Green Homes of the Week



Stone Ridge: A great green housing option in Fairfield.




If you are looking for a greener alternative for condo living, there is a place for you in Fairfield. Stone Ridge, a condo complex of 70 single level one, two and three bedroom homes, was built with energy efficiency in mind. In fact, this condominium project is Energy Star rated and certified. I know you have seen the emblem on home appliances. The certificates from Energy Star are on each unit’s electrical panel for verification.

Energy Star is a government backed program that offers a whole house approach to energy saving and comfort at home. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has created strict guidelines that homes must meet to be certified. These guidelines serve as the roadmap to building a home that is energy efficient and typically are 20-30% more efficient than standard homes.

Beyond it structural design, its location should be considered when energy savings and ecofriendliness are a factor. It is very close to major shopping and entertainment venues including restaurants, office supplies and clothing stores within walking distance. Saves on gas! It is within walking distance of the future train station on Metro North as well.

The complex also is home to The Ridge Club which is exclusive to the residents. It includes a fully equipped “fitness parlor”, a concierge and a club room that serves continental breakfast and afternoon tea. You don’t even have to leave the property.

There are currently one, two and three bedroom units available and on the market. Click here to see a virtual tour of one of the 3 bedroom units that is on the market.
