One of the great things about developing new
communities is the land is transformed from a farm field
into a place where people call home. The land that
was once prairie grass will never be the same! As
developers, we have a moral obligation to be responsible
and prudent in the development process. At NP
Dodge we take this responsibility very seriousl/
Originally there was a small creek running through
Five Fountains. Our vision was to transform the
drainage area into a view corridor through the heart of
the community that included ponds, streams and
fountains. Additionally, we felt that there was a
strong desire among “higher end” home buyers to have a
community that was more open than we find in traditional
neighborhoods here in Omaha. The natural contours
of the land are ideal for the type of development we had
envisioned for Five Fountains. With the help of
Lamp Rynearson and Associates, the design came together
quite nicely.
The excellent access to the West Dodge Expressway is
very attractive to us for this project. The
Expressway is the beginning of your trip to almost
everywhere.
One of the primary considerations in developing a new
community is what price range of home will work best
within that community. In this case it was a
“no-brainer” to have Five Fountains be a “higher end”
community. The amenities and location made it a
natural for such a neighborhood.
We are often asked where do we come up with the names
for new communities. In this case, the name
stemmed from a development in Orlando Florida called
Four Fountains. Also in planning, landscaping, and
even decorating, using odd numbers is more widely
accepted than evens. You may also note that there
are five cul-de-sacs in the neighborhood. But
“Five Cul-de-sacs” just doesn’t have the same ring to
it.
Five Fountains is well on its way to being a great
community. We are honored to make such a great use
of such a nice piece of land. Thanks for you
interest in Five Fountains! We hope you like it as
much as we do!
