Why People Love Prospect; Longmont Colorado

A newer subdivision along the Front Range of Longmont Colorado that needs your attention is Prospect; a part of Boulder County.  After recently hosting an open house at our newest listing, I truly discovered that people love this neighborhood.  Curious neighbors and potential homebuyers couldn’t stop the positive comments about wanting to live and loving to live in Prospect Colorado.  Find out why… 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes referred to as a neo-traditional community, Prospectis located on an 80 acre tree farm which developer,  Kiki Wallace , bought from his family.  His dream was to build a distinctive project that would minimize negative impacts on the land.  And according to Linda Keseric, this New Urbanist community features narrow, tree lined streets connecting homes to numerous parks and public amenities, shops, and offices. Home types include detached houses, townhouses, courtyard houses, apartments, and live/work lofts. Mature trees have been planted along Prospects streets and in its parks to provide the shade and privacy typical of an established community.

You know, there are numerous arguments out there stating that because of poor city planning, riding bikes and taking buses becomes more of a challenge.  That is why neo-traditional communities incorporate the necessity to  reduce car use into the planning of roads and shopping. An ingenious idea!  And talk about a diverse mixture of colors throughout the community.  It’s bright with varying textures and architectural styles and sizes.  Prospect is perfect for everyone…seniors, families, singles and pets!  You can easily walk anywhere.

I enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and chatting with the locals.  Everyone was so friendly; the community was bustling with shoppers, families, bikers, and lots of dogs.  I stopped at Vic’s Coffee shop and had one terrific breakfast burrito.  They are more reputable for their great tasting coffee – definitely a local favorite!  Other places to enjoy include Two Dog Diner,  The Rib House, and Caper’s & Co.   Other places you must visit are Sushi Jianken, Prospect Flower Shop, and Tusk Lounge.

Our new listing is in the perfect location within walking distance to shops and restaurants.  Quick and easy access to Main Street in Longmont for any commuters and it’s close to Boulder, Union Reservoir, and Denver. 

Built on extra lot, this home provides a large, fenced yard with a carriage house.  This  brings in additional income of $1300 per  month.

 

The gourmet kitchen is fabulous with top of the line appliances and a center island that makes a magnificent statement. 

Almost every room invites you to the outside through many french doors, patios & balconies.

There are 3 fireplaces, two 2 car garages + added parking pad. The finished basement has a family room with a fireplace, bedroom and bath. 

The 3rd level offers an extra bedroom or bonus playroom/office. 

The property on Neon Forest is over 3700 square feet! 

Spacious, open, sunny and spectacular – just like the entire neighborhood of Prospect.  Let us help you find out more about this great community!
