Healthy Homes & Living Guide

Sure: We all love to play outside in the spring in this beautiful central Texas weather. Step back inside, however, and our interior spaces may need a little extra help to maintain that active lifestyle. This Healthy Homes & Living Guide provides a few local companies that offer services which can inspire that same active way of life within your home. From peaceful landscapes to lap pools to custom homes constructed with superior, eco-friendly building materials, consider these local companies when in the market to update your living space.

John Crowe, Keller Williams
(512) 636-0100 | john@crowehomes.com | www.CroweHomes.com

During his nine year career in residential real estate, John has helped buyers, sellers and investors achieve their real estate goals. He is a licensed broker and associate with Keller Williams, with a focus on the Austin “crescent” – central Austin real estate and the Northwest and Southwest communities. John serves on the leadership team of Keller Williams' #1 office and is a master instructor. His connection to real estate isn't limited to the buying and selling kind, as he is an avid supporter of Austin's Green Corn Project – an organization with a mission to create gardens for low-income, elderly and disabled communities. He and his wife make a fierce team in the Austin-original Urban Assault Ride and John spends most weekday mornings sweating through Camp Gladiator workouts.

Tips for the Healthy Living Home Buyer:
1) Neighborhood hubs: Austin neighborhoods are trending towards centralized communities, with local shops and restaurants growing up in areas easily accessed by walking, running or biking. A great way to meet neighbors, get some exercise.

2) Outdoor living: More than a hammock strung in the yard, it's a place to congregate, celebrate with family and friends, to meditate or a terrific way to enjoy a beautiful Austin afternoon. Consider simple gardens (healthy food, great exercise), smart landscaping, outdoor kitchens.

3) Home gym: Fitness doesn’t require lots of space nor expensive equipment. If budget and room allow, go for it. Otherwise, carve out as little as a few feet for a yoga mat and dumbbells. Utilize outdoor living space (ie deck) or a room with great light.

If you are considering selling or buying a home or building a portfolio, please get in touch with John at john@crowehomes.com or (512) 636-0100.
