Brookfield Homes has, through the years, garnered a strong reputation for their livable, well-constructed properties that cater to homeowners who insist upon quality. With their new Rockrose at The Foothills community located in Carlsbad, California, Brookfield Homes is pushing this reputation to new heights, through a program of environmentally-conscious resource conservation and consumer-focused planning that has shaped this community from the ground up.
Rockrose’s one- and two-story homes—which exceed California’s already high energy efficiency standards by 35 percent—are stocked with features that maximize comfort and luxury, while minimizing the environmental impact and resource usage of the home. Aggressive energy and water preservation at this eco-savvy development has made it the leader in new home conservation in San Diego county, and is saving homeowners over $1200 a year on their energy bills.
With houses—starting in the low $600,000s—that range in size from 2,116 to 3,167 square feet, and offer 3-4 bedrooms and 2-4.5 baths, Rockrose is also accommodating the requirements of today’s active households, with homes designed to maximize room and minimize noise. Optional dens and bedrooms provide exceptional floor plan flexibility, and allow homebuyers to create a layout that suits both their needs and their desires.
The Foothills also includes a comprehensive recreation center for all of the community’s residents. This resort-style complex is the perfect place to relax and enjoy yourself while having ample opportunity to socialize with your fellow neighbors. The recreation center includes a luxurious pool, paddle tennis courts, walking trails, picnic areas, and even a place to practice yoga. Staying true to the eco-friendly mission of Brookfield Homes, this spa-like facility makes use of solar panel heating and energy-conscious lighting, rounding out residential and recreational needs in a socially and financially responsible way.
The Education Garden is a new concept by Brookfield. The Education Garden is located at the Rockrose New Home Model Complex, is an educational resource featuring three drought-tolerant concepts for beautiful back yard landscaping in Southern California. 70 percent of the vegetation featured here do not need supplemental watering, once established. Almost all of the plants showcased are extremely low water intensive. The Education Garden is open for self-guided tours.
