Why would five homebuyers snap-up cool ‘SPACES’ collection homes at Reunion during the normally-icy real estate month of November? “It’s because they can finally get them,” says Scott Beaumont, who’ll be on hand today with Erin Tripp to show you Shea Homes’ four SPACES models. “Loads of people love the models, but this is the first time we’ve completed enough that you could really pick your choice.”

You’ll see those today…including a handful that could actually close by Dec. 15th, making for a ‘cool Yule’ in a very contemporary pad with Jetsons architecture, expanses of laminate hardwood, a Euro-style kitchen in chrome and stainless, sexy splash-bath with dual showerheads; not to mention a 40-inch flat screen, part of the package. more »

When Kelsie and Levi Rose first laid eyes on Belle Creek after touring new homes in Thornton, it looked to the couple a little like ‘Pleasantville.’ Now, after three years there, “We love it,” Kelsie said, holding new baby daughter Brecken. “It’s the perfect place to raise a family.” She pointed to Belle Creek’s own K-8 charter school, a few blocks from a grand opening by Oakwood Homes that could land your family in pleasant surroundings for $179,500.

Rachel and Jeff LePera will have been married exactly two years when they close on their 3,100-sq.-ft. home in Stapleton this week. They filled those months looking at 20 houses in Wash Park and other trendy areas, while Jeff’s Realtor-dad Rick LePera viewed another 80.

“It was a no brainer,” said Rachel LePera, who stopped by the new ‘Carmel’ model in Balboa at Stapleton, that’s become Infinity Home Collection’s fastest selling home. During their home search, the couple made a can’t-do-without checklist: great kitchen, usable outdoor space, finished basement for entertaining, and room for her baby grand piano. She had something else that she shares with many other younger buyers gravitating toward new-urban neighborhoods: a taste for modern, contemporary styling with wide open living spaces. more »
