Eco-Friendly Features of Charter Oak Properties
Charter Oak Communities has made sustainability a core focus in our development. Many properties include energy-efficient appliances, LED lighting, insulated windows, and improved HVAC systems.
Additionally, select properties feature community gardens that encourage resident involvement in growing food locally. We continue to explore additional enhancements to reduce environmental impact further.
