Who knew the heat would continue into September? Fortunately, San Diego is a few degrees cooler than its inland neighbors. And when you own a coastally located home that’s designed to be eco-friendly, you can enjoy even cooler indoor temperatures.

Need an example? How about the Carlsbad new homes of Rockrose at the Foothills, where you can feel good about running your air conditioning, because your home was designed to be 35% more energy efficient than the state standard. The homes at Rockrose at the Foothills have been called the most energy-efficient new homes in Carlsbad, and many believe they take the top spot for energy efficiency in the entire San Diego region.

Fortunately, eco-friendliness isn’t the only thing owners of these Carlsbad new homes can feel good about. There is also a low tax rate of 1.21%, based on the median sales price of $659,900 for the homes (the tax rate will increase or decrease based upon the actual sales price of the purchase). No matter what price you pay for your home, the tax rate is bound to be lower than expected.
