Most homebuyers who are struggling to purchase workable homes in older Denver areas like Highlands and Park Hill already know they can find new-home alternatives in master-planned Stapleton. What they may NOT know is that they can tour brand new models in Stapleton’s newest neighborhood that have David Weekley Homes’ size and quality, at prices that may be lower than what they’re seeing now for smaller resale homes.
“People think of David Weekley as a higher quality, high-end builder, and they often assume we’re beyond their price range,” says Lisa Hoskins, who along with Sarah Norgaard will show you two David Weekley models in Stapleton’s new Beeler Park neighborhood at prices from the low $400,000s.
This weekend you can preview the furnished models, including David Weekley’s new “La Plata Peak” — a paired-home design that has the look and feel of a single-family home, showing attractive dining and entertaining areas, a wide-open bedroom level with a big master, upstairs laundry and the two-car garage and appealing basement space that are so hard to find in those older parts of town. And at Beeler Park, even David Weekley’s more expensive single-family designs have prices that begin with a four, not a five or a six.
David Weekley also gets high marks for its straightforward approach to pricing — telling buyers up front with good certainty as to where they’ll end up price-wise, after they’ve been to the design center and selected options that may not be offered with the standard feature package. “We start out with higher-quality standard features,” says Hoskins. “We’ve had buyers who’ve spent as little as $7,570 at the design center. And our Beeler Park homesites typically don’t have an additional lot premium associated with the base price of the home.”
None of that will be a concern on any of the six homes David Weekley has on track to be ready for late fall or early winter move-in at Beeler Park —including five from that attainably priced Paired Home collection. You can tour the La Plata Peak model, and if you like what you see, you’ll find one very similar taking shape at 5971 Boston St., on track for pre-holiday move-in, with finished basement space included, just as in the model. It has three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, plus a loft for a study or kids’ play area; just short of 2,300 square feet of finished space, the home is priced at $489,689.
The home already has options that most David Weekley buyers choose on homes built from scratch, including 10-foot ceilings on the main and upstairs level; nine feet in the basement. “You’re not going to have to duck in the basement stairwell like in some of those older resales,” says Hoskins.
You’ll also see the locational advantages that make Stapleton Denver’s fastest-selling community, including very popular Denver Public Schools and neighborhood attractions being created for Beeler Park — an Adirondack park with a kids’ splash pool and Beeler Street Parkway, designed as a country esplanade with orchards and wildflower meadows.
Hoskins and Norgaard will show you paired homes that’ll deliver this year from the $470s as well as a single-family home in the $570s. All of them have community HOA fees of only $40/month for Stapleton’s amenities – no added fees. To preview the new show homes, from central Stapleton take MLK Boulevard east to Central Park Boulevard, turn north and proceed three miles (past I-70, past East 56th Avenue) to East 60th. David Weekley’s models are a block east.
