Recreation and trails are top draws in Willow Trace
When you move to Willow Trace, “you better get on your hiking shoes, your bike, or grab your golf clubs or kayak,” says Realtor Sean Closset with Coldwell Banker Realty. Closset lives in the neighborhood, was born and raised in the area, and has been selling real estate locally for more than 20 years. He also leads his own team at Coldwell. “People come here for the weather, the recreation and the trails,” he says. “There are golf courses everywhere, and the Aurora Reservoir is only 6 miles away.” Whether it’s the homes, the schools or recreational opportunities, Willow Trace has them all.
For golf, residents head south to Saddle Rock Golf Course.

Large homes with garages and fresh landscaping line the streets
The homes, too, are an important part of the neighborhood’s appeal. Large, single-family contemporary homes, mostly two-story, with prominent two and three-car garages, wood and brick siding, and front-facing gables that give them a storybook appearance, sell for between $450,000 and $700,000. “These are prices appropriate for starter homes,” Closset says. “Plus, they’re right down the street from the elementary, middle and high schools, all within a quarter mile — a selling point for many families.” Town houses are also available, priced in the $400,000s, that offer two and three bedrooms, many with two-car garages, an unusual feature. The streets of this relatively new subdivision, developed in the early 2000s, feature fresh and well-tended lawns. The landscaping incorporates stone and gravel, giving yards a clean, minimalist look. With organic bends and curves, multi-car garages on every block and few cars on the street, the neighborhood has a quiet, neat appearance that suggests everything is in its place. In addition, “most homes in Willow Trace have new roofs,” Closset says. “A major hailstorm hit the neighborhood over the summer prompting the improvements.”
