“Consumers are looking for more opportunities to be ‘green’ and to have a smaller carbon footprint,” said Lora Heramb, vice president of sales and marketing for Brookfield Homes. “At the sales information center at Rockrose at The Foothills they’ll learn about homes here that have been designed with a focus on energy efficiency, water conservation and many environmentally friendly materials. In addition to floor plan details, they will learn how every Rockrose home will exceed California’s standards for energy efficiency by at least 35 percent.”

The neighborhood is located off Cannon Road, just east of El Camino Real in Carlsbad. The homes are approximately three miles from the ocean.

Ranging from approximately 2,116 to 3,167 square feet, the three floor plans at Rockrose will have three to four bedrooms and two to 4.5 bathrooms. Pricing is anticipated to start in the low $600,000s.
