Green at North Hills

G.E.M. Vehicles

Pedestrians can give their feet a break after a long day of shopping in Midtown by taking a free ride on ecological, emissions-free, electric G.E.M. vehicles to any destination at North Hills. These vehicles are weatherproof, hold up to five passengers, and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Electric Charging Stations

Electric vehicles can be charged in just a few short hours—North Hills offers level-2 charging stations which use a 240-volt circuit instead of a standard 120-volt home outlet, and are capable of providing ten to twenty additional miles of electric range per hour of charging.

Solar Power

Partnering with Baker Renewable Energy, North Hills utilizes rooftop solar panels for renewable energy. These systems soak up clean, solar energy and generate power for a range of services—including heating the beautiful saltwater swimming pool at Park & Market Apartments. The power yielded from our rooftop panels can be viewed from our online dashboard.

Pedestrian Friendly

Adjacent to the Raleigh greenway, bike trail system and is interconnected to neighborhood and city sidewalks, North Hills residents can save energy by walking or biking to work.
