Itap hard to imagine a more auspicious site for luxury semi-custom homes than what Sheffield Homes will show you this weekend—at the heart of whatap become an epicenter of new infrastructure thatap arrived near the interchange of I-25 and C470/E470 in North Westminster.
Well before the real estate boom thatap followed on the heels of the virus pandemic, Broomfield and Westminster had created exceptionally attractive neighborhoods here like Huntington Trails, McKay Shores, and Broadlands, all now experiencing very competitive markets for resales. The area has The Orchard Town Center and Denver Premium Outlets within a mile, as well as new hospitals, alluring lakeside parks and trails, and lots of dining options.
Sheffield is just starting its home site preparation for Carr Estates, an infill site north of W. 144th Avenue at Lipan Street—but already the phones are ringing off the hook. Four lots for homes in the low $1 million range are already under contract—one of them to a couple that had just made a losing bid for a resale home in Huntington Trails, south across the avenue.
“We’ll even do a full-blown custom home for you,” says Jason Gordon, President/Owner of Sheffield Homes, with a 43-year dossier of creative neighborhoods in Arvada and in areas of Westminster and Broomfield close to this site, including Broadlands, Cheyenne Ridge, and Westcliff.
The early interest in this is largely from families that already live in the area around Huntington Trails, says Gordon, and that want to stay in the area. But he’s surprised by the calls coming from out-of-state, by people who have done their Google research and are specifically looking at the commuter advantages here—twenty minutes into downtown, and just a tad longer either to DIA or to Boulder.
Sheffield is right at home in the luxury semi-custom market thatap attracting so much demand right now. It has roared through 21 sites at The Estates at Gage Hill, an Arvada infill project up the hill from The Arvada Center, where it was priced in the $700s-to-$900s range. At Carr Estates, with lots averaging a quarter to a third-acre and in pricier surroundings, Gordon and his team will offer more expansive plans, including luxury ranch designs with possibilities for full-wide 3-car and even 4-car garages.
Visit Sheffield’s website—SheffieldHomes.com—to learn more; and you can plan to schedule a personalized site visit where you’ll see how close the community is to parks, trails, and shopping. Initial lot prices run from $203,000 to $266,000; and you can already see specific plans for homes, as a starting point to your own ideas.
Based on the activity these are already drawing, they won’t last long, says Gordon.
