Unique new homes in Arizona, Leading the Way in Energy Efficiency

Centex has twenty different subdivisions currently building new homes in Arizona. We are focusing here on the Preserve at Cibola Vista development. There are seven different floor plans here.

There are a few interesting design features with these Peoria new homes. Those of us looking to do our part for the environment will be glad to know that these homes are part of the Arizona Public Service (APS) Energy Star Homes® Program. This is a program backed by the federal government that helps protect the environment through energy efficiency. Whether you are concerned about the environment or not, this means lower utility bills. Everyone likes that.

Clicking here to view the features of the APS Energy Star Homes® Program will open another window which will take you to the APS website.

(Take special note of the average monthly utility bill estimates - 3,500 square foot home with a $160 monthly utility bill...nice!) I have personally lived in two different new homes in Arizona and I have never had electric bills that low, and our first home was only 1,500 square feet.

Some of the highlights of the actual features in the homes are:

- Rinnai® tankless water heaters (50% more efficient)

- Alpine® Low-E Windows (most thermally efficient glass on the market)

- Solar Board® radiant barrier roof decking (reduce heat gain in the attic)

- Lennox® high energy efficient 14 SEER refrigerated systems (An Energy Star® system can save up to 60% on your cooling bills.)

- R-38 ceiling insulation in attic and above living areas

- Therma Tru® six-panel fiberglass entry doors

- Lennox® natural gas furnaces

Those are the highlights, but they also reuse some building materials, re-plant plant life disturbed during the building process, xeriscaping (almost a necessity for new homes in Arizona), and Centex also uses locally installed and produced materials whenever possible.

Now on to the particulars of these Peoria AZ homes

View from the street

There are currently about 60 lots left out of the original 131 for sale. Centex is currently offering up to $60,000 in incentives depending on which home you buy, plus $10,000 towards loan fees, but you will have to use their lender. Also these incentives could change at any moment. The builders reserve the right to change the incentives any time they want.

I'm going to break the 7 different homes out onto their own pages so that you can view the floor plans and pictures a little easier than trying to cram them all on this page. If you click a link that does not have a model at the development, the link will take you to an interactive floor plan at Centex's web site.
