The Story of The Village
A new way of living. A guaranteed future—together.
Our Why
We started The Village with a simple belief: women deserve a safe, welcoming place to live—and a clear path to own it.
Not someday. Not “after 65.” Now.
A women-owned, women-led community where belonging comes first, costs make sense, and your future is secure.
The Moment It Clicked
We kept hearing the same heart-truth from women everywhere:
“I’m strong and independent, but I don’t want to do life alone. I want a beautiful place that’s mine—and a community that feels like family.”
So we built a model that blends community + affordability + ownership. The Village is the result.
What The Village Is
The Village is the community: safe, supportive, and women-centered.
Your bondnest is your home inside the Village: a cozy, modern, customizable tiny home designed to keep payments low and freedom high.
The Pathway helps you get there: coaching, smart money moves, community connections—and, when you’re ready, keys in hand.
Women-Owned. Women-Led.
From governance to day-to-day operations, The Village is run by women for women. Safety is non-negotiable. Belonging is built in. Your voice matters in decisions that shape our shared life.
What Makes The Village Different

A Day in the Village (Imagine This)
Morning sun on your porch. Coffee with a neighbor before a walk around the green.
An afternoon workshop in the community home.
Evening potluck in the courtyard—laughter, music, women cheering each other on.
Then you step back into your own bondnest—quiet, beautiful, yours.

The Heart Behind bondnests
We named them bondnests because they’re more than structures—they’re nests for bonds. They’re your private sanctuary inside a larger circle of care. Customized finishes, smart layouts, low monthly costs—freedom you can feel every time you open your front door.

What happens if I don’t qualify for a mortgage?
Not every woman is ready on day one—that’s why we offer support through workshops, financial guidance, and community events. If you’re not mortgage-ready yet, your tier helps you build the skills, savings, and confidence to get there.
Are the fees refundable?
No. All entry and annual fees are nonrefundable. These fees cover your access to workshops, events, financial tools, and your place in The Village at Polk City community, whether or not you move forward with a bondnest.
How much does a bondnest cost?
bondnests range from $70,000 to $190,000 and can be customized. We’ve designed pricing to make homeownership accessible, flexible, and empowering.
Is there an HOA fee?
Yes. Each bondnest is part of a larger Village community. The HOA fee is estimated at around $35/month and covers shared amenities, community upkeep, and lifestyle perks.
How does the monthly mortgage payment work?
Your bondnest is designed for a mortgage payment at or below 30% of your income, keeping housing affordable and freeing up money for travel, wellness, and living life on your terms. Payments are made directly to our lending partners once you’ve been approved.
What’s the timeline from application to moving in?
Most Elite Rise members will complete their Pathway to Homeownership in 12–24 months, depending on credit, savings, and personal readiness. Once you qualify, you’ll be matched with available bondnests as they are built. Elite Max and Elite Legacy Members are not required to complete the Pathway to Homeownership.
What income and credit requirements do I need?
There are no income or credit requirements to enroll. However, when it’s time to build your bondnest, you’ll need to qualify with a lender or pay in full. While exact requirements vary by lender, most aim for a credit score of 680+ and sufficient savings for a down payment or closing costs. We’ll guide you along the way so you feel confident and prepared.
