Are There Any Green Homes in Cedar Park?

Cedar Park TX is a fast growing city which borders on the Northwest edge of Austin. While Austin is renowned for it’s Green Building Program, it’s hard to find a truly green home in it’s neighbor.

There are several green home rating schemes which could be adopted for a Cedar Park home seller:

1. ENERGY STAR program
2. National Association of Homebuilders program
3. LEED
4. Environments For Living

One reason that none of these are being heavily marketed to Cedar Park buyers might be that they aren’t as keen.

Another is that many of the homes in Cedar Park are less than 8 years old, and so the more modern building codes mean that homes are greener by default (thicker insulation, double paned windows, more efficient HVAC).

So the home buyer in Cedar Park gets a more energy efficient home as the home is statistically newer.
