Magnolia Court consists of 52 units, including 6 studio, 35 one-bedroom, and 11 two-bedroom homes on a 1.4 acre parcel.  The epitome of smart growth, Magnolia Court is anticipated to receive LEED Platinum Certification, as the project exceeds Title 24 energy code standards by more than 20%!  Magnolia Court achieved stellar energy efficiency through the use of ENERGY STAR lighting and appliances, a solar PV System, material-efficient framing and environmentally-preferable products such as low-lead paint and building components that were extracted, processed, or manufactured in the area.  Magnolia Court will be rented to those 55 years of age and older who earn 30 to 60 percent of the area median income.
