SummerGlen, One of Florida's Emerging Green Retirement Communities

At SummerGlen, we believe that being environmentally-friendly is an investment in our planet. That's why we're proud that we're one of Florida's emerging green retirement communities. Each and every eco-friendly home at SummerGlen meets the Green Home Building Standards put forth by the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB), which means that all homesites are built with energy efficient products, better water and resource conservation methods, and more recycled building materials.

You may think it's expensive to live in an eco-friendly home or be a part of one of the best up-and-coming green retirement communities in the state. However, all of the homes at SummerGlen are affordable, comfortable, and livable - most of all though, purchasing one of these eco-friendly homes is an investment in the earth's future!

Finding the Right Eco-Friendly Home and Community

The NAHB defines a qualifying eco-friendly home as having the following criteria which fall under bronze, silver, and gold categories for points - lot design, preparation, and development; resource efficiency; energy efficiency; water efficiency; indoor environmental quality; operation maintenance and homeowner education; and global impact.¹ Purchasing a retirement home that meets these criteria is not only better for the earth, but better for you and your health as well!

As one of Florida's finest green retirement communities, we strive to adhere to these guidelines closely. We emphasize water conservation, energy conservation, recycling and waste reduction, and environmental quality and safety.

We look forward to helping you find the right fit within our community!
