For anyone wanting to recall when single family home ownership was affordable, a visit to Willow Crossing, a new Sun Communities property in Fort Lupton, will be an eye opener. Willow Crossing, is just five minutes northeast of Fort Lupton’s exit on U.S.
85. There, buyers will find modern single-family 2-4 bedroom home models with prices ranging from $129,995 to $259,995. “People are excited to find homes like these,” says Haleigh Knoll, sales manager at Willow Crossing.
“Our beautiful homes along with our resort style amenities make Willow Crossing a very attractive option for families looking for a house.” With a setting a short walk from Fort Lupton’s Twombly Elementary School, Knoll says that several buyers who purchased were young families, coming from rentals or apartments in Brighton, Commerce City and other north metro areas. “They love having their own space for their family without sharing walls with other people.
” Knoll adds. But Knoll also sees empty-nester couples looking to buy homes with main-floor living space now that their kids no longer live with them. “They’re selling houses in areas like Reunion where taxes are much higher than they are in Fort Lupton,” she adds.
Those buyers typically report that sales of their homes were quick and painless—disappearing to contracts within three-to-five days of coming on the market. As a result, some of those are cash purchases, leaving the buyers with the financial freedom to travel, Knoll says.
