Affordable Country Homes in Castle Pines North











Beverly Hills Estates



Think you can't afford a home with a private country setting located within town? Think again.


Beverly Hills Estates, located in Castle Pines North, just west of Castle Pines Parkway (Exit 188), is a hidden, affordable gem.

Atmosphere
When driving through this quiet neighborhood, you'll see elongated Front Range mountain views, couples taking their afternoon stroll, deer, rabbits, and you may even catch a glimpse of Blakey, the very friendly neighborhood black cat.

This neighborhood is a mix of old and new with several remodeled homes. Several lots are an acre in size and scrub oak groves shelter houses from their neighbors. Also, since this community is a little older, residents benefit from mature landscaping.

Home Prices in Beverly Hills Estates
In spite of its name, home prices begin in the high $300,000; however there are few homes for sale so if you like this neighborhood then tell your realtor to keep a close eye on the area.

HOA and Covenants
The HOA is a voluntary $50 annually which pays for community hay ride event and the Christmas party. Home owners enjoy the freedom of few covenants. (at the time of this writing)

Instant Access to Amenities
Gas, banks, shopping, and dining are literally a mile or less away. The highway access is also about a mile away. Beverly Hills Estates is located at the northern tip of the Castle Rock area so commuting to Denver and the Denver Tech Center is easy, especially since the speed limit is 75 miles an hour on this stretch of highway. It is also close to a park and ride location, and about 5 miles from the light rail.

Drawbacks
Because the area is so close to the highway, some houses have highway noise. The amount varies but the mature landscaping helps buffer the sound.

Scrub oak, native to South West Douglas County, provides ample privacy in summer and because the branches are so dense, they even offer privacy in winter.

Many homes offer expansive views of the Front Range mountains.
