When searching for a home in the Denver suburbs, school boundaries are sometimes a very important qualifier for the search location. While Colorado is an open enrollment state, the opportunity to enroll children at any public school only exists if there is room. Some schools are at or near capacity, and living within the school's geographic boundaries can sometimes be the only or best way to be certain of enrollment. Additionally, if you do not live within the school boundaries, school bus will not be a transportation option for you. Buffalo Ridge is a K - 6 school in Castle Pines Village (mailing address Castle Rock) and part of the Douglas County School District. Buffalo Ridge is on the "Conventional" / traditional school calendar. It is one of the few in the area on the conventional ... 04/17/2011

Looks like the new Centura Health ER/hospital project is moving along nicely in the Meadows in Castle Rock! Centura Health broke ground on the new  hospital with a Est. completion of phase 1 in late 2011. The main entrance of the hospital will be off of Meadows Parkway and occupy the entire intersection of Meadows Parkway and Meadows Blvd.  Directly north of the AMC Movie Theatre.

Keene Ranch Subdivision Castle Rock Colorado Have you ever heard the song from Camelot that went something like "If ever I should leave you, it would never be in 'fill in the season'"?? Well, fall is never a time to consider leaving Keene Ranch Subdivision! The colors in the fall are spectacular!

Thinking of buying a home in the Castle Rock area? Avoid feeling like a fish out of water! That's what it's like when you are thinking about buying a home without being prequalified by a lender first! Here are 5 reasons you need to be prequalified before you get in the car and start looking for a new home:   1)  Know how much you qualify for! Nothing worse than falling in love with a home only to find out you don't qualify for the monthly payment. 2)  Take time to find a lender your trust! Contrary to popular belief, all lenders are not created equal. If you're not sure how to interview a lender, call me and ask me to send you a copy of my "How to PreQual Your Lender!" form. 3)  You need at least a prequalification letter from your lender. Most real estate agents won't even take an off... 10/05/2010

The elk are bugling already in Keene Ranch subdivision Castle Rock Colorado When the elk start bugling, it's usually considered a "fall thing". We heard our first bugling here in Keene Ranch over a week ago, if you can believe that! My first thought: oh, no! It's too early for that already. Reminds me of a game we used to play when we were little: "ready or not, here I come"! I'm going to miss driving home and seeing the deer nibbling on the horse mint (my favorite wild flower in Keene Ranch!) See the picture here with a nice buck (still in velvet) surprised that I caught him munching on the flowers! I'm not ready to have anything to do with fall yet! Goodness, we just finally got the summer going! Afterall, my pumpkin vines don't even have any pumpkins growing??? I've had plenty of the... 09/10/2010
