Healthy &
Energy Efficient
Sutter Homes is committed to offering an energy efficient and healthy home that saves its owners thousands of dollars, protects your health, and lasts much longer than standard homes. Each home has three different rooftop photovoltaic system options, and the homes are being built to obtain the U.S. Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Ready certification. This highly respected certification ensures that the homes attain stringent standards for air quality, energy efficiency, and water efficiency – resulting in the lowest utility bills possible.

Value
Proposition
Buying a Sutter Home at Rosemary Lane is a rare value proposition in today’s housing market. There is the ADU, which could be rented to offset 30% or more of the monthly mortgage payment. There is the investment in energy efficiency and the photovoltaic system – imagine pre-paying your electric bill for the next 30 years. Another feature of Rosemary Lane is that homeowners pay the standard mill levy property tax, because the City maintains the street and utilities – there are no metro district fees or high HOA dues that can add many $1000s in annual property costs in other new home communities. Plus there is more – like tax credits available to buyers in the 2022 Clean Energy Bill (i.e., Inflation Reduction Act)!

- Low Property Taxes
- No Transfer Fees
