Net Zero homes continue momentum in North Shore

The North Shore of Chattanooga remains a highly sought after place to live, work and play. As the communities there continue to grow, so do the trends of Net Zero homes and many are starting from the ground up, according to local realtor and specialist Grace Frank with the Grace Frank Group of Real Estate Partners.

“We currently have 7-14 new homes coming up in North Shore,” Frank shared, adding that her team is working with Goodwin Southern Properties, the builder and developer of the newest Net Zero houses, who is using Green Spaces to consult on the projects.

Frank also added that these types of homes and communities offer buyers incredible benefits, excellent appreciation, significant reduction in utility bills, and more sustainable features just to name a few.

“Families can also expect better design features to reduce allergies,” Frank said.

When asked to describe the homes using a word or phrase, Frank said it’s “the new generation of construction,” due to the quality work and improved lifestyles that they create not just for the families that live there, but the area and community as a whole.

“The Net Zero project by Green Spaces was a demonstration project to encourage and demonstrate that you could build extremely energy efficient homes at normal construction costs, yet create a better product,” Frank explained. “Goodwin Southern Properties is taking this experience and the knowledge of Green Spaces to create 14 additional Net Zero Homes in the community.”

Also, if buyers are looking to customize and give their own personal touch to a Net Zero home, Frank said there are many lots to select from that can be tailored along with the help of designer Jenn Smith, of Goodwin Southern Properties.

An open house event is set at the current Green Spaces construction site for Sunday, Feb. 11 from 2-4 p.m. on the Grace Frank Group Sweet Heart Tour to show the Net Zero features to potential buyers.
