I am partial to Banning Lewis Ranch as a place to live. Why? Because it is a master planned community located northeast of the "Springs" away from all the hustle and bustle, but close enough in to enjoy all the amenities of big town living. From a real estate perspective, the houses in Banning Lewis Ranch are priced fairly from the mid 200s to the high 300s. There are six different builders in the community each offering various home plans, styles and choices.
The center or the community is the Ranch House hosting events year-round for the whole family. The outdoor Jr. Olympic-sized pool is a huge draw in the summer with a splash pool for the kiddies, and grills and entertainment and lounging areas for the adults.
Banning Lewis Ranch offers nice walking/hiking/biking trails as well as pocket and play parks. There's a healthy open-air feel to the place as well as peace and quiet. The homes are very nice and well kept. Covenants control the look and the feel of the neighborhood.
The Metro District (like an HOA) is fabulous. In the association fees of $129/month, residents enjoy a total package which includes: basic cable, internet, trash pickup/recycle and 24x7 access to the fitness center throughout the year, and pool access during the summer months. Not forgetting tennis courts too.
Young families can send their children to the award-winning Banning Lewis Ranch Charter Academy located next to the Ranch House. Many parents from outside the community compete to have their children attend this wonderful school (K-8).
So whether you are up for hiking the trails or just lounging in your hot tub in your back yard gazing at the beauty of Pikes Peak, Banning Lewis Ranch lets you live the lifestyle.
Rather than run around between six different builders, I offer home tours of this fabulous community. You state your budget and your home style preference, and I set up the appointments and we tour 8-10 homes in one day. All you need to do is bring your smartphone to record your favorites, then go home and start packing!
