VIDA home builders understand the concern, and have created great incentives valued from $30,000–$60,000 that include mortgage rate buy-downs, closing cost credits and more to make it easy to purchase your VIDA home now. Contact any of the VIDA builders to learn about incentives that can help make this the right time for you to live VIDA.
Parks & Trails
Ana Park, the first of many parks in VIDA should be completed by the end of the year. The pavilion is complete and the playground and open play lawn will be ready for VIDA families as they begin to move into the community.
Adding to the list of things to enjoy at VIDA, plans for the clubhouse and pool are being finalized with a goal to begin construction in early 2023. VIDA’s clubhouse will include a furnished clubroom, expansive pool, game and homework rooms, catering kitchen and more.
VIDA is also adding more ways for you to get active. By the end of the year, roads and sidewalks will be paved in phase 2 of VIDA and new trails and features will be added in early 2023.

At VIDA, healthy living includes easy access to wellness, healthcare, and beyond. Planning is now underway for the University Health Division of Public Health building, doctor’s offices, and a 140-bed community hospital.
