The Dam West and 2nd Generationers

The Dam West was built by Writer Homes from 1970-1973.  Denver native George Writer built nearly 10,000 homes in Colorado and was known for his exceptionally well planned communities.  The Dam West is no exception, with Polton Community School, 24 acres of green belts throughout the neighborhood, all of the amenities combined with Writer’s architectural style, the community is timeless. 

Timeless? The proof is in the numbers of second generation buyers moving back to the Dam West.  With this most recent Perry & Co closing at 2888 S. Oakland Cir E, there are now nine buyers that were raised in the neighborhood that have moved back (sure says something about the fond memories we must all have).  Being located in the highly desirable Cherry Creek School District, makes this a great family neighborhood.  The award winning schools, the neighborhood pool, tennis courts, club house, Easter Egg hunt, and July 4^th celebration all contribute to the attractiveness of the Dam West neighborhood.  Extremely close to many transportation arteries; I-225, Parker Road, the 9-Mile Light Rail Station plus the Cherry Creek State Park Recreation area.

 My family and I moved back last year, the schools, pool and central location were the main reasons.  So, I’m happy to be a 2^nd generation resident as well.  If you need any assistance in the Dam West, real estate or not, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
