‘Almost like single-family living.’ Near Buckley AFB, Anschutz, Meritage readies energy-saving paired homes from $390s,‘all in’

-

s the price of home ownership keeps slipping away, at a moment when interest rates are unbelievab­ly low, Meritage Homes is getting set to open a small collection of its roomy paired-home designs for an infill neighborho­od that’s very close to Buckley AFB and its tech campuses; and almost as close to the Anschutz medical campus.

“They’re almost like single-family living,” says Meritage’s Lee Thompson about these new paired-home models with ‘all-in’ prices from the $390s, being readied for a grand opening Saturday, Sept. 19, just west of the intersecti­on of E. Alameda Parkway and E. Mississipp­i Avenue. That’s a mile from Northrop-Grumman’s Buckley campus, closer still to the base’s Mississipp­i/Main Gate.

“For anybody who has waited to get out of renting a small apartment, they have to do it now; yesterday is gone,” says Thompson.

AAlong with Travis McKercher, he can show you plans for those new designs at Meritage’s nearby East Creek neighborho­od (off E. Alameda just west of Airport Blvd); and can arrange for you to sneak a peek at the actual models, a mile southeast.

From as low as $398,000 (an all-in price that will get you a 3-bedroom home with 1,620 square feet plus a 2-car garage), the paired series is part of Meritage’s LiVE.NOW collection of homes, created to make homeowners­hip simpler and more affordable, while offering the wide-open interiors that the newest single-family homes are showing.

Meritage is also readying a larger 3-bedroom/2-1/2 bath plan, sized at over 2,000 square feet of finished space, with a price in the low $400s (one of those is set for December move-in at $426,675).

Better indoor-air quality

Like all Meritage designs, both paired plans show energy and water conservati­on features that go way beyond what other popular market builders are doing—using polyuretha­ne insulation that keeps homes warmer in winter, cooler in summer, while providing the highest indoor-air quality standards of any production builder. (Each home gets a MERV 13 high energy particle filter.)

Thompson says you won’t find a better value on space and features anywhere in this area, with its nonfreeway commutes to Buckley and to Anschutz—with singlefami­ly homes being more expensive; and builders’ multifamil­y homes running too small.

The way to get involved with these while the best selection is still available is via MeritageHo­mes.com/Denver, where you can sign onto a VIP list in advance of the grand opening; or set up your choice of a tour—on-site or virtual.
