Kipling Hills offers a calm atmosphere near parks and retail
South of Lakewood, Kipling Hills is a highly residential neighborhood with mature trees that give it a well-established feel. Housing options include single-family homes in subdivisions as well as townhouse and condo communities. Some homes are part of a homeowners association, and all of them share access to a large green space in the neighborhood’s central region. Local thoroughfares provide access to retail, public transit and restaurants.
Types of homes available in Kipling Hills and their pricing
Many single-family homes are in cul-de-sacs within subdivisions such as Kipling Villas and Woodmar. Architecture varies from brick ranch-style homes to split-levels and contemporary multistory homes with a mixed exterior composition of brick and panels. Single-family home prices range from the lower $400,000s to the lower $700,000s. “The homes here are a little older, and some might need updating, but you can get a really good deal,” says Realtor Melinda Sanders with eXp Realty, who has over seven years of experience. “There is a good variety of residents who have been here since the [19]70s, all the way up to first-time homebuyers who are finding it affordable to move here now.” Many New Traditional townhouses are also in the area, with prices ranging from the lower $300,000s to the lower $500,000s.

Homeowners associations are present, and some are voluntary
If a homeowners association oversees the subdivisions, then residents may need to pay additional fees. “Every townhome community or condo area will have an HOA… If it’s a single-family home, there are usually covenants, at least, and then small HOAs if there is an HOA. Quite often, there isn’t an HOA in the single-family home communities,” says Realtor Mary McCullough with Home Smart, who has over 19 years of experience. The Kipling Villas Homeowners Association is voluntary, so the $40 annual fee to fund improvements and events is optional. Some townhouses are in the Kipling Sun Townhomes community, which has a monthly HOA fee of approximately $450. Monthly assessments cover costs for snow removal, recycling and ground maintenance. The Lexington Village Homeowners Association has similar responsibilities, and its monthly payment is about $330.
