Have you ever wished for a neighborhood where it felt like a vacation destination instead of the average cookie-cutter subdivision that pops up overnight?  Maybe someplace where some extra attention to detail went into the planning so that real people can live their real lives there?  Instead of the make-do for-now house, you could finally settle in and call a place a true home?  Look no further, because it's actually here.  Maybe right under your nose even!  Southshore in Southeast Aurora was named the National Community Of The Year and hosted the annual tradition to look forward to here in Colorado, The Parade Of Homes in 2007.  Since then, many families have discovered that this wonderfully master-planned community is a true hidden gem. Built right off of the Aurora Reservoir, this c...

As a Realtor who works a great deal with families with children and have two amazing kids myself, I know that it's on the top of the priority list to find a home within an outstanding school district.  I also know that finding that home in a great price point is an added bonus.  Dovetail that with being close to brand new shopping areas, restaurants, and easy access to major roadways, and you have a winner! Where in the Denver-Metro Area could this find be?  An area that is only 20 minutes to the Denver Tech Center, 20 minutes to DIA, and a hop-skip-and a jump to one of Colorado's best reservoirs? Southeast Aurora!  Surprised?  That's okay... read on and learn what others are finding out too! Many people inadvertently think that Aurora's boundaries are much smaller than they actually ar...

Last week was the Grand Opening of the new 24 hour Super Sport in Centennial, Colorado.  I was able to get a sneak peek of the club the day before because I decided to torture myself through a 2 hour kick boxing class.  I took a few pictures that I would like to share with you.  I am little perturbed though because I have been a 24 hour fitness member for years and because this is a Super Sport there is an additional $10.00 per month surcharge which I am not totally convinced yet If I want to pay that.  Is it worth a couple of new machines and a juice bar???  The club is beautiful though, but pretty much seem to have the same equipment as the regular sports.   There are 2 swimming pools instead of the usual only 1 pool, there are racquet ball courts which the sports do not have and indo...

An article from the Rocky Mountain News, reports that the busiest home-construction site in the Denver area this week may be a stretch of road east of Interstate 225 and north of Colfax Avenue in Aurora.  As part of the Habitat for Humanity Home Builders Blitz 2008, Renaissance Homes started a seven-day project to build four starter homes along East 18th Place.  In addition to Renaissance, others participating are Fuller Custom Homes, Sattler Homes, Malibu Homes, Austin Signature Homes and Harvard Communities.  According to Heather Lafferty, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver, building the small, energy-efficient homes normally would take three months.  In regards to the builders, she said, "On one hand, they are not quite as busy as usual, so it's easier to find...

Ok so I had I new diet ice cream, well frozen yogurt. ( almost ice cream, right???)  At the Cold Stone in Southlands Mall located on the south side they have a new Healthy indulgence product called: Nrgize yogurt, and only has a whopping 25 calories a serving!!!!!.  You can also mix anything into it you want. (but this doesn't mean chocolate chips, Oreo cookies, nuts and caramel :), then you are defeating the purpose)  But you know maybe some fruit and nuts, that would be satisfying.  I am not sure of it gave me energy though.  But check it out.  Also don't forget when it is your birthday you get a free ice cream there!!

I have been doing Mat Pilates for several years but I have been wanting to try the reformer for quite sometime now.  My sister in law, Mandy and I actually got in touch with Parker Pilates through a broker open house that had vendors there.  We have taken 2 duet reformer classes.  2 people with one instructor for about an hour.  This is our instructor Joanie.  She has been an amazing instructor.  The studio is located at Parker and Twenty Mile behind the vitamin cottage.  The studio is very calming and serene.  After 2 private duet classes we are ready for the regular reformer classes.  Since they only have 4 reformers the classes are always small and you can get alot of personal instruction.  After both classes my core was really tight and sore the next day.  I also felt lengthened and...

I got turned on to a great website: www.walkscore.com How It Works Walk Score helps people find walkable places to live. Walk Score calculates the walk-ability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc. Walk Score measures how easy it is to live a car-lite lifestyle-not how pretty the area is for walking.  -walkscore   The site will score the address from 1 to 100, if your address is totally car dependent or you can walk to everything you need.  Of course this would be a more appropriate tool for a listing that has a high score, but it will also give you a list of the nearest grocery store, gas stations, banks, etc and exactly how many miles it is from the address.  Great for someone who is new to the neighborhood.   The other thing I liked was they promo...

For all you locals around zip code 80016, just wanted to let you know about one of my favorite local Italian restaurants.  Armando's.  Well all the dishes are fab, I love the ciopinno (a seafood like stew in a tomato base), served up with a side of garlic bread.  My husband usually goes for the heavier dishes like chicken breast stiffed with cheese, garlic and spinach in a cream sauce, yum.  Oh and their garlic knots are to die for.  Skip the soup and salad, not that great and the main portions are huge so you do not need them.  Grab a glass of wine though,  pours a nice sized glass cost about $5.00.  Be prepped to wait to be seated when you get there.  Most times there is a wait but usually not more than 20 minutes.  And if you love pizza this is the place for the best deep dish.  Orde...

To all my fellow neighbors if you don't know I will tell you a smoking deal on Movie Tickets.  If you go between the hours of 4 and 6 to a movie at Southlands Shopping center in Aurora, CO, 80016. you will get your movie tickets for $5.50 and kids under 2 are free.  Since we are all trying to do the little things to save an extra a buck or two I thought some of my fellow greenfield residents would appreciate this if you didn't know. See ya at the movies (from 4 to 6 pm that is) Check out their site at : http://www.shopsouthlands.com/
