BOULDER CREEK NEIGHBHORHOODS
Looking for something a bit closer to home on the Front Range? Boulder Creek Neighborhoods provides unique, low-maintenance housing options in the Denver Metro area. At their patio homes, townhouses and signature wee-Cottages, low-maintenance is a key component of not only the shared community spaces, but also of the homes themselves. Whether buyers are looking for limited exterior upkeep, increased mobility, or even a boost in free time, all of the outdoor maintenance and landscaping is taken care of by an HOA – which means that time that was once spent on household chores and yard work can now be spent simply enjoying life. What would you do with those extra six to eight free hours per week? Spend time with friends and family? Travel, ski, or immerse yourself in a new hobby? Those activities are just a few among the many that Boulder Creek Neighborhoods makes available to their homeowners. 720.608.0558; livebouldercreek.com.
