More new construction homes are coming to Madison, with two large subdivisions in the works for the far west side. Both neighborhoods will be developed by Veridian Homes: 

• Midpoint Meadows will include 148 lots for single family homes, and 96 lots for two-family, side-by-side duplexes.
• Hill Valley will be much larger in scale, with approximately 1,500 housing units planned for a walkable neighborhood with an extensive network of parks and green space. 

We'll have more info to share as both of these neighborhoods take shape. In the meantime, check out our guide to 60 emerging neighborhoods in Dane County, and reach out anytime you have questions about buying or building a new home. We'd love to assist you.

Imagine a new wave of modern condominiums that are thoughtfully planned and constructed in environmentally sustainable ways that enhance the character of the downtown area. Condos that open up the pedestrian-friendly and bike-friendly lifestyle to a whole new population of people. Where walking to the park, biking around the lake, walking to the Farmers Market, and walking to a locally-owned coffee shop or restaurant are all a part of daily living. 

Now imagine what more condos would do for our tax base and the small business owners in the area. And how a new wave of condominiums would relieve some of the intense pressure on our local housing market and slow the pace of sprawl.
