Oakwood Propaganda


This was posted to Youtube on 5/29/20 so it is very new.  It is less than 3 minutes long and it will make you feel happy and want to move there so watch it. 

One little complaint: the title says "Green Valley Ranch Aurora", whereas everyone knows that Green Valley Ranch is in Denver, and Picadilly Road is the dividing line between Denver and Aurora, so this is not actually in Green Valley Ranch but near it. 


Oakwood Homes

Oakwood Homes is building several new housing developments east of Picadilly Road near Green Valley Ranch:  Retreat Collection at the Reserve;  Horizon Collection at Green Valley Ranch / Meridian Collection at Green Valley Ranch; and Carriage House at Green Valley Ranch.  They are also developing "The Enclave at Green Valley Ranch".  Also "The American Dream" and "Fairway Villas (55+)" (made up of Bungalows and Villas at Fairway Villas) are close by. 

And don't forget Commerce City: Sterling Collection at Reunion, Meridian Collection at Reunion, and Carriage House at Reunion.  And of course Adonea, which I have mentioned before.  And if you want to go farther afield, they are also building in Erie Highlands.   These are all so new that they don't show up on Google Maps, and their website has very little information.  So there could be a whole series of articles about these, which I may or may not make.  Stay tuned.

Harmony Park


Inside this finger of land between E Alameda Avenue and Robertsdale Street is a very cool park, with a nice playground for kids and a nice walking trail around it.  The houses on Scottsburg just to the west of the park are all model homes for the new Harmony subdivision that is being built.

What is interesting is that on three sides this is surrounded by farmlands and on the 4th side to the north is vacant land ready to build homes on.  I love this park and give it an A on my list of exurban parks.

Future Walmart at Jewell and E-470

I don't know if the Walmart is planned or if this is just an example of what someone thinks could be built there.  The site marked in red is for sale for $3.7 million.  It seems kind of pricey for an awkward piece of land,  but it is still cheaper than other retail land in Aurora.  Anyways, the Walmart caught my attention.  Maybe this will be built in 20 years.
