Move to Stapleton: A resident Realtor's view of the Stapleton Community! #6
After this past weekend & upcoming week of events, I thought it only appropriate to note my number 6 reason to move to Stapleton. How the Stapleton community has given me new friends & neighbors. 
This weekend was our Neighborhood progressive party.  It was so great to reminisce about our move to Stapleton.  When purchasing a new home in Stapleton about 6 years ago, we joined about 60 households who all moved in at about the same time.  This was great because everyone was in the same boat- Our new house … (2 comments)

Move to Stapleton: A Resident Realtor's view of the Stapleton Community-#7
What should we do this weekend?  A question that always seems to have a Stapleton answer.  When we made our move to Stapleton we loved the idea of the parks & pools but didn't realize how cool it would be to have an event planned for us almost every weekend in the summer & monthly through the rest of the year.
You can always count on things moving in Stapleton in the Summer months.  Founder's green is always bustling with live music, a farmer's market, open air shopping, or my favorite, movies … (0 comments)

Move to Stapleton: A Resident Realtor's list of what we love about the Stapleton Community-#8
While living in the old homes of Denver has all the charm & beauty, there really is something to be said about living in a newly constructed home. Since we have moved to Stapleton, I very rarely stay awake wondering if I need to budget for a new furnace or that our neighbors just had their main sewer line replaced for $15,000- that would be a tough bill/pill to swallow.  Honestly though, I admit I fall in a trance every time I walk through an old home & remember having that kind of … (0 comments)

 Move to Stapleton: A Resident Realtor's top 10 reasons for choosing the Stapleton Community-#9
#9-  I had the family in the car & we were headed west on I-70 between Havana & Quebec.  I couldn't believe how quickly the new Central Park Blvd. & Northfield Interchange was being constructed.  This sparked the conversation of remember when... Being Denver natives we think back to what it was like when Stapleton was an airport.  What a change for the residents of Park Hill  & North Aurora.  House values in the early 1990's had a nice tick up in those neighborhoods with all the buzz of the revitalization, and continues to.

Move to Stapleton: A resident Realtor's view of the Stapleton community!
An associate of mine at the office is contemplating making the move to Stapleton.  He asked me a month or so ago if I liked it, "Of course I like it, actually I love it!"  that was enough for him.  He didn't need further confirmation.  Until a month later, " So now tell me, do you really like Stapleton?"  I laughed because he was me 7 years ago.  Before Stapleton I had lived in the Highlands in a sweet little Victorian, my husband & I then moved to a beautiful Denver Square … (1 comments)
