As confidence returns to our market, attractive pricing and record low interest rates have created the ultimate time to invest in a new home. 
“We had been looking for several months, but we fell in love with the ranch floor plan the first time we stepped into the show home,” says Ken Mason, who together with his wife Jean chose the Nantucket plan at The Cottages at Erie Village. “It has plenty of useable space, and a dormer window that allows plenty of natural light and a spacious feel in the kitchen area. Our home is next to open space and has a nice view of the Front Range. It’s still in Boulder County, but the drive has a nice country feel to it.”
“We couldn’t be happier for the Masons,” says community manager Bill Besher. “They are another fantastic addition to a wonderful community that’s full of friendly neighbors. Ken and Jean have already met a handful of their neighbors and I see them sharing laughs almost every time they stop by to check on the progress of their home.
“The best part of what we do at Boulder Creek isn’t just building great homes,” he adds. “It’s building great communities, and that’s exactly what we have at 
Erie Village.”
Residents at The Cottages at Erie Village enjoy classic, colorful Craftsman homes, each with a welcoming front porch, set-back garage and private patio space. Mature trees and picket fences line the streets and pedestrian trails wind through the neighborhood. The location provides semi-rural living that is still just minutes from shopping, recreation and enticing city amenities.
Erie Village’s low-maintenance living takes care of all exterior maintenance, snow removal and lawn and landscape care, allowing homeowners to enjoy their free time.
“I’m used to doing all the maintenance, but this ‘lock and leave’ lifestyle is going to be nice,” Mason says.
The Masons needed to sell their current single-family home to make the move. Despite perceptions that it is difficult to sell a home right now, Ken says that their experience was very positive. “We made sure our house showed well. Working with the Realtor recommended by Boulder Creek, we had a solid offer within the first week.”
Like each of the communities that Boulder Creek develops, all homes in Erie Village are constructed to Built Green standards, with 2-by-6 wall construction, Low-E Argon-filled windows, advanced insulation package with R-23 walls and R-38 ceilings, Energy Star appliances and high-efficiency heating and cooling systems.
One of the benefits of buying a home “from dirt” is the opportunity to choose the features and finishes that turn a new house into a home. “We had a few special requests,” Ken Mason says. “We asked for a wider window on one wall. We needed a wider garage door to accommodate our boat. And we added a pocket door for the bathroom, and every step of the way Boulder Creek has been very accommodating.” Mason says they have been quite satisfied with the cost and very pleased with the craftsmanship.
Choosing their own finishes and fixtures was also a delight. “The design center was a lot of fun to work with, very helpful. We could bounce things like color combinations off them. They helped us narrow down our choices but it didn’t feel overwhelming. We got to pick out our hickory hardwood floors, alder cabinets, and granite countertops. And of course we got to choose all the wall colors.
“We’ve watched other models like ours being built, and now we’re seeing ours, and it’s exciting.”

Rows of colorful Victorian and Craftsman homes line quiet streets bordered with mature trees and white-picket fences. A mother watches her two children at play in the community park. An actively retired couple rolls by on cruiser bikes, headed up the greenbelt path to the Erie recreation center. One homeowner tells me, “It’s so quiet, we can hear coyotes at night from our porch.” 

It’s classic Americana, updated for the way we live today. You won’t find any home owners out raking leaves. No climbing ladders to clean gutters, or touching up the paint. Boulder Creek Life and Home’s Cottages at Erie Village gives owners the freedom of a lock-and-leave lifestyle, with all maintenance managed by the homeowners’ association.

Boulder Creek Life and Home’s Cottages at Erie Village gives owners the freedom of a lock-and-leave lifestyle, with all maintenance managed by the homeowners’ association. 
But the Cottages at Erie Village are anything but sleepy. Beneath the neighborhood’s timeless architecture and undeniable street appeal beats a sense of optimism and excitement fueled by strong home sales as the Boulder Creek Life and Home community approaches its final phases. “With 10 homes sold this summer alone and some of our best homesites opening up for sale, it’s an exciting time at Erie Village,” says Bill Besher, Erie Village Community sales manager. But market recovery isn’t the best part of Besher’s job: “I can’t tell you how good it feels to help people into homes they could only dream about a few short months ago.” 
  What’s the secret behind Erie Village’s appeal? “People really like the efficient use of space in these homes,” says Karen Sanders, sales associate at The Cottages at Erie Village. “From the ranch-style New Haven to the two-story Camden, our largest home, they are looking for quality construction that isn’t compromised, no matter what size the home is.” 
An environmentally friendly neighborhood is important to owners at The Cottages, and all homes are constructed to Built Green standards. “I drive a hybrid car,” says one resident, “and the Built Green designation was a very big part of our home choice. There’s a really broad selection of options and finishes to choose from nowadays. We all have to look at ways to live well while managing our impact on the environment. We have an efficient house that’s easy to heat and cool. We have great windows, so we get a lot of light, too.” 
 “It’s a desirable location, great neighborhood and the prices are very attractive,” says Sanders. “And we’re seeing this kind of response from all kinds of families: working professionals, downsizers, retired couples … we have two families with small children. They all love the low- maintenance living here.”
