Even if you’ve seen Leyden Rock, the master planned community in west Arvada, you probably haven’t seen anything that uses the dramatic terrain and views to be found there to the effect that D.R. Horton does in three exceptionally elegant models. Each one shows the kind of outdoor living spaces that can be created around these panoramas of foothill ridges and downtown city lights, along with impressive options for finished walkout basement levels on all three.
“People are coming here for the views, and they tell me that we really stand out against other models they see here,” says D.R. Horton’s Darla Vaughn. She can also show you a handful of homes that are set to deliver between now and early spring. As the Denver area market gains speed, Vaughn is seeing buyers now who have waited years to move up; and although D.R. Horton’s prices start in the high $400s – many buyers are opting for the larger plans with the basement finish. That’s exactly what you’ll see in the ‘Chamonix’ ranch – 2,699 square feet of finished space on the main level, plus another 2,474 finished down – potential for five bedrooms plus a main-level study, set against a spectacular great room that opens to the kitchen and dining areas. All of the areas, including the ones on the lower level, take advantage of the view from here. If you like the looks of that ranch, Vaughn can show you another version that’s ready for move-in now, including a 3-car garage, a full finished basement, and a full-yard landscape. It’s specially priced this week at $750,000: In tune with the market, D.R. Horton has a number of homes under way for what’s anticipated to be a strong spring market – and if you contract on a quick move-in, you can take advantage of Red Tag Event savings. Leyden Rock has the added draw of three well-rated schools including Ralston Valley High, 10-for-10 stars at GreatSchools.org. The community currently plans approximately 17 miles of trails and 400 acres of open space, and can have you into upscale shopping and dining at Flatiron Crossing off U.S. 36 in around ten minutes – something that, Vaughn says, is attracting numbers of relocating buyers from Level 3, Sierra Nevada Corp., and other employers along the U.S. 36 corridor and Boulder. To reach Leyden Rock from I-70, take Ward Rd. north 2 mi. to 64th; west 1.5 miles to Indiana, head north two miles to W. 80th (Leyden Road), and head west a mile to Leyden Rock Drive. Or if you’re coming from Flatiron Crossing or U.S. 36, take Interlocken south from 36 to CO 128, right to Indiana, and head south to W. 80th. D.R. Horton has other homes available for quick move-in in many of their 27 communities from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs. At Sunwest North, 1009 Sumner Way in Erie, you’ll find a 3-bedroom-plus-main-floor study home, 1,916 square foot home plus full unfinished basement — for a total square footage of 2,849, plus 2.5-car garage, fireplace, open kitchen, large patio, air-conditioning and landscaping included.
