At Home Apartments is committed to providing a quality living experience for our residents while promoting an eco-friendly environment by increasing energy efficiency at all of our communities. We believe that it is our collective responsibility to preserve our planet through conservation of our natural resources.

In 2016 we took a bold step into solar thermal systems. A 148kW solar project was installed at CityVue Apartments in Eagan. (See video below.) The addition to the parking ramp roof was the largest investment in renewable energy at any multi-family housing site in Minnesota. We’ve installed more than 526kW on the roofs of garages and buildings at the price of over $1.6 million.

One At Home green living initiative we are transitioning toward is smoke-free living. We offer smoke-free apartments at most of our communities with the desire to make your living experience more enjoyable. We cannot guarantee the availability at this time; simply inquire with leasing agents at the community you are interested in. Or look for the smoke-free icon on the amenities for a specific community here.

Transportation and housing are the top two sources of CO2 emissions. Our industry is ripe with opportunity to play an important role in reducing emissions. This is why our urban properties are located near transportation hubs. And because we own our buildings, when replacing building materials we look for environmentally friendly and energy efficient upgrades like thermal paned windows and insulated white membrane roofs for maximum seasonal efficiency.
