Golf Community only a short drive east of Denver

I live in a golf community just 20 miles east of Denver. When this community was started in 2000 it was hopping. Why, cheap gas prices, and the homes featured at least 1 acre each, all for around $300,000-$400,000.

Okay, while that may seem like a lot of money, the reality is that you could not touch 1 acre of land in the Denver metro area for much less than $1M.

Since moving there, we have seen gas prices surege to around $4.00 per gallon, before declining with the housing market. Many people have been laid off, this area is relatively close to DIA, where most of the residents work, and the airlines have taken a huge hit also.

But now, the Denver market is picking up! Yah! But what about our little community? It is still slow going. I was speaking with my neighbor the other day, who was wondering how much longer it would be before the market again turned toward Bennett? Happily, I replied, take a look around, the market is turning upward. Yes, the home prices are sluggish, but the number of homes on the market is low compared to 2 years ago, and yes, they are even starting new construction again! Whohoo!

Right now, if you are looking for a golf community, in a small town, with a 1 acre or more lot, this is the place. Prices for existing homes are hovering in the high $200k, but the new construction homes are priced in the high $300k.

It's a safe place to raise your kids! And businesses are booming here. Within the past 1 1/2 year, we have opened a Rec Center (currently building an indoor pool), a King Sooper, Subway, Cost Cutters, and they are starting to break ground on a McDonalds. Yes, we have all the big names!

Plus, this great Golf Community features its own restaurant/sports bar! Upstairs of the restaurant is elegant dining, and downstairs you can order pizza, wings, burgers and sandwiches. What more can you ask!

This fabulous community is called Antelope Hills in Bennett, CO. Whether you are ready to move now, or looking to build your own customized home, it's worth taking a look. Who knows, this may be exactly what you are looking for.
