, lay in wait as more homebuyers spread the word. Until then, here are a couple of things you need to know about the area and the properties within it.

What Are Considered Cottages?

We won’t blame you if your definition of a cottage is where someone might meet Jason from Friday the 13th or a meeting spot to have a brush with romance like in The Notebook. We won’t even blame you for mixing up a cottage and cabin. It’s a common impression, and you’re not completely far off. Cabins and cottages tend to have more natural settings surrounding them. The rustic feel is also a running theme among the two. But that’s where most of the similarities stop.

Cottages are more finished versions of cabins. Architecturally, they often feature gabled rooflines, stone walls, oversized chimneys, brick pathways, and thatched roofs. But definitions are loose these days. Location-wise, cabins are perched along wooded or rural areas. Meanwhile, cottages are usually weaven and developed out of the trees and into the suburbs

The gated Cottages on the Greene is roughly 8 minutes from Central Foley. This quaint neighborhood sits along Country Road 12, where pavements perfectly contrast the greenery from manicured lawns and well-maintained growths from empty lots. Verdant flora decorate the community, giving residents the daily opportunity to reconnect with nature. As an added bonus, you can keep your hands clean because the HOA is in charge of maintaining your lawns, too!

Unique Features And Amenities

Cottages on the Greene, much like other properties on a suburban area, are heavily associated with family-friendly characteristics. This is partly due to the population of these communities which are mainly composed of starting and established families looking to give their kids a safe and stable life. The sense of community primarily drives developers of these localities to establish comunal features.

The Cottages neighborhood has a few of these shared spaces. if you’re interested to move into the area, these are the community amenities you can expect:

Clubhouse

Meeting room

Banquet room

TV room

Fitness area

Resort-style saltwater pool

Walking paths

Interior Design and Comfort

There's a preconceived notion like cottages our old school and vintage by design. However, many are surprised that the interior of these homes have been crafted to look more contemporary and up-to-date with the modern times. It's a pleasant surprise for home hunters who take tours and go on open houses.

You would think that the contrast between the interior and exterior or designs one clash, builders and developers have found a way to blend the rustic charm of a cottage and mix it with present-day appeal, resulting in a timeless property.

Many of the houses in the Cottages on Green, Foley, also come furnished with high quality appliances and premium furniture. These items are set on various configurations. A number of these homes have embraced an open-concept kitchen. So, it’s easy to move around and make the area look bigger. But even without this set-up, the dwellings have anywhere between one to two floors with three to five bedrooms. And that’s enough space to host a large single-family unit.

Navigating the network of roads and cul-de-sacs will eventually lead homebuyers to a selection of custom properties designed by esteemed builders and designers, like Donald Powers Architects, Inc. and Union Studio Architecture & Community Design. These properties have been thoughtfully-constructed with gold-fortification and equipped with security systems. Picking the right house can also give the added bonus of a tank-less how water heater.

Another favorite feature that homebuyers can get are the front porches where neighbors usually stay to watch the sunset. This detail ties the private spaces back into a smooth transition with the community. Locals can share moments together without even leaving their homes. So, residents can have some afternoon tea and even watch the kids run around in the grass. This architectural detail helps families come together, too.

Outdoor Spaces and Surroundings

Cottages On The Greene, Foley, has a quaint allure and a strategic location. This subdivision offers a unique blend of serenity and accessibility.Itsdesirable features extend beyond the homes. Locals have a healthy set of options for places they can visit, including the following:

Scenic Boundaries: James Road meanders along the western frontier of the neighborhood, while County Road 12 South gracefully delineates the southern border, framing this picturesque community. You can take a walk along these areas or have a quick rest and soak the environment.

Gastronomic Delights: Just a short travel northward along James Road, you’ll reach food favorites like the Brick Oven. Delectable aromas and flavorful dishes await, tickling your taste buds while you munch.

Golfing Paradise: Golfers can get a quick game in at the nearby Gulf Links Golf Center. It’s a mere 1.8 miles west of the subdivision. Players can tee off against a backdrop of pristine fairways, perfecting their swing while enjoying the view.

RV Retreat: Embark on a southbound journey along Brinks Willis Road and James Road. Within minutes, you'll arrive at the Bella Terra RV Resort. Visitors can immerse in the beauty of nature while indulging in the included amenities, creating memories to last a lifetime.

I've become an abstract painting person this year and now I've started a collection of paintings that all look like the depths of the ocean. This would be classy if I was not equally obsessed with cheesy beach decor that has little painted boats and tells you how nice it is to live by the beach (correct)

#miss her all the time :/#(the ocean)#nona was right #me buying any new item: hm but do they have this in blue #the ocean where i lived wasn't even blue. it was slate grey at best #sometimes a brown/green hazel color or deep navy in the distance #gulf coast water isn't as aesthetically pleasing in photos but when you're there it's like a real ocean like not fake candy colored waves #it's like the difference between those photoshopped romance covers and the old hand drawn ones with all the texture

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #16

April 26-May 3 2024

President Biden announced $3 billion to help replace lead pipes in the drinking water system. Millions of Americans get their drinking water through lead pipes, which are toxic, no level of lead exposure is safe. This problem disproportionately affects people of color and low income communities. This first investment of a planned $15 billion will replace 1.7 million lead pipe lines. The Biden Administration plans to replace all lead pipes in the country by the end of the decade.

President Biden canceled the student debt of 317,000 former students of a fraudulent for-profit college system. The Art Institutes was a for-profit system of dozens of schools offering degrees in video-game design and other arts. After years of legal troubles around misleading students and falsifying data the last AI schools closed abruptly without warning in September last year. This adds to the $29 billion in debt for 1.7 borrowers who wee mislead and defrauded by their schools which the Biden Administration has done, and a total debt relief for 4.6 million borrowers so far under Biden.

President Biden expanded two California national monuments protecting thousands of acres of land. The two national monuments are the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument and the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument, which are being expanded by 120,000 acres. The new protections cover lands of cultural and religious importance to a number of California based native communities. This expansion was first proposed by then Senator Kamala Harris in 2018 as part of a wide ranging plan to expand and protect public land in California. This expansion is part of the Administration's goals to protect, conserve, and restore at least 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030.

The Department of Transportation announced new rules that will require car manufacturers to install automatic braking systems in new cars. Starting in 2029 all new cars will be required to have systems to detect pedestrians and automatically apply the breaks in an emergency. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration projects this new rule will save 360 lives every year and prevent at least 24,000 injuries annually.

The IRS announced plans to ramp up audits on the wealthiest Americans. The IRS plans on increasing its audit rate on taxpayers who make over $10 million a year. After decades of Republicans in Congress cutting IRS funding to protect wealthy tax cheats the Biden Administration passed $80 billion for tougher enforcement on the wealthy. The IRS has been able to collect just in one year $500 Million in undisputed but unpaid back taxes from wealthy households, and shows a rise of $31 billion from audits in the 2023 tax year. The IRS also announced its free direct file pilot program was a smashing success. The program allowed tax payers across 12 states to file directly for free with the IRS over the internet. The IRS announced that 140,000 tax payers were able to use it over their target of 100,000, they estimated it saved $5.6 million in tax prep fees, over 90% of users were happy with the webpage and reported it quicker and easier than companies like H&R Block. the IRS plans to bring direct file nationwide next year.

The Department of Interior announced plans for new off shore wind power. The two new sites, off the coast of Oregon and in the Gulf of Maine, would together generate 18 gigawatts of totally clean energy, enough to power 6 million homes.

The Biden Administration announced new rules to finally allow DACA recipients to be covered by Obamacare. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is an Obama era policy that allows people brought to the United States as children without legal status to remain and to legally work. However for years DACA recipients have not been able to get health coverage through the Obamacare Health Care Marketplace. This rule change will bring health coverage to at least 100,000 uninsured people.

The Department of Health and Human Services finalized rules that require LGBTQ+ and Intersex minors in the foster care system be placed in supportive and affirming homes.

The Senate confirmed Georgia Alexakis to a life time federal judgeship in Illinois. This brings the total number of federal judges appointed by President Biden to 194. For the first time in history the majority of a President's nominees to the federal bench have not been white men.

#Thanks Biden #Joe Biden #student loans #loan forgiveness #lead poisoning #clean water #DACA #health care #LGBT rights #queer kids #taxes #tax the rich

Ways NASA Studies the Ocean

We live on a water planet. The ocean covers a huge part of the Earth's surface – earning it the name Blue Marble.

The ocean is one of Earth’s largest ecosystems and helps moderate Earth’s climate. NASA scientists spend a lot of time studying the ocean and how it is changing as Earth’s climate changes.

In the last few years, NASA has launched an array of missions dedicated to studying this precious part of our planet, with more to come. For World Oceans Month, which starts in June, here are new ways NASA studies the ocean.

youtube

1. Seeing the colors of the ocean 🎨

A new NASA mission called PACE will see Earth’s oceans in more color than ever before. The color of the ocean is determined by the interaction of sunlight with substances or particles present in seawater.

Scheduled to launch in 2024, PACE will help scientists assess ocean health by measuring the distribution of phytoplankton, tiny plants and algae that sustain the marine food web. PACE will also continue measuring key atmospheric variables associated with air quality and Earth's climate.

2. Surveying surface water around the globe 💧

The SWOT satellite, launched in late 2022, is studying Earth’s freshwater – from oceans and coasts to rivers, lakes and more – to create the first global survey of Earth’s surface water.

SWOT is able to measure the elevation of water, observing how major bodies of water are changing and detecting ocean features. The data SWOT collects will help scientists assess water resources, track regional sea level changes, monitor changing coastlines, and observe small ocean currents and eddies.

3. Setting sail to understand interactions between the ocean and atmosphere 🚢

With research aircraft, a research ship, and autonomous ocean instruments like gliders, NASA’s S-MODE mission is setting sail to study Earth’s oceans up close. Their goal? To understand ocean whirlpools, eddies and currents.

These swirling ocean features drive the give-and-take of nutrients and energy between the ocean and atmosphere and, ultimately, help shape Earth’s climate.

4. Building ocean satellites the size of a shoebox 📦

NASA’s HawkEye instrument collects ocean color data and captures gorgeous images of Earth from its orbit just over 355 miles (575 kilometers) above Earth’s surface. It’s also aboard a tiny satellite measuring just 10cm x 10 cm x 30 cm – about the size of a shoebox!

5. Designing new missions to study Earth’s oceans! 🌊

NASA is currently designing a new space-based instrument called GLIMR that will help scientists observe and monitor oceans throughout the Gulf of Mexico, the southeastern U.S. coastline and the Amazon River plume that stretches to the Atlantic Ocean. GLIMR will also provide important information about oil spills, harmful algae blooms, water quality and more to local agencies.

6. Taking the ocean to new heights ⬆️

The U.S.-European Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite is helping researchers measure the height of the ocean - a key component in understanding how Earth’s climate is changing.

This mission, which launched in 2020, has a serious job to do. It’s not only helping meteorologists improve their weather forecasts, but it’s helping researchers understand how climate change is changing Earth’s coastlines in real time.
