Century Communities, Greenwood Village, Colorado, on Thursday afternoon announced groundbreakings for six new neighborhoods in the metro-Denver area: Oak Street and Pearson Grove in Lakewood, Littleton Village in Littleton, Alder Village in Parker, Belleview Place in Aurora, and ParkView at Candelas in Arvada. All are anticipated to open for sales in 2018.

"With our rapid urban expansion in this very fast-paced market, we keep our commitment of offering quality homes at attainable price points," said Brian Mulqueen, president of Century Communities' Urban Division. "It's a dream come true for most when they are able to make a home purchase, whether it be their first home or moving into their next home. Our growth is providing more options and more solutions for home buyers. These six developments are in locations convenient to either downtown Denver, Boulder, or the Denver Tech Center, with some communities close to Light Rail providing home buyers with the ability to find a new home and the best commute for their lifestyle."

Home buyers will have two opportunities to purchase in Lakewood. Century Communities plans to open for sale at Oak Street this July with pricing from the low-$300s, located at Oak Street and West Colfax Avenue in Lakewood. Pearson Grove, located near Garrison Street and West Colfax, is slated to open later this year offering townhomes in the $300s. Both neighborhoods will offer new townhome plans and a rare opportunity to buy new in a mature area of West Metro Denver, conveniently located near RTD Light Rail.

In late summer, Century Communities anticipates the opening of Belleview Place in Aurora located near East Belleview Avenue and Parker Road. This new community will offer low-maintenance townhomes in the $300s. With its easy access to Cherry Creek State Park, RTD's Light Rail and shopping, Belleview Place will be a hit with younger families and couples of all ages who value a vibrant social scene and leisure-intensive lifestyles.

With an expected September opening, the ParkView neighborhood at Candelas will feature townhomes from the mid-$300s in the beautifully designed master-planned community, including easy access to playgrounds, parks and trails. Century Communities already offers single-family homes in CanyonView priced from the $400s with home sizes ranging from 1,870 to 3,147 sq. ft.

Also, in September, Century Communities expects to open Alder Village near E470 and South Chambers Road in Parker. This all-new neighborhood will offer ranch and two-story duplexes, from the builder's designs at Wild Grass in Colorado Springs, priced in the upper $300s. These homes will include two to four bedrooms and two to 3.5 baths along with two-car garages, perfect for families with school-aged kids or couples looking for a low-maintenance lifestyle.

Finally, later this year, Century Communities plans new condominiums starting in the $300s at Littleton Village located at Broadway and Dry Creek Road in Littleton. This master-planned community includes a pocket park and planned shopping center and provides another opportunity to purchase close to downtown in an area where new-home construction is relatively scarce.

"We're very excited to expand our new-home offerings in the metro-Denver area, particularly at a time when buyers face low inventory and stiff competition from others interested in purchasing," said Mulqueen.
