Smart. Green. Living.

Lakewood Homes has a great new page on our website...Smart-Green-Living.

The "green movement" has become mainstream. What’s more, it’s become essential. Rising energy prices have made this clear. Green building isn’t a fad; it’s here to stay. And Lakewood is committed to it. We’re pioneering green techniques to save you money. We build environmentally responsible homes with energy-saving features. Our framing reduces gaps. Our wall and attic insulation provide a tight seal. Our vinyl windows preserve energy. This doesn't just help save the environment. It helps you save thousands of dollars. Below is a list of energy-saving features which are available in your new Lakewood home.

R-13, R-30 and R-38 insulation is used in walls and attics, along with energysealing house wrapping, and insulated basement and garage walls are available to protect against energy loss year round, resulting in significant savings.

In today's economy, it's smart to be concerned about energy consumption as well as a clean, healthy environment. That's why Lakewood is committed to creating homes and communities that represent "smart green living." Lakewood homes are remarkably energy-efficient. Green means respect for the environment and energy-wise technology, but it also means something very basic: Money saved. That's smart.
Lakewood has built more than 15,000 new homes and has planted more than 50,000 new trees. The planting continues, as does the creation of parks and natural areas at every Lakewood community.

In addition to featuring energy-wise construction techniques, Lakewood homes are in communities that benefit from our bringing thousands of new trees into the neighborhood. We also reclaim or create wetland habitats. And we set aside a large percentage of land for open spaces like parks and nature preserves. This is today's American Dream from Lakewood Homes: smart, green living.

Little things can make a big difference. Built-in digital thermostats are available to regulate pre-set day and night temperatures so you can cut energy costs automatically.

The smart green features in a Lakewood home aren’t there to be trendy. They're a natural part of living well. When you live well, you enjoy more than clean air and a community that's rich with trees, parks and gardens. You also live economically. Features built into your home help you save money instead of wasting it. See the back of this page for a list of Lakewood’s "smart green living" features. And be sure to discuss them with your sales representative for more details and money-saving ideas.
