Get to Know Us!

We dream of waking up and taking our dogs for a walk or run, or for a romp at the dog park, chatting with neighbors we meet along the way. Afterwards, we might go to the Common House for a workout or yoga session and then get a cup of espresso and a light breakfast in the common house dining room. There, we might chat with a couple of friends and check in with the kiddos at the preschool. Later, we could work at one of the tables upstairs or have a meeting in a huddle space at the Common House for a couple of hours. Our neighbors who work outside the community might drop their younger children off at the preschool and grab a cup of coffee before catching the bus or taking one of the community EVs to work. School age children might walk together to the local elementary behind the community or join with a home school group for daily lessons in the Common House.

In the summer, those of us who are retired might walk over to the community garden and help with pulling weeds and maintenance and then gather some vegetables for lunch. Walking home, we might sit on one of the shaded benches and watch some of the neighborhood children playing on the climbing structures before continuing to our personal house. In the winter, we might hangout in the hearth room reading a book by the fire or work on various arts & crafts projects in the Maker Space. If it's cold enough, our natural pool might freeze over to create an ice skating rink! It's always fun to watch kids gliding across the frozen surface under Colorado bluebird skies.

A Day in the Life . . .

Later, we might go for a bike ride or winter sunset walk and then join our friends and neighbors at the Common House for dinner and perhaps a movie in the Common House theater. Game nights see the Common House fill up with families and individuals alike as laughter rings through the air. Alternatively, some of us might head into the city to catch a Broadway show in downtown Denver, a play at the Arvada Center or a concert at Red Rocks before coming home and calling it a night. Since we're on the outskirts of the city, star gazing is a fun nighttime activity and several members are amateur astronomers hauling out their telescopes for us to view planets, stars and galaxies. We might hear a pair of owls greeting each other in the distance as we head home to slumber in our incredibly warm and comfortable homes.

After lunch at home, we might work in our own garden, watering the flowers and topping off the bird feeders before relaxing on our shady, private back porch. We might work at our home office for awhile or head over the naturally filtered pool for a refreshing swim in the summer. A winter afternoon might see us dozing off as the winter sun shines through our oversized, triple-glazed windows. Or in the winter we might head to the music room to practice on the piano or have a jam session with some of our neighbors.
