If you're looking for a place to live in Perth, Australia, OneFive Hamilton Hill is the one for you.
That's because it's one of the most water- and energy-efficient residential developments in the country, per a press release from the Urban Development Institute of Australia.
And that's not all: The development also features public open space, as well as "quality public open space that prioritises canopy cover, biodiversity, and connection to remnant bushland in response to a drying climate," per the release.
