March 3, 2022

Orion at Timber Sky is an idealistic new home community in Flagstaff, Arizona that offers expansive views of the night sky. During the day you will be astounded by the panoramic views of the mountains, saturated with pine trees and thoughtfully placed right in the center of nature herself.

A Peaceful Escape

As a registered dark sky community, nothing will beat the quiet and peace found here. Get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and sink into the relaxation that awaits you. Homebuyers from around the globe have been chasing communities like this for years, especially those coming from big cities with an abundance of light pollution that makes stargazing impossible.

What is a Registered Dark Sky Community?

The city of Flagstaff was designated by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) as the world’s first Dark Sky Community back in 2001.¹ The location of this community has no light pollution from significant buildings, billboards, or streetlights. In addition, Flagstaff has been a longtime advocate of outdoor lighting policies. They even enacted the world’s first outdoor lighting ordinance in 1958.

As a planned community, there is still enough lighting to provide security and offer the safety residents desire. The lighting, however, remains low and keeps skyline views unobstructed. Following strict guidelines each year, this Northern Arizona neighborhood delights in the honor this designation provides.
