It seems like we’ve all been waiting for years for Parker’s new reservoir – Reuter Hess – to open. Well, we have since construction started in 2008. TeamCox Realtors did a little research on the status of Douglas County’s grandiose new reservoir’s construction to keep everyone updated. The reservoir will eventually hold drinking water for Castle Rock, Parker, Castle Pines North and other local municipalities. According to the Parker Water and Sanitation District, The State Engineers Office of Dam Safety approved a request in February allowing the first water to be stored in Reuter-Hess.

Wednesday, 4/30/2010 I helped another EchoStar executive relocate to the Denver area with his family.  This time we scoured most of the Parker and Castle Rock areas searching for some acreage and a larger single family home.  They ended up in the Spirit Ridge area of Parker, CO.  This is one of my favorite places for families who want a custom home with some land.  Despite Wells Fargo's efforts to rain on our parade with last minute amendments, paperwork and late funding; we got it closed and everyone was in good spirits.  This is yet another EchoStar Relocation deal I have done, and relocation real estate is my primary niche in Denver.  I have helped many of the large employers in Denver with their relocation real estate, usually by helping employees find homes and neighborhoods they l... 04/30/2010

    Skate Park in Parker CO.   It’s been a truly epic, sick, totally cool, rad, wicked, tweaked day at the Parker Skate Park. Parker Colorado built a new skate park a few years ago and it seems to be a hit with the kids. I’ve been here with my 5 year old at least 20 times over the past 2 years and there is always at least a few kids here skating, biking or riding scooters. Good job Parker, Colorado! Sometimes it gets pretty crowded. My take on bringing kids here is that it is a great place to come. There is a massive pool area for the kids to ride in and ramps, rails, benches, stairs, drops and mini pools for them to enjoy. I guess about anything a skater, biker or scooter rider could want. “My son just turned 5 a month ago and he’s been coming here for a few years and loves it.”   READ... 04/21/2010

What is going on with Hess Road? There have been rumblings throughout Parker and Douglas County for years about the fate of Hess Road. It is a work in progress, and it will eventually open up a major traffic artery to Parker and Castle Rock residents once it is finished. Parker residents, especially those in Stroh Ranch, Canterberry Crossing, and Horse Creek, were thrilled with the recent completion of a large stretch of Hess Road in Parker. There hasn’t been much noticeable activity since then, so now what? Douglas County recently began construction on the east phase of Hess Road to I-25. As a result, it will close Hess Road west of Chambers Road to the Great Plains Way intersection in Parker until mid-June.
