Lower-Maintenance LivingConfessions of a Low-Maintenance Homeowner
Ask anyone what they’d like more of in their life, and chances are most will say, “Time.” Between work, family responsibilities, and chores it can be hard to find that precious free time in your day-to-day life. Each year seems to speed by faster than the last. That’s why the team at Boulder Creek Neighborhoods builds homes designed to create more time in homeowners’ lives. It’s a concept called lifefullness ®—a unique living experience designed around how you want to live your life. It’s the ability to focus more on that which matters most to you, and the chance to finally do the things you really love. A better way of living A better way of living doesn’t just come in the form of beautiful materials and stylish finishes — though those things can be important. The homes and neighborhoods at Boulder Creek are modeled around life – the way you want to live it. Here, you’ll find right-sized homes that are centered around ease of living features, and where many outdoor maintenance chores are managed on your behalf. Take, for example, mowing the lawn and pulling the weeds. Now some folks might really love to do those things, but for most of us, these are the unpleasant necessities of owning a home. We think a life well lived means less of that and more exploring, more entertaining, and more enjoying. “With my time commitments and busy schedule, I didn’t want to lose time to yard work and snow shoveling. And now I’m glad that I’ve got that time back in my schedule.” – Tim E., Boulder Creek Homeowner “This is the vision I have for my life. I enjoy hiking and skiing and plan on doing much more now that I won’t be tied down to a home that requires so much of my time.” – Mary C., Boulder Creek Homeowner Time Better Spent With a low-maintenance home from Boulder Creek Neighborhoods, you have the freedom to decide how you spend your free time. Spend more time on the things you love, and less time on the things you don’t. Stress less – live more At Colorado’s Boulder Creek Neighborhoods, our low-maintenance homes are designed with you in mind. That means simple, thoughtful, and efficient layouts that maximize space and livability. We believe that a home is more than just a place to hang your hat, it is a chance to set your best intentions free – to live the life you’ve always dreamed but never had time for. So, head to the farmer’s market, catch that concert at Red Rocks, pick up that book you’ve been meaning to read… the choice is yours with a low-maintenance lifestyle. Welcome home to Boulder Creek Neighborhoods Low-maintenance living invites you to slow down and make the most of every moment, without the hassle of many of those less-than-fun outdoor maintenance chores. You might discover that’s the time you’ve been seeking all along.

Downsizing Is an Upgrade The size of the average American home has nearly tripled between the 1950s and today. As square footage has grown to keep up with the Joneses, so have prices.

If you’ve been searching, you’ve likely found homes with high price tags that are in dire need of a facelift. Boulder Creek Neighborhoods takes a different approach. We offer energy-efficient new homes with the style and substance you want at the price you need, and all in a smaller package.

Social Membership Included at Boulder Creek
Living in a Boulder Creek Neighborhood certainly comes with a long list of advantages. In addition to enjoying a low-maintenance home that fits your active lifestyle, you belong to a community of folks that understand what it means to be friendly and neighborly—then take it to the next level. Perhaps this is because Boulder Creek Neighborhoods truly understands the benefits of fostering amiable relationships within all of our active adult communities in Denver. We love to put on our party-planning hat to host and organize events to encourage members to get out and have fun together. Boulder Creek encourages, and in turn Boulder Creek homeowners foster, a unique sense of community camaraderie and a social membership that can’t be found everywhere. We invite you to learn more about how you can develop your own social hobby and gain a sense of involvement and community as a Boulder Creek Neighborhoods homeowner. Our active communities in Denver welcome you before you move in. We often hold open house events in our communities throughout the year. During these get-togethers, future friendships are formed, as neighbors mingle with each other and discover similar interests (and perhaps even a few decorating ideas!). What’s more, individuals who are interested in the neighborhood are invited also, providing them with a sneak peek at their neighbors. (How often do you really get a chance to party with your neighbors before you even move in?) Calmante recently hosted a community open house brunch (complete with waffles and a Bloody Mary Bar) that allowed residents to meet potential neighbors and answer any questions about being a homeowner. Pinnacle also held a similar event—a Pre-Oscars Party—to get interested buyers and homeowners to connect. This way, when interested homebuyers become new neighbors, they’ve already broken the ice and met the people living around them. Check out the Boulder Creek Neighborhood Facebook page or sign up for emails to learn more about our upcoming community open house events. Start your own hobby or interest group in the community. You don’t have to wait for an official Boulder Creek Neighborhood event to see all your favorite neighbors and meet the folks that just moved in down the street. We encourage residents to take the lead and organize their own get-togethers, making our active adult communities in and around Denver the best they can be. Seek out a group that is already meeting and start participating- we’ve already seen walking groups and photography classes organize right in front of our model homes. Or, if no one is spearheading an activity you’d like to do regularly, find some neighbors and plan your own! Go hiking or biking, learn needlepoint or scrapbooking.
