Situated in the heart of south Longmont, Parkside at Quail Ridge goes beyond offering stylish new homes. It promises keys to a lifestyle one that blooms with healthy, active opportunity and is rich in access to true community. (Photo: Timothy Seibert).
Flatirons Homes offering new year closeout incentives on townhome-style condominiums at ParkSide in Longmont.
Locally minded Flatirons Homes Inc. likes to build houses one project, one community at a time. The smaller-scale Front Range builder is intentionally focused on designing and raising new homes in communities that are a good fit. It’s kind of like that feeling you get when you walk into that forever home. It just feels right.
ParkSide is Flatirons Homes’ current feel-good project, an inspired, well-priced community on the south side of Longmont. The welcoming neighborhood includes 93 townhome style condominiums and 36 single-family homes all close to important everyday amenities. The Longmont Recreation Center and Longmont Museum and Cultural Center are both just a block from home. The Village at the Peaks mall, Hover Road’s big box stores, Lucky’s Market and Whole Foods, plus restaurants and parks in Prospect New Town are also conveniently nearby.
In ParkSide, Flatirons Homes is building a few dozen single-family right-sized custom homes in four styles ranging from 2,284 to 2,913 square feet. There’s more selection in attached townhome-style condos, which also come in three layouts and range from a cozy 1,002 square feet to 2,131 square feet. The stylish and energy-efficient two- and three-bedroom with two and two and a half bath townhome-style condominiums come in single-level or two-story designs. All custom designs feature open floor plans with room for outdoor living, single-car garages and, in the two-story units, a full, unfinished basement to build out as you see fit.
Community-embedded, green-built
With decades of experience designing single-family, multi-family, and commercial construction, Flatirons Homes is well qualified to make modern abodes that people love to call home. Locally owned and operated, and known as a green builder with vast expertise in custom-home development, Flatirons Homes offers the ultimate balance: affordable houses built with great attention to detail.
Bill and Jeff Eckert started building in Colorado in 1988. After working in different parts of the country and honing their construction skills and business experience, the Eckerts settled on Boulder County for many of the same reasons we all do: It’s paradise. Since then Flatirons Homes’ passion for each project and commitment to quality has not waned. To this day, a team of professionals guides each buyer to the living space that feels most like home.
And the relationship doesn’t end there. Buyers are invited to work closely with the builder and become active participants in the construction process. After all, it’s important that you feel as invested in your home as the people who dug its foundations and hoisted lifted its walls. Homebuyers will be able to watch the following standout features take shape:
Interior:
• Granite counters
• 9-foot ceilings on the main floor
• Knockdown textured drywall finish
• Double-sink vanity in master bath
