Well-known neighborhood with a convenient location

With Louisville’s city center to the east and rural farmland to the west, Paragon Estates is a quiet suburban neighborhood close to city conveniences. “It’s all about the views. It’s got stadium views of the front range, and you have the accessibility to everything that is Boulder and Louisville,” says Real Estate Associate Paul Dart with RE/MAX of Boulder, who has over 25 years of experience and grew up in Paragon Estates.

Luxury estates on large lots

Many of the original homes in Paragon Estates were built in the 1960s, including multi-story Craftsman and ranch-style homes. These properties sell for $1 million to $1.8 million. “There are some homes here that are older, but a lot of the homes are being rebuilt,” says Realtor Christy Watson with Keller Williams Preferred Realty, who has almost 10 years of experience. Newer luxury estates with Craftsman features such as pointed roofs, front gables, patios and picture windows are getting built in place of the older properties. According to Dart, it’s common for homebuyers to purchase a house to have the acreage and completely remodel it. “People are typically buying for the land and not the homes here. You know a neighborhood is valued when someone comes in and buys a house just to knock it down.” These new estates span 4,500 to 6,500 square feet and cost between $3.5 million to $6.2 million.

Additionally, vacant land lots are common in the neighborhood and prime for new construction. These lots range from three-quarters of an acre to 2 acres and are priced around $995,000 to $2 million. With properties as spread out as they are, the neighborhood gains a sense of privacy and security. As such, the CAP Index crime score for Paragon Estates is 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.
