Don't Miss the Upcoming Sustainable + Attainable Home Show
Friday, May 25, 2012
The doors to home ownership will be wide open June 8 – 10 during the 2012 Sustainable + Attainable Home Show, a unique showcase where style meets sustainability, and affordable homes keep the dream of home ownership alive in south Louisville.
Presented by The Housing Partnership Inc., a local non-profit focused on affordable housing, and sponsored by LG&E with support from Republic Bank, Sunset Gardens is Louisville’s first affordable and eco-friendly home showcase.
On display will be the interiors of nine houses listed from $100,000 to $150,000 reflecting a variety of architectural styles and floor plans, from charming bungalows to traditional two-story homes.
Admission is free with the donation of a canned good or $5 per person. The homes are part of Sunset Gardens subdivision near South Crums and Greenwell Lanes in Shively. Sunset Gardens is near Crums Lane Elementary School, 3212 S. Crums Lane.
The show runs from 12 noon to 6 p.m. on Friday and Sunday June 8, 10, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday June 9.
Each home is ENERGY STAR® qualified. ENERGY STAR qualified homes are up to 24 percent more efficient than standard homes and offer benefits of lower ownership costs, better performance and greater comfort. In addition to the sponsorship of the home show, LG&E assisted in helping relieve costs of ENERGY STAR qualification of these homes though LG&E and KU’s Energy-Saving New Homes program.
All nine homes in the show have interiors created by local designers with an eye for sustainability in addition to style and beauty. HPI challenged the designers to use at least 30 percent recycled, repurposed or reused materials and to keep their total furnishings under $8,000. Show attendees can vote on their favorite home design and the designer who showed the best use of repurposed materials. Items in the interiors will be available for sale.
Homes will be sold through HPI’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which offers qualified buyers assistance with down payments, closing costs and other subsidies. More information is available at http://www.wearehpi.org/.
We're committed to smart energy use as well as building strong communities. Sunset Gardens will go a long way in achieving both those objectives.
