Suburban living south of Denver in a premium location
Just 10 miles south of Denver, Colorado, Sheridan is a family-friendly suburb that offers relatively affordable housing and "A premium location near major highways and popular shopping areas that are a draw for the whole area," says Jonny Abens, a Denver resident who has sold homes as a Realtor with Century 21 since 2020. As part of the rapidly expanding Denver metropolitan area, Sheridan is also quickly growing; before 2007, there was only a neglected landfill where the popular River Point shopping center now stands and, as a town of its own, residents can find multiple options for school and a selection of local parks all in the neighborhood. "Sheridan is a unique niche of the Denver metro with a down-to-earth community where people feel safe and are friendly with their neighbors," says Abens, adding that they get together every year for events such as the Sheridan Celebrates festival, which has a parade, live music and kid-friendly attractions. In addition to popular stores, residents also have quick access to areas like Englewood and South Broadway, so residents can easily go out for a night at a cute bar or trendy restaurant. When people move to Sheridan, they find a welcoming community, affordable homes and "Convenient proximity to major highways so, in 15 minutes, residents can take Santa Fe Drive and be in downtown Denver, or take US highway 285 straight out west to the Rockies," says Abens.

Affordable, mid-century and manufactured homes south of Denver
With such a convenient location, "single-family homes in Sheridan are rare finds- when people find them, they hold on," says Abens, adding that he "recommends Sheridan to first-time homebuyers for its great location nearby popular shopping destinations at lower prices than surrounding areas." With an average sales price of about $446,000, homes in Sheridan are, on average, $150,000 dollars less than those in the surrounding Arapahoe County Area, yet offer more space than homebuyers would find looking closer to downtown. Along the neighborhood's serene, flat streets and shallow curbs, residents will find tidy, well-kept lawns on quarter to half-acre lots and mostly mid-century homes with some new construction also providing a modern touch. Single-family homes in the neighborhood range from three-bedroom cottages selling for as low as $330,000 to four-bedroom, mid-century bungalow and ranch-style homes featuring original wood panel and brick construction, selling for about $495,000. Six-bedroom traditional-style homes can also be found and, depending on floor plan and construction, can range upwards of $700,000 dollars. Two manufactured home communities, Bear Creek Village and Ridgeline at River Run offer relatively affordable living for residents who are 55 and up. These HOA-free, lot-rent parks are "Full of quickly-selling manufactured homes and offer lots of amenities in a peaceful, sleepy little area," says Bill Hubbell, another Realtor who has sold homes in the southwest Denver area since 1998. Prospective homebuyers can find clean-cut, pastel-shaded homes ranging from two-bedroom options selling for $135,500 to three-bedroom homes selling for $168,500.
