The Geos Neighborhood combines traditional village living with the most advanced design and building practices. Community members enjoy a pedestrian lifestyle with front porches, tree-lined sidewalks, and access to open space. Advanced building technology and solar orientation reduces energy requirements of buildings by 75%. Thanks to Colorado’s unique climate and fully electric heating and cooling systems, Geos utilizes the sun to produce as much energy as it consumes, with a total costs that are marginally higher than standard homes.
