Boulder Gardens

As many of you know, New Era Realty recently opened a new office in Denver’s Lower Highlands (LoHi) neighborhood.  With one of the highest walkable scores in Denver, located only steps from Downtown Denver and LoDo, LoHi is becoming one of the top neighborhoods for loft and condo dwellers (Denver’s trendy LoHi).  Area restaurants including Lola, Vita, Forest Room 5, Colt and Gray, LoHi SteakBar and Z Cuisine, just to name a few, make LoHi a culinary delight.  With new loft and condo projects springing up everywhere around our office (with many fetching some of the highest prices in Denver), we set out to locate some affordable options for the first-time buyer or buyer on a more limited budget.  These two new LoHi loft and condo projects are must-see’s if you don’t want to break the bank!

Sprocket Designs is well-known for designing and building high-quality, ultra modern lofts and condos in some of Denver’s hottest neighborhoods.  With over 15 successful projects to-date and several more planned, Sprocket has become a household name especially among discerning loft and condo buyers.  Boulder Street Gardens is one of Sprocket’s newest projects which will be located just down the street from our office, between 17^th and 18^th Streets on Boulder Avenue. This collection of 9 “townhome” style Denver lofts and condos is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2010.  With pricing starting in the mid $200,000 range to less than $300,000, this project is arguably the best deal in LoHi right now!  In fact, they have already sold 1/3 of the units by word of mouth alone (one of our clients snapped the first one up!).  This is no surprise given the features found in these Denver lofts and condos!  Buyers can choose from 2-3 bedroom, 1.5-2 bathroom units with 900 square feet or more of living space plus an optional basement (a recommended add-on for only $25,000).   Each townhome has a private courtyard with patio and fenced yard (very rare at this price point), balcony on the 2^nd level and a 1 car detached garage.  Inside the discerning buyer will find a host of modern finishes and surprisingly open and airy floorplans including a 2-story vaulted ceiling in the family room.  Please email us or ring John (303-522-7746) and Brian (303-521-622) for more information about the Boulder Street Gardens project as well as current pricing and availability.  At current prices, expect these Denver loft and condos to sell out quickly!

The other new Denver loft and condo project we find particularly alluring is the 32^nd Avenue Rowhomes.  This collection of 5 new, ultra modern townhomes are priced very attractively between $380,000 and $410,000.  These LoHi lofts and condos feature 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1083 to 1200 finished square feet.  An attached 1 or 2 car garage, rooftop deck or balcony and sleek European finishes make these an unbeatable deal for the area.  Best of all, these lofts and condos are LEED-certified meaning they are environmentally responsible and will save you a bundle on your utility bills!  This includes:

- Energy efficient CFL lighting

- Energy Star appliances

- Xeriscaping

- Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score of 70-80

- Efficient hot water plumbing system-

- Tankless hot water heater

- Radon mitigation systems pre-wired

- Low VOC paint

- 95% efficient furnace

With one sold already, these Denver lofts and condos are going fast, so email us or ring Brian (303-521-622) or John (303-522-7746) for your private tour of this hot new development!

We have been talking a great deal about all the great new high rise buildings for lofts and condos throughout downtown Denver and the surrounding areas. Today we want to talk about one of our favorite neighborhoods which is the Lower Highlands (you may know it as LoHi).

The LoHi area has been a favorite among buyers for quite some time with it’s walkable streets and pocket parks. We work with many buyers and this neighborhood has an appeal for everyone. There are older turn of the century homes that have been restored to their breathtaking original shine for those who want to maintain the historical look and feel. There are many homes which have been completely updated with modern finishes mixed with the old style architecture. There are brand new low and mid rise modern lofts, town homes, and condos featuring some of the best work of Denver’s designers. And of course, for our do it yourself clients there are still many many properties that are priced for a new homeowner to acquire and then go any direction in terms of style in doing their own updating.

LoHi has character. This combination of different styles, periods of architecture and design, and recent influx of improvements has created a neighborhood where a walking tour is a treat. This, in turn, has attracted many new residents and…. we hope you already know this from experience… many many new and wonderful restaurants, wine bars, coffee shops and more. Many would claim that for those wanting to be surrounded by walkable treats for the palate LoHi is counted in a top selection. With Lola, Vita, Z-Cuisine, the new LoHi Steak Bar, Taqueria Patzcuaro, Duo, Rosa Linda Mexican Cafe, Gallop Cafe in the heart of LoHi and Sushi Sasa, the new Ernies, everything around 32nd and Lowell and the entire CPV so close it is fair to say this gem of a neighborhood can back up that top selection claim.

One of our favorite amenities in any downtown neighborhood has always been the restaurants and gathering places that create community. Sharing a glass of wine, a cup of coffee, or a delicious meal with friends, family and neighbors is one of the simplest and most enjoyable moments in a day (or in life). Selecting a home that enables our buyers to enjoy this lifestyle is part of how we assist our clients. And this neighborhood is just one of the many in Denver that makes our job easier.

Call or contact us today to learn more about condos, lofts and homes in the LoHi neighborhood or any of Denver’s wonderful communities.

Thank you,

Metroview Townhomes
Bryant St & W 24th Ave
400 3^rd Avenue
Denver, CO 80203

The northwest corner of 24th & Bryant, in the Jefferson Park Neighborhood, is the site of the Metroview Urban Living Townhomes.  Completed in 2007, the development consists of 8 units ranging from 1,215 square feet to 1,975 square feet.   It is said to have a modern Zen appeal, and most of the units have 500 square foot roof top decks!

Prices over the past two years have ranged between $505,000 to $589,000. Taxes are roughly $2,500 per year, and monthly HOAs are under $100!  The Walkability Score is 75, but will certainly come up quickly as the neighborhood is one of the fastest growing in Denver!

The Jefferson Park district is known for being the home to the new Mile High Stadium (Invesco Field) and for its stunning views of the Downtown skyline.  Although the area barely grew in the 1990’s, today it is booming with growth. Many of the other Center City neighborhoods are viewed as not affordable to many people, and therefore Jefferson Park is finally being discovered as an urban district that is both remarkably close to Downtown and still relatively affordable.
