Tallyn's Reach is an award winning community (Land Development Visionary Award), spanning nearly 1,000 acres, that successfully embodies the wonderful character of Colorado. Tallyn's Reach is located in South Aurora, Colorado. The homes are nestled around thousands of mature trees, including over 2,000 Ponderosa Pines, some nearly 200 years old. The plan is to plant up to 5,000 more trees! Breathe in the fresh air as you enjoy the olympic size swimming pool, biking and hiking paths, abundant, open space areas, or while you relax in the sitting areas. You can also play tennis against the panoramic backdrop of the foothills.
The homes are unique and appealing, blending well with the landscape; progressive architecture (0 comments)

Southshore is a waterside master planned community located in southeast Aurora, which overlooks the Aurora Reservoir. This community was developed by John Laing Homes and Village Homes. The community was named the "National Master Planned Community of the Year" by the National Sales & Marketing Council of the National Association of Homebuilders, or the NAHB. This is the first development in Colorado to win this designation. The community has an ominous 11,000 square foot lake house with a theater, gym, fitness room, and library. Outside the lake house is a salt water infinity pool, volleyball area, and fire pit. A great place to spend time with friends and neighbors! Other (0 comments)

If so, let me know your impressions. I think it is an impressive community, with sweeping views of the lake, and in close proximity to Southland's Mall (popular new outdoor mall), Cherry Creek Schools, and a (3 comments)
aurora: Banks not in the Lawn Care business? Arapahoe County begs to differ!

It is starting to become a common sight in many neighborhoods across the country > the home that has been overgrown with weeds, bushes, trees, and the grass is either dead or out of control. The suburban bunny rabbit's dream! Of course, most of these lawns belong to the banks that obtained them through foreclosure.
I think we can agree that these lawns are not aesthetically pleasing, but furthermore, they may lessen the overall appeal of a neighborhood...scaring away potential buyer's. Today I saw a sign on the garage doors of two homes in an area I was in today, near Saddlerock, in Aurora, (9 comments)
