By
Real Estate Agent with Cherry Creek Properties

Village at Country Creek, is an age 55+ Retirement Community in Fruita, CO. It is a unique neighborhood in the Grand Valley. Geographically, Village at Country Creek is in Fruita, CO while it serves seniors in that town as well as the larger Grand Junction area. Village at Country Creek is the only age 55+ community of exclusive free-standing homes; no apartments.

Eight Floor Plans to Choose From

With 8 floor plans to choose from ranging in size from 1240 sq. ft. to over 1600, all but the one smallest floor plan having 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, this community offers the older home buyer lots of options. Many units are built attached to a neighbor, so they are a duplex of sorts. The attachment is at the garage common wall so even if you had a wild elder-neighbor kicking up their heels next door, the sound or vibration would not reach your home any more than it would a single family residence. Two of these duplexes face inward to form a central quad. Other homes face the street, sit on a small lot of their own and have a front porch that encourages sitting out in an easy chair or swing where you can be neighborly with others walking by.

The neighborhood itself is small enough to be walkable to all its reaches yet not so small as to feel confining. On the subject of walking, eavery time I'm in the neighborhood I see residents walking their 'small' dogs. The operative word there is 'small' dogs; and, there are many of them.

While some of the homes are as much as 13 years old, others have been built over the intervening years with some new homes under construction in the winter-spring of 2014. All floor plans are single floor - ranch-style - for safe, nearly step-free access. 

A Lot For Your $$ With Modest HOA Dues

For very modest homeowners association dues the exterior of the homes, common grounds and a  recreation/ community center are all very well kept up. There is even RV parking for those residents with a vehicle or boat they want to store on-site; with easy, secluded yet unlocked access to that storage area.

Convenient Location and . . . you can drive a golf cart on city streets of Fruita

Located just off Fruita's 18 Road and a bit north of the main part of town, access is very good to the the recreation center/ library; grocery shopping, banking, eating out, and many other day-to-day wants and needs type services. The local hospital is only a 5-10 minute drive from the Village at Country Creek. Grand Junction, with all the amenities and services of a larger regional center is a 15-20 minute drive away using Interstate Highway 70 or smaller more local roads. Within this community and on any road north of interstate highway 70, Fruita residents can drive golf carts on city streets with no special permit. 

Whether it is floor plan choices, quiet neighbors, well-kept grounds or other amenities, Village at Country Creek, age 55+ retirement community provides its residents a comfortable and affordable choice for housing in the sunny, mild western Colorado outdoor environment.
