Making an Offer
All that talk about how we hate Highlands Ranch and Shea Homes and the ‘burbs, and we decided on a house just a mile away… in Highlands Ranch. But it’s not a Shea home! But I suppose since we’re staying in Highlands Ranch, we’re still hypocrites and deserve to be flogged for making this decision, but the lure of the convenience and affordability of Highlands Ranch sucked us in and wouldn’t let go. Here are a few reasons why we’re deciding to stay here:
- Close to family
- Good schools within walking distance
- Close to open space, riding trails and state parks
- Quiet neighborhood
- Nice, large house with a fantastic layout, built by a builder we respect (although the yard will need some work)
- Nice loft
- A great kitchen
- Enough upgrades to give the home some character without making it pretentious or overly expensive
We’re making an offer this afternoon. I hope this goes well. We really want to get this selling, buying and over with so we can get on with our lives.
