At Petrides Homes, we believe that you can have luxury and be financially prudent. We make thoughtful choices during the design and construction of our homes to ensure that they deliver value to the homeowners and their successors long after we are gone. Some of the features that make our homes economical include:

• Efficient use of space that makes our floorplans feel comparable to those of houses or apartments that are meaningfully larger
• A contextual design that will enjoy a longer life cycle than a faddish design that will look dated and eligible for demolition in a few decades
• Adaptable spaces to accommodate a family's changing size and needs over time
• Classic materials that will not go out of style, used in construction that is made to last
• High-efficiency air conditioning and heating systems with multiple zones
• Above-code insulation, including between floors, to minimize energy loss
• Landscaping designed with drought-resistant plants, many of them local, to minimize the need for watering
• Easy accessibility by car, train and airplane to maximize use as either a first or second home
• Private water source and septic system when feasible, eliminating municipal bills
