Live Green in Stapleton's Newest Neighborhoods

If you've been looking for green property options in Denver, Stapleton's Conservatory Green & Willow Park East may have just what you're looking for. Located in the newer north side of Stapleton, between the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge and The Shops at Northfield Stapleton, these two neighborhoods make it easy to reduce your carbon footprint by walking to shopping, dining and entertainment. With commuter rail coming to Central Park Blvd in 2016, access to the city and the airport will be easy.

Stapleton builders are now required to meet Energy Star 3.0 Standards, and a few builders in particular are going above and beyond when it comes to green. New Town Builders recently sold out of its ZEN (net zero energy) homes with a HERS rating of 3. New Town recently received the Housing Innovation Challenge Award from the Department of Energy.

Boulder Creek Builders is over 80% sold out if its current phase of popular low maintenance patio homes (upper $400s - $500s) that boast Broan Smart Sense and Insteon Technology for healthier indoor air quality, low-E windows, spray foam sealant and blown in formaldehyde-free insulation for better R-values and average HERS ratings of 48-52.

Stapleton's builders are slated to start releasing new lots in Willow Park East this summer.In addition to pushing the boundaries of green building, this new community will have some interesting features like the Pizza Park, where you can bring your own pizza to the central pizza oven and cook up dinner in the park with your friends and family. Sustainable living is also about connecting people and neighborhoods. It's nice to see this taking place in a new build area!To be notified when these homes become available, contact Heather Truhan at 720-272-9299.
