Boulder Creek Community

Boulder, Colorado,

United States

(The creekfront doorway to the Rocky Mountains, 30 minutes north of Denver)

Boulder Creek Community, in Boulder, Colorado, at the doorway to the Rocky Mountains, combines great weather, the best of Boulder urban "walk/bike-to- everything" conveniences with a unique "more-affordable" living choice.....in a matured development, for proactive, participating adults, seniors,and families.

UNIQUE CHOICE OF MORE AFFORDABLE LIVING THROUGH PARTICIPATION: We are a group of caring, self-aware, community- minded, condominium owners who are providing opportunities to buy (50% or 100% ownership)or rent a limited supply of existing 1, 2, & 3 bedroom condos at costs that can, through community participation, be 20% to 60% less than you would normally pay for condo ownership in this desirable location. Ask about financing.

BEST OF BOULDER URBAN LIVING CONVENIENCES: Our community includes access to a complete health club with indoor pool, hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, work out room, tennis and more. We ae located next to a park with an Olympic sized pool, playground, skate park and baseball field.

You can walk or bike....without crossing a street....in 5 to 15 minutes, along the beautiful, adjacent, 10 mile long Boulder Creek Bike/Hike Path, to: shopping, theater, University of Colorado, Naropa Univ., many cultural events, the farmers market, library, hospital.

OUR VALUES (YOUR VALUES?): Would you like to combine privacy with living near, and participating with, a group of caring, inclusive, multi-generational, environmentally proactive, fun-loving people who are committed to their personal growth, spiritual self-awareness, community service, heart-centered communications, learning and to graceful aging for all ages?

Are you willing to rent for 6 to 12 months, before buying, to see if this community is what you want?

BUILT AND BEAUTIFUL: Surrounded by mature trees, flowers, lawn and creeks, these existing, quality condos are built and ready to enjoy (see BoulderCreek Community.com for availability) .....allowing more time for co-creating community activities without the costs, risks and stresses of building new structures.

COMMON HOUSE/GUEST APARTMENT: A small furnished and equipped common house with guest room and gas fireplace is available to community members and their guests.

FINANCING OPTIONS: Unlike new community construction your financing costs can be fairly accurately known before you commit yourself to this community. Owner financing may also be available for some condos...at reasonable interest rates and reduced closing costs. Ask about this.

SUSTAINABILITY: Community sustainability and condo marketability are generated through deed restrictions. This makes it financially more affordable for the community to buy community condos from departing community members and rent to perspective buyers to try out our community life prior to buying. Renting before buying reduces new buyer financial risks and community commitment risks. 'Taste test' our community for 6 to 12 months before you choose to buy. It's good for all of us.
