Homes near the Quincy Reservoir and their price ranges

New Traditional architecture is prominent on streets with single-family homes and among clusters of condos and townhouses near the Quincy Reservoir. Single-family home prices range from the upper $200,000s to the upper $700,000s. Townhouses are priced between the mid $200,000s and the mid $400,000s; meanwhile, condos go from the lower $200,000s to the high $200,000s. “A lot of them even back up to the water. They have some walking paths, and people really enjoy being close to that reserve. That’s what I’d say is probably one of the main selling features,” says Cindy Dassinger, the owner and broker at Metro Home Finders, Inc., who has over two decades of experience. “The average price per square foot is starting to get a little higher […] People started to say, ‘Oh my gosh, I can go somewhere and live close to the water,’ which there aren’t that many options here in Colorado.”

Several homeowners associations are in Prides Crossing

Condo and townhouse communities, including Lake Pointe and Meadow Point Condominiums, are often governed by homeowners associations. Annual assessments vary from community to community, as do the availability of recreational features. Most developments’ HOAs collect the dues to fund projects such as ground maintenance and trash services.

Playgrounds, athletic facilities and Quincy Reservoir are nearby

Bellewood Park has a playground, and Marina Park is home to two baseball fields. Aqua Vista Park includes tennis courts, play structures and an outdoor pool. Dogs kick up dirt and climb different obstacles at the 34-acre Grandview Dog Park. A nature trail loops around Quincy Reservoir. “It's not someplace like Cherry Creek Reservoir, where you could ride a speedboat down it, or you know that you're pulling inner tubes and water skiing and stuff like that […] Quincy Reservoir is more like a community reservoir — smaller, more quaint, quiet fishing. You would find people walking their dogs around there,” Dassinger says.

Prides Crossing is a walkable community with plenty of paved sidewalks.

Colorado is a great place for everyone. I love it. Having the mountains so close creates a culture of outdoor-loving people as well as an overall healthier community. We've seen a lot of growth here over the past few years, people from all over the country moving here to enjoy the Colorado life. Overall the climate is also great. Some cold and/or hot spells here and there, but overall very stable seasons.
