If you’ve been waiting for a chance to get out of a 20- or 30-year-old home in Thornton or Northglenn, Oakwood Homes has something to show you today at Belle Creek, the ‘new urban’ village it took over from another builder in Henderson, three miles east of Colorado Boulevard on 104th. Like the big new-urban master plans in Denver, Belle Creek has a decidedly small-town atmosphere, a K-8 charter school, parks and trails…even a small grocery you can walk to.
And right now, Oakwood’s homes designed especially for Belle Creek’s “Mayberry” style streetscape, run from $103 to $120-per-square-foot, way below single-family prices in those famous destinations down south. Come today (Oakwood’s Dwayne Montoya has free pizza, noon to 2) and you’ll find prices as low as $179,900; from $210,000 for one home on track to deliver this fall.
That’s an ‘Iris’ 3-bedroom with 2-1/2 baths, over 1,300 feet, plus basement and 2-car garage. It has small-town architecture with a prominent covered porch that’ll blend seamlessly with Belle Creek’s sites, clustered around town-square pocket parks. Oakwood has designed some (like the Iris) with front-load garages, and others rear-load, for sites with alley garages like you see in Stapleton and Lowry.
Don’t count on finding that price later this fall when Oakwood’s first Belle Creek models are finished. “This is a smart choice for someone who wants the best pricing,” says Mike Tinlin, sales manager. He showed me a video-touch tour you can play with, with virtuals of the interiors on all six plans. “People tell us that we really understand the market; that they notice a huge difference between our designs and the homes the see from other builders,” he adds.
That includes coffered ceilings; arches; ‘grotto-style’ kitchens with big islands and natural light from an arched window; and a high-performance energy package – way beyond what your 1980s house delivers. You’ll meet Alma Salazar from Oakwood’s Homebuyer Club, an expert in helping you qualify, timing the sale of your old place, or in buying your first home.
You’ll also see a menu of options that Oakwood can include free with your home. You get 24,000 credits with any Belle Creek purchase: 4,000 credits adds granite tile to the kitchen, 8,000 earns backyard landscaping, 10,000 a spa bath-with seamless glass-door shower and rain head, and so on. Oakwood’s pre-sale center is on Belle Creek Boulevard in <A href= Henderson, just west of Hwy 85 at 104th. From I-25 or I-270, take I-76 north 5 miles, angle left on 85, then left on 104th.
