Greenhaven Development designs and develops its sustainable homes along a spectrum of features and price points. We also assist community leaders with custom-designed developments to meet their own policy goals. At all times we strive to maximize value - balancing price with capability. 

Traditional sustainable homes are a high-end luxury product. Going “off grid” or eliminating your impact footprint can often double the price of a home.

But what if a home design began with only the most essential features yet made it easy to upgrade your home over time?

That is how Greenhaven makes the sustainable attainable. Our more affordable homes have fewer starting features than those that cost more. But even our most economical design can be efficiently upgraded later to match our most capable offerings. 

Greenhaven looks at all the sustainable features a family can derive from their home – shelter, energy, water, and even food. 

The home structure features superior framing and insulation, optimal solar orientation, open but structured layout, and site designs that encourage connection with neighbors.

Energy features include usage monitoring systems, efficient lighting and appliances, and pre-installed pathways for future installation of battery backup and solar power systems.

Water conservation includes low-flow fixtures, usage monitoring, natural capture, and options for more innovative reuse and water generation systems.

Food is provided through edible landscaping with low-maintenance but attractive plants that provide fruits or vegetables year-after-year either by community or individual home.

Taken together, Greenhaven provides homes with exceptional value that are attainable at a variety of incomes. We believe our homes will continue to provide value as the years go by with power bills, water bills, and even grocery bills that become more sustainable too. 

Our homes are designed to make your life better – by making the sustainable more attainable.
