Roxborough Park Named Among Country’s Best Affordable Suburbs
BusinessWeek recently named the country’s “Best Affordable Suburbs in America,” and Douglas County’s Roxborough Park made the list. Roxborough Park, Colorado, a Denver-area suburb with a population of 8,211, was ranked as the seventh best affordable suburb in the country, based on its affordability, high quality of life, amenities (country clubs and golf courses), low crime rate, quality education and low commute times.
The magazine described Roxborough Park as, “The red rock formations near Roxborough Park, a community that developed in the 1970s, are considered some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in Colorado. The 3,339-acre state park offers residents hiking and biking trails, cross-country skiing, and educational programs for Colorado geology and wildlife. The Douglas County School District is one of the best in the state.”

Denver Area Community Spotlight – University Hills
Denver’s quaint University Hills neighborhood, also known as Observatory Park, is an older area nestled between Hampden Avenue, Colorado Boulevard, Evans and I-25. This area is perfect for commuting to the Denver Tech Center and for traveling to the mountains because of its close proximity to the interstate. Most of the homes in the area date back to the 1950s, however many homes have been “scraped.” As a result, home prices in University Hills vary from the $100,000s to upwards of $1,000,000.
The University Hills neighborhood is home to many local joints, including restaurants and ethnic eateries, independent shops, Chez Artiste (a famous independent movie theatre), a public library and its very own Mamie Doud Eisenhower Park. The park offers tennis courts, soccer fields, an outdoor pool, a recreation center, and a playground. The Wellington public golf course is located right across the street. This family friendly neighborhood feeds into Denver Public Schools and is home to several private schools.

Denver Area Community Spotlight – Bonnie Brae
Bonnie Brae, meaning “pleasant hill” in Gaelic, is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in the entire Denver metropolitan area.

Bonnie Brae’s well-situated central Denver location is optimal for homebuyers who seek a charismatic neighborhood along with the conveniences and amenities of a large city. A light rail station, located at University Boulevard and I-25, adds even more to Bonnie Brae’s appeal and convenience.
The centerpiece of the Bonnie Brae neighborhood is a quaint cluster of dinning and retail establishments, designed to resemble a Scottish village.

Denver Area Community Spotlight – Park Hill
Convenient location and affordable home prices make Park Hill very attractive to buyers
Don’t miss today’s Denver Post real estate section that features, “A lesser-known Park Hill,” by Christian Toto. My expertise on the Park Hill neighborhood is showcased in the article, which examines the “unofficial” Park Hill neighborhood, lying to the east of Monaco Parkway. Many of TeamCox’s buyers are attracted to the vibrant Park Hill neighborhood, including a young couple who will be arriving this week for a house-hunting trip. The couple, a newly minted doctor and her husband, is searching for an affordable home in the dynamic northeast Denver neighborhoods of Park Hill or Stapleton.
The attractiveness of the Park Hill neighborhood is endless – it is not only a short distance to the Anschutz Medical Campus, home to Children’s Hospital and the University of Colorado Health Science Center, but boasts lower home prices than neighboring areas. As mentioned in the Denver Post article, Park Hill’s eastern section’s close proximity to the highly popular Stapleton community could equate to substantial future equity for its homeowners.
This particular young couple has several other factors to consider, including safety and environmental issues. Buyers are willing to pay a premium if an older home has high-energy thermal windows, or an energy efficient heating and air conditioning system. Since sophisticated buyers are willing to pay a premium for products that will save energy dollars in the future, they easily recognize the inherent value of features like Energy Star rated appliances.
Park Hill real estate, which ranges in price from the $200s into the millions, features a diverse mix of architectural styles, including the famous Denver Square, Colonial, Mediterranean and Queen Anne. Similar to other Denver neighborhoods, many homes in Park Hill have been extensively renovated.
