Thornton, CO

Cinebarre's newest location Thornton CO

Cinabarre is a theater that let's moviegoers enjoy food and drinks from a full menu while watching a movie.  Their newest location just opened at 10001 Grant Street at the Thornton Town Center.  The theater has eight movie screens, a beer and wine bar and louge.  Also for Broncos fans, Denver Broncos games are on every weekend.

Signal Creek

The Signal Creek neighborhood in Thornton has newer styled homes with vaulted ceilings, five piece baths, and larger more open designs common to most homes built in the late nineties. Signal Creek is also one of the few communities in Thornton that boasts a community swimming pool. The community features curvilinear street planning with many cul-de-sac streets so through traffic is kept to a minimum.

The community is located south of 136th avenue and north of 128th avenue between Colorado blvd and York street. Signal Creek is also close to Eastlake Shores Park and the Thorncreek Golf Course. Thorncreek is an 18-hole, par 72 course that is open to the public every day of the week. The course features a pro shop, driving range, restaurant and putting greens.

The Multi-use Holly Sports Complex at 136th Ave and Holly Street in Thornton Colorado

The new Sports Complex at 136th and Holly in Thornton Colorado (approved by the city of Thornton in 2007) is under construction this summer.  I attended some of the city meetings for this complex and am happy to see them putting in both Soccer and Football fields.  At a later date it looks like additional parking lot landscaping, lighting, additional fields and possiby even a skate park are possible at this site.

Indirectly all citizens of Thornton will benefit from this project as the city becomes better known for balanced master planning and quality of life.  But the neighborhoods close by like Marshall Lake, Homestead Hills, Northbrook, etc. will find that it is a much easier commute to get your kids to soccer and football games now that local teams don't have to drive down to the fields at 112th.

Fallbrook Farms Thornton Colorado

Location and General Info:

The Fallbrook Farms Community is located off 144th Avenue between York Street and Colorado Boulevard. Fallbrook Farms provides easy access to the Denver, Broomfield, and Boulder employment centers along I-25 and Highway 36. This new Fallbrook Farms neighborhood features over 32 acres of parks, open space and trails. The community is conveniently located near major highways, shopping including the regional Flat Irons Mall, The Orchard, Larkridge, and the Thornton Rec. Center.  Children will attend the highly sought after Adams 12 5-Star School District with the elementary and middle school within walking distance. In addition, a future light rail development within the Fallbrook Farms Community will allow for convenient trips to downtown Denver.

Fallbrook Farms homes for sale are from Beazer, Meritage and Ryland. The Fallbrook Farms neighborhoods are made up of Single family homes and Patio style homes.

Recent developments:

Beazer Homes:

Recently, Beazer homes has announced their exit from the Colorado Marketplace.  At this time we are not sure exactly what will happen to the lots that Beazer had available to build at Fallbrook.

Light Rail:

With the costs of Diesel Fuel having increased dramatically over the last two years, the Metro rail authority is reviewing its decision to use Diesel powered trains and instead may opt for Electric powered for the north light rail line that is supposed to run right by Fallbrook Farms.  In our opinion this is a big plus for the community and Diesel does not increase the nearby home values.

The Orchard Town Center:

The Orchard Town Center at 144th and I-25 is coming along nicely.  Rock Bottom Brewery, Woodlands Grill, Happy Sumo Restaurant, and the Mexico Cantina Y Cochina are now open.  We were at the Rock Bottom last Saturday early evening before doing a little shopping at Macy's and the overall atmosphere is like a mini Pearl Street Mall in Boulder.  Very cool!
