At master-planned Reunion today, Shea Homes and Richmond American Homes will give you taste of life in a master-planned community, one that your kids are going to savor even more than you. Today is the 2015 Kite & Flight Festival at Reunion’s 52-acre neighborhood park – with radio-controlled aircraft flights and a Museum of Nature and Science ‘Rocket Works’ demo, plus live raptors, lots of games and crafts, and free kites while they last.
And whether you’re in a rental now, or in a dated home that’s no longer meeting your needs, at Reunion you’ll discover ways to take flight from your old place, and get into a community that works better for your family in terms of schools, recreation, commuting and shopping. “We’re seeing lots of buyers who are tired of paying rent – particularly first-time buyers looking for something they can own, and grow into,” says Travis McCarthy, who will show you Shea Homes’ SPACES collection models today at Reunion – from as low as the mid-$200s. They have size and wide-open styling that leave apartment life far behind — under high ceilings, with Euro-styled kitchens that include big center islands, stainless appliances, and wood-styled laminate floors. Nearby, you’ll tour Richmond American’s models, priced from the mid-$300s and ranging from 2,200 to 2,950 square feet, up to six bedrooms – showing options for sunrooms, finished basements, 3-car garage; and standard features that include granite kitchen countertops, maple cabinets, hardwood kitchen floors and more. At a time when both builders see buyers who have been frustrated by the resale market, Reunion has something else that’s a rare commodity – a choice selection of homes that can deliver this year; such as a Shea SPACES Plan 3006, three bedrooms, 2-½ baths, over 2,000 square feet plus two-car garage; priced at only $339,735; and a Daniels ranch by Richmond American, three bedrooms and two baths plus 2-car attached garage, set for move-in before the holidays, $436,000. The models are all close to the Festival, showing off the park with its huge lake and pool/rec center with water slide. You’ll see the new King Soopers Marketplace that’s come to Reunion, and a commuter location that McCarthy says works great for homeowners that commute downtown – better still for people whose work world is centered at DIA, or fast growing commercial areas close by. “Reunion is giving people a whole new way of looking at the Northeast metro area,” he adds. The Kite & Flight Festival launches noon today and runs to 3 p.m. In addition to Museum of Nature and Science’s rocket demo, kids get a Jackman Brothers and the Critter meet-and-greet; run in parachute races; see dog performances by Colorado Disc Dogs; and get refreshments. Free kites go to the first 500 kids, aged 13 and under. To reach, exit DIA/Peña Blvd at Tower, head north to 104th, then west to Reunion Pkwy; or from U.S. 85 take 104th east to Reunion Pkwy. At Reunion Pkwy turn north, around the lake.
