JT Brackenridge Homes
The new JT Brackenridge Affordable green Subdivision occupies a portion of the former Alazan-Apache Courts complete with some streets named after former residents. The 9.3-acre site is bounded by Brazos Street to the west, Colorado Street to the east, Apache Creek to the south and JT Brackenridge Elementary School (SAISD) to the north. The subdivision should be complete by Spring 2009. The price for the three-bedroom, 2-bath houses range from $95,000 to $99,500. All of the homes in the subdivision (59) when completed will meet the Level 1 criteria for green designation. Each house will be equipped with low-flow plumbing, energy-efficient windows and insulation, carbon monoxide detectors, and low-energy light bulbs. The design will decrease overall energy consumption by 25 to 40 percent per house per year. The low-flow toilets alone will save each household about 11, 000 gallons of water per year. Additionally, all the landscaping includes plants approved by the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) as xeriscape-friendly. In addition to building several of the 59 homes, AGA is also heavily involved with the homebuyers. AGA offers homebuyer’s classes as well as one-on-one pre- and post-purchase counseling (See information on this page for Homebuyer’s Classes). If you are interested in becoming a first-time homebuyer please contact Marta Alaquinez or the AGA Office at (210) 223-3151.
