Welcome to another installment of the Peterson AFB Real Estate Minute!
Today I'd like to cover the topic of New Homes.
I've blogged a few times about the Banning Lewis Ranch Community. Why? It seems a lot of my Colorado Springs Military Relocation clients gravitate to that community. After looking at all the resale homes (previously owned) they start to see the same thing over and over again. And it's true. You can get some great deals and great housing in the Powers Corridor and Briargate neighborhoods. 
What differentiates Banning Lewis is the Community aspect. They have a ton of trails and park space in their first small subdivision (North Tree.) They also mandate front yard landscaping and varying the models and exterior finishing of homes (stucco, stone, siding) so each street looks like a symphony of colors and textures. And of course, there's the Ranch House itself, with an great outdoor fireplace and lounge, Jr Olympic-sized swimming pool, picnic area with large gas grills and brand new tennis courts.
To top it all off, this community has a D-49 Charter School for kids K-8. That makes it pretty darn appealing for anyone with kids. If you're in the market to buy, now's a time to get some great deals out there, too. It's definitely a buyer's market when it comes to new homes.
A quick word of advice if you want to go look: take a Realtor with you (if you're seriously considering a home.) The builder reps in Banning Lewis are all wonderful people (I've become friends with quite a few from all the time I've spent out there.) Just realize that ultimately they represent the Builder's best interests. Take someone with you who represents you and your family's interest.
So that's it! The reasons why Banning Lewis Ranch has been such a popular choice for my clients that have been looking at Peterson AFB Real Estate.
