Arvada’s super-popular Leyden Rock, with 17 miles of trails planned and its first community park open now, is already seeing typical prices climb through the $400s, into the $500s and $600s – but Lennar Homes has a batch of designs on track to deliver by Thanksgiving at well below that – one you can tour today from just $389,900.
That’s for a Sonoma 3-bedroom plan, 1,833 square feet finished plus full basement and 2-car garage, ready next month. The pricing on this and other homes Lennar is readying for the holidays, is unlikely to make it to next year – a chance to save money during a season when people have plenty to do other than home hunting, says Paul Bursey, who’ll be at Leyden Rock today with Cindy Ditallo to greet you. “That’s probably the lowest priced new single-family home in Leyden Rock,” Bursey adds. He and Ditallo can also show you numbers of ranch plans – including a Graham 3-bedroom ranch that’s on a premium site facing that new park, with a walkout basement included — $459,900. Buy that or any other Lennar home that can close before Thanksgiving and you can save $7,500 on your closing costs, provided you use UAMC Mortgage for your financing. Lennar’s pretty neighborhoods around the park are filling with families anxious for the top-rated schools including Ralston Valley High – but also with buyers who are downsizing, wanting single level living close to recreation and outdoor living opportunities, says Lennar regional sales manager Don Rhine. That profile works well with Lennar’s NextGen concept of home design – including a separate unit with its own kitchenette that can work for when Mom moves in with the kids and grandkids (you can tour a model of one, and see a NextGen ranch that’s at the special pricing, ready right away, at $474,900). Many buyers come from Arvada, wanting to stay inside their coveted city limits – but Rhine and Bursey say they’re now seeing a surge of buyers who are arriving from Boulder and from the U.S. 36 Interlocken corridor, with Ball Aerospace, Level 3 and other employers within EASY commuter reach of here. “Boulder buyers are really looking at this now,” Bursey adds – citing outrageous prices that Boulder city resales command for far less space than this. Buyers also get ‘Everything’s Included’ features – things practically any buyer would want like a full basement, fireplace, slab granite kitchen countertops, stainless appliances, hardwood kitchen-nook floors, air conditioning — included standard. You can tour the park and see 400 acres of designated open space. Lennar’s models are west of Indiana on W. 80th (Leyden Road); from I-70 take Ward to W. 64th; head west to Indiana, then north two miles to 80th and west, then left on W. 84th. Or from Boulder, take 93 to Leyden Road and east two miles.
