In my last article, I wrote about the things a buyer or seller should consider when purchasing or listing a “green” home. Although that was six months back, going green is never far from my mind. Although the green renovations on my home are moving slowly (okay, realistically, they are on hold indefinitely… we’ll chalk that up to two small children and life in general) I still have the opportunity to view many of Lethbridge’s finest green homes in the course of my career as a REALTOR®. I thought I would take this opportunity to tell you about a few of my favorites:

Although not for sale, The Living Home, located at 609 SunRidge Crescent West serves a very unique purpose. This Green Built home is an environmentally sustainable house, designed, in part, through research done by Lethbridge College students in the Engineering Design and Drafting Technology program. The Living Home is a project that has been student based from the beginning of the conceptual stage and has involved more than 200 students. Students will continue to collect data, perform research and analyze the research over the next year. The home is also open to the public for viewing Tuesday through Thursday from 4:00 to 7:00 PM and on weekends from 1:00 to 5:00 PM.       

My last pick doesn’t necessarily fall under the Built Green category, but the “green” proceeds generated from its sale will benefit a very worthy cause. In conjunction with Flip4Food Initiative, this beautiful home located at 228 Riverpark Blvd. West was built with charitable intentions. All net proceeds from the sale of the home will go to the Interfaith Food Bank Society of Lethbridge. And whether you believe in living green or not, it’s just a great cause!
