A diverse and established housing scene

“It’s a peaceful area mostly made up of homes,” says Gina Moritzky, an experienced Aurora-area Realtor with eXp Realty. “And it’s a very diverse community in terms of housing. You’ve got condos, townhomes and single-family homes.” Most single-family homes in Centre Pointe were built between the late 1970s and early 1980s. Colonial Revivals, split-levels and ranch-style homes line the streets, some featuring Tudor-style accents, and houses often have spacious, fenced-in backyards shaded by mature trees. There are also a handful of multifamily complexes built in the 1980s and early 2000s, including Tollgate Creek townhomes and Sierra Ridge, both offering two- and three-bedroom units. Single-family homes start in the upper $300,000s and reach the mid-$500,000s, while condos and townhouses range from the upper $200,000s to around $400,000.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The townhomes were built back in 2004 so they are fairly new and good quality.
