Villebois is unmatched in its commitment to community.

This commitment starts in the Villebois Village Center, the hub of the neighborhood, where a bustling mix of row homes, loft-style condominiums and retail space will embody the character of a European village.

At the heart of the neighborhood, sits Piazza Villebois – a lively plaza and dedicated community space for area residents to sit and enjoy their morning coffee, spend hours chatting with old friends or while away the afternoon on the bocce ball courts. Piazza Villebois will also be a location for popular events such as live musical entertainment, the Villebois Sunday Market and seasonal festivals.

Additionally, if you’re in the market to invest in commercial real estate in Wilsonville, Oregon, the Villebois Village Center is the prime location. Soon the neighborhood will have its own hot spots, along with commercial Villebois spaces such as offices, retail shops, restaurants, sidewalk cafés and other conveniences.

And while Villebois retail is being completed, you can find incredible places to eat in Portland, which was recently named one of the country’s best restaurant cities by The New York Times. Because Portland is such a short drive or ride away on the WES Commuter Rail, you’re always close to everything you want or need.

Dreyer’s Ice Cream recently hosted its Slow Churned^® Neighborhood Salute ice cream party contest, and the Villebois community in Wilsonville, Ore. was selected as a Grand Prize winner out of neighborhoods across the nation. Earlier this Spring, Villebois residents submitted essays to Dreyer’s, nominating our community and explaining why Villebois should be selected to win

Here are two of the essays that helped the Villebois community win the Slow Churned^® Neighborhood Salute ice cream party contest:

       
“Villebois is a new neighborhood in Wilsonville, Oregon. Just south of Oregon’s largest city, Wilsonville is a small town favored by many commuters. With Portland and its suburbs only 30 minutes north, and the state’s capital city of Salem just 30 minutes south, it’s a great place for couples to raise their children away from the big city but still close to all the activities it has to offer.
       
Villebois is a new, planned community. The layout of the neighborhood promotes get-togethers, social events, clubs, games and outdoor activities of all types. With wide sidewalks, multiple parks and green spaces, it attracts a lot of people who enjoy spending time outdoors. Another feature of Villebois is the many and varied types of people who live here. With large single-family homes, small condominiums and row homes, apartments and medium-sized homes, there are many diverse people of all ages and walks of life who live here. And the best is yet to come. Villebois is a neighborhood under development and a lot of new people move in each month. As a community we are always trying to meet the new neighbors, get to know their family and help introduce them to the fun that can be had in our neighborhood. An ice cream social is a great way to do that and we’d love to have one sponsored by Dreyer’s.
       
Villebois is also the site of the 2008 Fit House, a project sponsored by Cooking Light magazine. This house was designed with fitness in mind, and that’s a perfect match to the lower-calorie slow churned ice cream that Dryer’s is promoting. We are an active neighborhood with lots of kids, dogs, parks, and everyone and everything on wheels. With Oregon’s wet wintery weather we really take advantage of the warm summer months and spend as much time as possible outdoors. We hope you’ll help us do that by awarding us one of the ice cream socials. Thanks for your consideration!”

“I believe the Villebois neighborhood in Wilsonville, Oregon, deserves to be one of the winning communities honored by Dreyer’s in its Slow Churned^® Neighborhood Salute ice cream block party contest.
              
I have never lived in a community quite like Villebois. No other neighborhood in Oregon…let alone the Pacific Northwest…let alone the country has as much heart and genuine community spirit as we do in Villebois.
              
As the largest non-resort master planned community in the state, the 500-acre Villebois neighborhood offers us as residents the opportunity to live, work, play and learn – without ever having to leave the neighborhood. I live and work in Villebois myself and everyday I thank my lucky stars I am able to raise my family in a quiet, safe community like Villebois. My wife and I love living far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city of Portland, yet close enough if we ever want to drive into the city to take in a Blazers basketball game or a concert.
              
Villebois is family-friendly, and my kids can attest to that. Every week, we have a ritual of “park hopping” between the various play areas and green spaces that are tucked in pockets throughout the Villebois neighborhood. There are 160 acres of parks and open space in the Villebois community, and my family and I have scoured every last inch.
              
A mixed-use development, Villebois is also host to a Village Center, which will soon be filled with condominiums, a boutique hotel, shops, a specialty grocery store, cafés and restaurants. This will only complement our community’s current energy and European village flair.
              
Villebois residents love to get together as a community. From garage sales and potlucks to 4th of July parades, Easter egg hunts and other holiday events, the community is always gathering together for some activity. The weekly Villebois Sunday Market also brings the Villebois community together each week.
              
At Villebois, we believe that life’s better when you slow down. That’s why I believe that Villebois deserves to be one of Dreyer’s winning neighborhoods for the Slow Churned^® Neighborhood Salute.”

We are getting closer and closer every day to establishing a permanent presence in the Villebois Village Center. Just yesterday we submitted the final requirements needed by the City of Wilsonville to place the Villebois Village Center Information Center. It will be adjacent to the central piazza and across the street from Miraval at Villebois’ leasing office and recreation center.

We estimate that we will be on site and have all of the information that you would need to make sure that the Villebois Village Center is in fact the place that you would want to call home by the end of July 2008.

We are also in the process of finalizing all of our standard features and additional options and upgrades that will be available for both the Seville Rowhomes and Carvahlo Condominiums. Shortly thereafter we will finalize the pricing for each of the homes.

Once these tasks have been completed and we have received all of the necessary approvals from the City of Wilsonville we will be ready to offer our first housing release to the public.

We currently have over 600 potential buyers that have expressed interest in homeownership in the Village Center. In the next month I will begin to offer potential buyers the opportunity to be placed on a priority waiting list for our first release as well as all future releases.

If you have interest in being placed on our priority release list please e-mail me at Blog@CostaPacific.com .

The first building that is currently under construction will include 8 residential Row Homes. The Seville Rowhomes will range from approximately 2,000 square feet to 2,300 square feet. These homes will offer a prime location to the Village Center. The Villebois Village Center will be a bustling village center with rowhomes, loft-style condominiums, urban apartments, shops and restaurants. At the heart of the village center, there will be Piazza Villebois – an inviting plaza that will be surrounded by residences, restaurants, shops and sidewalk cafes, giving it an intimate, Old World feel. Architecture in the village center complements the design of Villebois’ homes, as reflected by these conceptual designs of the first rowhomes planned for the Village Center: The Seville Rows.

Stay tuned as excited events unfold on a regular basis.
