Serenbe, the award-winning biophilic community located just outside of Atlanta, has been selected as the "World's Greatest Biophilic Community" by World's Greatest!, the national television series going behind the scenes to spotlight noteworthy companies, organizations and destinations. The recognition underscores the growing importance of sustainable living and biophilic design in addressing contemporary challenges such as climate change, mental health, and community disconnection.
The Serenbe segment showcases the community's pioneering approach to creating a place where people, nature and community are designed to thrive together. For the feature, the World's Greatest! film crew traveled to Chattahoochee Hills to capture life throughout Serenbe, from its trails, farm and farmers market to its architecture, restaurants, Inn and streetscapes. The segment also features interviews with Serenbe Founder Steve Nygren and COO Garnie Nygren, along with Serenbe residents, exploring the vision behind the community and how its biophilic design connects people to nature through thoughtful land planning, fresh food, wellness, the arts and everyday opportunities to spend time outdoors.
"Serenbe was founded on the belief that development doesn't have to come at the expense of nature and that the two actually enhance one another," said Steve Nygren, Founder of Serenbe. "Being selected as the World's Greatest Biophilic Community is an exciting opportunity to share what we've learned at Serenbe and show a national audience there is a different way to think about how we build communities and live our daily lives."
This national exposure could have significant implications for the real estate and urban planning industries. As more people seek environments that prioritize well-being and environmental stewardship, Serenbe serves as a model for integrating natural systems into daily life. The community of over 800 residents is set among acres of preserved forests and meadows with miles of nature trails that connect homes and restaurants with arts and businesses. Focused on wellbeing, Serenbe offers fresh food, over 300 days of arts and cultural programming, multiple independent shops, a 27-room Inn, a new wellness retreat, four restaurants and a working organic farm. For readers, this recognition may inspire consideration of how their own communities could adopt similar principles, potentially influencing where they choose to live, work, and raise families.
