Old Town Littleton a magnet in any market

An article from The Denver Post, reports that Old Littleton or Old Town Littleton is described as Littleton's downtown shopping district and the antique homes around it. The area has been well-preserved and new developers must jump through a hoops before they can change the appearance of the downtown facade. Bill Hopping, chairman of Littleton's Historic Preservation Board, said the neighborhood's culture evolved from one based on agriculture to its current state, but it took decades to get there. Hopping added, "There are still people today who were here prior to that period of time. That's represented well by Main Street and the historic areas. It's one unifying factor for all of Littleton, that historic area. . . It's one of the best-preserved original Western main streets." According to Brian Lee Burke, a broker from Kenna and Co., the older homes near Main Street are highly sought after by homebuyers, even in the current marketplace. David Simonson, a broker associate with Re/Max's Simonson Team in Highlands Ranch, said Old Littleton represents a housing pocket immune to current market woes.
