What Golf Course Communities in the South Denver Suburbs Have Homes in the $500,000 - $7000,000 Price Range?

Living in a golf course community is something that I am often asked about, I recently had a conversation with a Denver relocation client and he was surprised to learn that there are several golf course communities in the south Denver suburbs to consider that were in their price range.

The video below talks about some and shows you one in Highlands Ranch, CO.

If you like the neighborhood you just saw, here are some homes available for sale: Highlands Ranch Golf Club Homes

There are also homes above $700,000 available in the Highlands Ranch Golf Club neighborhood as well, if you are looking above that price range, this could still be an option.

As I mentioned in the video, the Highlands Ranch Golf Club is just one community that you could consider if you were looking in the $500,000 - $700,000 price range.  Now keep in mind, this doesn't mean you are going to be backing to the fairway with serene mountain views in every location.  But if its just a golf course community in general you are looking for, you have options.

Here are a few more options in the south Denver suburbs:

Red Hawk Ridge - Castle Rock

The Ridge - Castle Pines/Castle Rock

Pradera - Parker

Canterberry - Parker

South Suburban - Centennial

Columbine Country Club - Littleton (generally will be priced a bit higher but there are a few now & then)

Not all of these homes are directly within the golf course community per say in every case, but in the community or very nearby if there is not distinct golf course community boundaries

The Highlands Ranch Golf Club is a beautiful community in the Denver suburbs of Highlands Ranch. Located very conveniently just off C470 and Lucent Blvd, the location provides easy commuting to just about anywhere in the Denver metro area.

There are beautiful homes in the Highlands Ranch Golf Course neighborhood that would be considered luxury real estate, but there is definitely a mix. The single family homes start at roughly $500,000 and up currently but there are also townhome options as well that start around $250,000.

Of course having the golf club wander through your neighborhood is very nice, but there is even more to offer than that. With nearby Redstone Park, you can play tennis, skate board, watch football games at Shea Stadium, softball, batting cages, hang out at the playground, rent a shelter for an outdoor party, fish and even head to the unleashed dog park at Rover's Run.

The very popular Highline Canal Trail also runs through the golf course neighborhood and is a great place for running, walks and bike rides. Just a few minutes on the trail and you will feel like you are in a different universe.

Fannie Mae Reaches Out

During this housing crisis and recession I have been asked countless times "how long will it take before I can buy a house now if I have a short sale on my credit?" Before the lending crisis started the normal guidelines after a foreclosure, BK or short sale was 4 years for FHA loans and 5 for conventional. You had to show proof that you have re-established credit and that you have learned from your mistake.

I have said from the beginning that the banks were going to need to adjust there guidelines to reflect this crisis because you are ostracizing a huge amount of people from buying a home in the future. Many of the people affected were responsible people who lost their jobs and could not find work. Those people should not be punished if they previously had good credit and have worked themselves back to normalcy.

In today's Wall Street Journal it was announced that Fannie Mae is now realizing this same thing. The new rules starting in July will only apply to those who have avoided foreclosure by completing a Short Sale or a Deed in Lieu Foreclosure. They will have to a larger down payment but the point is that the people who have recovered in all other aspects of their life will have a chance at being a homeowner sooner rather than later. It is baby steps in the right direction but at least the goverment is realizing that not everyone who lost their home will repeat this in the future. By giving these people another chance most if not all of them will probably work harder and make sure that they buy something completely within their means and not stretch the dollar as far as they can.

As we all are very aware of how the banks and goverment have corrected all of the guidelines and made them stricter in about every possible way. The corrections have been made and now it is time to reevaluate the American people and adjust accordingly for the future. Many of the current guidelines will not be condusive going forward unless we want to only lend to the "cream of the crop" and in that case the housing market will take years to recover. It seems as though the change will come in the future but for those who have already gone through it...there is a ray of hope in being a homeowner again!
