Northwind and Rockford Woods are two of Cincinnati's newest green communities. Located in Northside, these communities showcase homes that are both afforable and energy efficient. Potterhill, a Milford based builder, will be showing some of the homes in this year's Citirama, taking place June 3-14.
These Energy Star rated homes feature high efficiency furnaces, geothermal pumps, cellulose insulation and Low-e windows. The location and lot size also play a huge role in the green appeal of these homes. Not only are the lots smaller than average, they are also located near many amenities and public transit options. This "new urbanist" approach to building helps conserve both energy and existing natural areas.
Another great aspect of the homes is the LEED incentive that Potterhill is offering. If a homeowner chooses to have their new home LEED certified, they will receive an extra five years of property tax abatement on their homes. This is on top of the ten years of abatement that Potterhill already offers. All of this is available in homes that are all priced under $200,000
