If you think buying a new home is not as affordable as buying a used home, think again! For anyone considering a relocation to new digs, the benefits of new construction can outweigh any hesitations. Here are the top five reasons why owning a brand new home might be the right move for you! 
One of the best things about living in Colliers Hill in northwest Denver is its proximity to Erie (less than five minutes), Boulder (25 minutes) and a few L-cities in between (Lafayette: 15 minutes and Longmont: 20 minutes). These locations are especially appealing this time of year with so many fall festivals, pumpkin patches, corn mazes and Halloween things to do — such a short drive (or walk) away!
The Eerie Erie is a community race held in Erie on October 27, the Saturday before Halloween. It’s both a serious and a fun run that attracts runners from all over the state, many of them wearing their Halloween best. Since 1982 the Optimists Club of Erie, which was founded to “aid and encourage the development of youth,” has been planning and coordinating this community race. Each year it gets bigger and better and takes an army of volunteers to pull off, says Joanne Pastor, President and Chairman of the Optimists Club.
Can’t wait to relocate to northwest Denver? Looking for a new home with all the bells and whistles in a master-planned community with awesome amenities and plenty of fun things to do? Hoping to find a friendly neighborhood that feels like a small town, but has access to big-city life – when you want it?
A Fourth of July without barbecue is like Scooby Doo without Shaggy, or Han Solo without Chewbacca. A Ranker.com survey reports the top three things to throw on the grill are burgers, followed by steak and sausages. We’re all about the protein, too – as you’ll soon see – but there’s more to a backyard barbecue than pork, beef and chicken! Check out our ideas and recipes for expanding your Fourth of July barbecued deliciousness.
The walls are up, the roof is on, the concrete floors are polished and the final touches are being added to the new Soaring Heights PK-8 School in Erie. The building stands on a 22-acre site, with 131,000 square feet that will contain two gyms, four music rooms, an impressive stage, media center and two “maker spaces”.

If you have wee ones who need to learn how to ski and snowboard before hitting the bunny runs, Shredder Urban Ski and Snowboard Park is the go-to school of choice.

Gear is included, but you can bring your own to learn the basics and to sharpen ski skills!
