Over 40 Years of Building the American Dream

Green Built^TM & Energy Star^® Performance

Whether your motivation for choosing a Green home is for your children's future, increasing energy prices, reliance on foreign oil or global warming, the decision to build a Green home that is energy efficient is in the minds of over 87% of Americans. It makes good sense, too, as a Green home not only uses less energy, less water and natural resources but is simply a better built home. A Green home creates less waste and is healthier and safer for the people living inside compared to a standard home. Seeing the Green Built^TM logo on a home means it has met or exceeded a tough, national standard for quality. See the Green Built^TM Michigan web site at: www.greenbuiltmichigan.org

In addition, Eastbrook builds all of their homes and condominiums to ENERGY STAR^® performance guidelines. This commitment to using energy efficient products helps our homeowners save energy, money, and helps to protect the environment for future generations. Energy efficiency reduces monthly out-of-pocket expenses and also reduces pollution levels. Eastbrook Homes is a leading Michigan builder in ENERGY STAR^® homes.
