Cherry Creek real estate

Cherry Creek North Real Estate has experienced an unprecedented revival during the last decade, with many modest-size, pre-World-War-II homes now being supplanted by luxury condominiums, town homes, and single-family houses in an amazing array of architectural styles, from Contemporary to more traditional Tuscan and French Country.

Already an inviting, friendly neighborhood, Cherry Creek keeps getting better as new families, businesses, and upscale shops and small boutiques move in, drawn by the areas irresistible charms.

Much of old Denver’s wealthier citizens came here to live in the 1880s and 1890s. Many of the extravagant Victorian, Tudor and Greek Revival mansions still exist. In fact, the home of legendary Titanic survivor, the “unsinkable” Molly Brown still stands on Pennsylvania.

Today Capitol Hill offers a wide range of housing types and price ranges from high-rise condos to single-family homes, apartments in historic mansions to lofts in renovated commercial buildings.

Walking place or taking a bike is probably the best way to get around as most everything you’d want is close by; restaurants, diners, used bookstores and parks. In fact, you could host a great pub crawl starting at any one of Capitol Hill’s shabby chic dive bars.

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 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.
