Have you ever thought of how nice it would be to not have to pay a utility bill ever again? Well, that might be a reality soon for some lucky home-owners in Arvada. Geos Neighborhood will be coming to Arvada soon and it will be the largest net zero community in North America. Net zero communities are communities that use power only from energy it produces through solar, wind and underground geothermal systems on site, ending all dependence on electric and gas provided by utility companies.
This 25 acre development will have 308 homes ranging from 750 square foot cottages to 2,700 square foot multi family homes and priced from the low $200's-$500,000. The upfront cost is a little higher but the energy savings begin to pay off almost immediately. Homes are built to use 75% less energy and have many features to reduce the reliance on gas or electric to heat the home. And it goes beyond just energy saving with edible landscaping, water conscious design, and a true community design for health and well being.
The first lots will be released this week with completion expected in the summer of 2015. This could truly be a revolutionary development and hopefully one that takes off across the country. If you are interested in getting involved and living in a community like this, just let us know. For more information, visit www.discovergeos.com.
