The Oaks is a new neighborhood within the Continuing Care Retirement Community of Rose Villa in Portland, Oregon, and is the Pacific Northwest's first zero-energy senior living neighborhood. Homes are built to Passive House standards and include solar panels, triple-pane windows, and high energy-efficient appliances. 4 two-bedroom, two-bath triplexes are centered around a shared central courtyard that features two native White Oak trees, which serve as the catalyst for the neighborhood's identity. The Oaks was recognized by the National Home Builders Association as one of the Best 55+ Community Designs in Independent Living Communities.
