Do you know what a Peloton is?

Boulder Luxury CondosKudos if you do!  My husband did, but then again he's a cycling enthusiast, For the rest of us here's the def. according to Wikpedia:

Peloton: a field, bunch or pack is the large main group in a road bicycle race. Riders in a group save energy by riding close (drafting or slipstreaming) near (particularly behind) other riders. 

The point being? 

Some of you know that I'm planning a move soon, but for the rest of you, I thought I'd share what is going on in my life of late.  My husband and I decided to take advantage of the 'pre-construction' sales price and buy into a Luxury Condo Community that's going up in Boulder.

 

 

The Boulder Peloton, is an exciting new mixed-use community going up in a fabulous location in Central Boulder, next to the 29th Street Shopping District, with direct access to the Boulder Creek Path, the Cyling Artery through Boulder.  Initially we weren't sure whether we were buying for investment only or if we wanted to live in it ourselves, at least for a little while!  

In the end the Community Center with top-notch amenities including: Year-Round Heated Rooftop Pool, with 2 Hot Tubs, Fire Pit and Barbecue Area, 6,000 square foot Fitness Center, 22 seat Movie Theater, Billiards/Game Room, and Conference Center to name a few; and of course the stunning mountain view are what sealed it for us!

We are planning to move in sometime this August, and I'm getting more and more excited each week!  In the end we decided to that we'll sell our mountain home, even though it's not necessarily the strongest market right now.  But one of the reasons we're moving is to simplify our lives and having our current home as a second home would complicate matters....

Of course I'm planning to  stage the heck out of it, and I'll post pictures for you all to see when we list!

I'm not sure why the developers chose the name Peloton, but it really rings true to me.  One of the reasons we bought was because the idea of downsizing from a 3,000 square foot home to a 1,200 square foot condo really appealed to us.  And of course that by combining smaller living spaces with shared amenities would be an energy saver.  By downsizing and moving closer to where we work, and the girls go to school, we're significantly reducing our carbon footprint in a most luxurious way and it feels great!  If only they'd hurry up!

Sounds like you have an exciting summer ahead of you as you get ready for your new place. 

Out here in the rust belt we don't talk about our carbon footprint too much yet.  Give us time.

Hi Jessica - sounds like a great place to live!

I'm curious - with the two heated pools are they planning to use any Solar Hot Water to heat the pools? Seems to me that would be a great way for the condo association to save money!

Have fun with the move!

THat's a great picture. I'm sure that the selling of your home will be a lot of fun. I know mine will be.

Thanks for the new vocabulary word! And congrats on the move. I use to live in Broomfield but that was 15+ years ago. I'm not sure I'd reconize Boulder if I ran into it.

Nope, I had no idea what Peloton was!  But I do now!  Maybe it will come in handy during a scrabble game!

Sounds like you are going to have an exciting and busy summer.  Best to you and your family.

That looks pretty cool Jessica. I lived in Boulder from 1996-2003. At the time, 29th street was a sagging old mall. I know the town was thinking of ways to rejuvinate this area and it looks like they are well on the way. Good luck with the move. As one of the great cycling geek capitals of the country, I am not surprised that the developers went peloton.

Jessica,   Congratulations on your new home.  Downsizing can be liberating, I did it last year.  I love the fact you will have wonderful Colorado views and great amenities.  Keep sharing the experience with us.

Oooooh!  I love the rooftop pool! 

Good luck with your move.  I can't wait to see the before and after pics.

P.S.  Thanks for the definition of Peleton.  I learned something new today!
