Denver Home Resource Blog: March 2010

Rock Creek in Superior Colorado is great community that offers a lot of amenities.

There are 14 different communities in Rock Creek, offering homes in price ranges from the low $200,000's to over  million dollars in the gated community of Waterford. This family-friendly neighborhood has two parks with pools. Over 25 miles of greenbelt trails wind throughout the entire neighborhood.

Superior Elementary (K to 5) and Eldorado K-8 are the two schools found in the development. Since Superior is a part of Boulder County, these school are part of the Boulder Valley School District. The Boulder Valley School District is one of the best in the state of Colorado.

Throughout the year there are a lot of sponosred events in Superior including:

• Movie nights
• Chili Fest
• Concerts
• The Superior Morgul Classic Bicycle Race
• 4th of July Parade and Pancake Breakfast and One Mile downhill footrace
  

In addition, you never have to look too far to catch breathtaking views of the Flatirons mountains to the west.

Just east of Rock Creek, there is extensive shopping available at the Flatirons Crossing mall.

Southeast of the development you'll find Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport.

Since Superior Colorado is located between Denver and Boulder, it offers residents a lot of choices in places to work. Northern Colorado has the RTD for mass transit, making the commute to either city very easy.

This is one event you won't want to miss. Then on Monday we can head over to Boulder and have some fun at the Bolder Boulder. See you there!

One of the great things about Boulder County Colorado is that there is no lack of outdoor activities. There is an extensive parks and trail system throughout the county. That is one of the reasons why I relocated to Colorado.

Heading west out of Boulder on Boulder Canyon Road there is a quiet park with scenic trails called Betasso Preserve. The park exists due to the kindness of the Betasso family. It was the Parks and Open Space Department's first major open-space acquisition.

The trails are great for running, mountain biking, hiking, or even sauntering - which is what my wife , our dog Cody, and I did on that beautiful, crisp afternoon. On this day we walked the Canyon Loop Trailhead, and enjoyed its six miles of serene scenery.

In the late 1800's they say that this area was so busy that you'd typically see five wagons pass through on there way to Nederland Colorado.

Here you can see  the City of Boulder  in the valley, and some  Homes in Boulder nestled in the mountain.

What can I say? Even sauntering burns up some calories and requires you to replenish fluids. Besides, all work and no play makes Mike a dull boy!

If you enjoy breathetaking scenery, a wonderful climate, and some of the friendliest folks you'll ever want to meet, then you owe to yourself to visit Boulder Colorado. If you're looking for a home in Boulder or are curious about home values in Boulder, start here. If you think that  you may want to relocate to Colorado, we should talk.
