For the eco friendly home buyer that is energy conscientious both in an eco friendly home or condo as well as within walking, biking, and desiring city transportation I have just the answer for you. Bet you thought I was writing about something on St. Patrick's Day...a bit early!
Downtown Sacramento is definitely building right. Yes, there is solar power. But there's more...geo thermo heat and cooling where the earths ground water system heats and cools the house. Non toxic products and eco friendly resources have been used as materials in these homes.
Where is all this splendor you ask? Can you believe it's just 6 blocks from our Sacramento Capital, Downtown.
It's true that there are beautiful historic homes surrounding this new project however, the architect, Bob Chase has brought eco friendly together with historic architecture and melded them beautifully.
Contemporary lofts, Craftsman bungalows, cozy cottages, Victorian homes are all splattered together with the feel of Midtown living in Downtown Sacramento
There are 9 contemporary eco friendly homes for sale with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths ranging from 1300 square feet to 1500 square feet with a price tag ranging from $490K to $550K. This is not for the weak of heart. This is for the serious home buyer that wants an eco friendly home within walking distance of Downtown Sacramento, the Capital, restaurants, cafes, art, museums, culture and more.
This weekend everyone was bustling around with excitement over such responsible building for the discerning Sacramento home buyer who wants to live Downtown. It's not cheap but typically nothing with real value is.
Do you think it's time to build more eco friendly? Would you be willing to pay for materials that are better for our environment and for you?

Hi Gena, it looks like Sacramento is ahead of the curve of most cities! That's great for people who are also concerned about spending too much on gas to get around. It would be wonderful to live in this house if you worked downtown and could walk to work! This is a great post!
Linda, isn't great to have green being "in" vs being "extreme?" I'm so excited about living green and learning more and more about it.
You are absolutely right, walking to work and having everything at your fingertips while others fill their tanks at the gas station...what more could you ask for?
Thanks for popping in and contributing. You are always welcome.
Funny thing about the green movement, retail and commercial are leading the charge. Business owners have already figured out that the way of the future is green and the money they'll save down the road (not to mention staying competitive) is worth the initial investment. -Charles
