Holly Point is in Thornton, Colorado, about 15 miles north of Denver — and it's full of that classic suburban charm. “When you think about family-friendly, this area is what comes to mind,” says Charlie Belger of JPAR Modern Real Estate, who is also a Thornton native. “There are always people out using the walking paths and walking by all the nice lakes that are in the area. It’s just calm.” The neighborhood is a cluster of homes surrounded by parks and green spaces. While completely residential, Holly Point is near major shopping areas, public schools and highways that lead to nearby major cities.

Homes from the 1990s on quiet roads

The majority of houses are vinyl-sided tri-level builds from the 1990s that range in price from $520,000 to $635,000. “The market is crazy here, so when things go up for sale they tend to go pretty quickly,” says Belger. Homes have private driveways and attached multicar garages. Trees are plentiful in the neighborhood and houses feature front yards and fenced-in backyards.
