Eco-Home™ is an on-going living research center that demonstrates ecological living in an urban environment. The Eco-Home™is a restored and retrofitted California style bungalow, circa 1911 that shows us how simple but wise property improvements can make your home warm, friendly yet environmentally sound and healthy. This historic home incorporates solar hot water heating, photovoltaic panels, ultra low flow water systems and other energy and water conservation measures. This "pioneering" home has hosted over 15,000 guests since opening it's doors to the public in 1988.

Whether you are going to see the home for the first time to learn and experience it or you are going for your tenth time to help out and dig your hands into the organic garden as a volunteer, you are welcome to join in our journey "transforming" the "typical" urban sprawl into growing living environments one home at a time . . .
