But what makes Paseo Verde even more environmentally friendly is that it\u2019s located within walking distance from SEPTA&#8217;s Temple University Regional Rail station, which is one of the busiest in the country. This means that residents can reduce costs (and even change their lifestyle) by letting go of their cars and using the train to get to their jobs in the suburbs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jonathan Rose Companies is one of the developers behind Via Verde, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.multihousingnews.com\/cities\/new-york\/via-verde-affordable-housing-in-the-bronx-wins-uli-award-workforce-housing-model-of-excellence\/1004069140.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">LEED Gold certified green housing community that opened in August 2012<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Image credits to\u00a0Jeffrey Totaro\u00a0via Paseo Verde Facebook page<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the city&rsquo;s much-anticipated &ldquo;green&rdquo; housing projects officially opened last week at the corner of  9th and Berks Streets in the Temple University area, shortly after it was featured on the GreenBuild 2013 tour roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":258,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21742,1494],"tags":[1815],"class_list":["post-1004088489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest","category-philadelphia","tag-national"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
