Above and beyond

A home is so much more than four walls and roof. We believe that its inclusions are just as if not more important.

Our homes are packed with inclusions of which many other SDA developers do not even consider. We do this to ensure the people that live in our homes are afforded the best opportunity to achieve their life goals. We believe that simple features such as private bathrooms and personal outdoor spaces are essential inclusions. Our homes average a NatHERS star rating of over 8 stars. This, combined with a solar and battery package, means the cost of heating and cooling in our homes can be more than 70% more affordable than other SDA homes. This leaves more disposable income in your pocket…every year. See below for some of the inclusions Lumen Living applies to every home as standard.
