Centennial Colorado - Vibrant & Growing
Centennial Colorado, one of the newest and largest Denver suburbs is known for it's plucky residents who are committed to the growth and development of this community.
Centennial residents dug in their heels six years ago when they incorporated into a city. They took up the reins of their own government to avoid being gobbled up by neighbor
Greenwood Village. Centennial residents created their own government and now manage their city services. Centennial, patrolled by special arrangement by the Arapaho County Sheriff’s Department, earned the distinction of being the 25th safest city in the country, according to local realtor Judith Clauson, a member of the Colorado Exclusive Buyer Agent Association (CEBAA). Exclusive Buyer Agents help buyers navigate the precarious real estate market to find the best real estate deals and dream homes. These Exclusive Buyer Agents only work with buyers.
"The draw to Centennial Real Estate is the aggressive attitude of this young city’s growth and management."
Centennial real estate boasts the third largest non-commercial airport in the country. Corporate jets owned by local tech and telecommunications companies use the Centennial Airport.
Buying a home in Centennial means easy travel to work in
Metro Denver. With the recent completion of the $1.67 billion Transportation Expansion (T-REX) project, motorists no longer have to sit in traffic along the I 25 and 225 corridors.
That same route promises to be even more attractive in a couple years when the new light rail running along that same route is finished. Centennial’s central location is driving the development along the light rail. Residents are close to the Denver Tech Center (DTC) as well as to Denver.
People don’t want to sit in traffic as they have had to do in the last 10 to 15 years on I 25, the major north south route in metro Denver. With T-REX now open even the surface street traffic is lighter.
“The city is always on the move and will do whatever it can to keep up with what’s going on with the light rail,” said Judith, adding, “The Centennial city council has set its mind to keeping up with Denver.” She said buyers all summer wanted to live near the picking up points on or near the train.
"(Centennial) is an up and coming area,” she said.
Centennial expansion is also brisk along the Platte River. This competitive market is hot because the region has the rare Denver land available for development, said Exclusive Buyer Agent Russ Murray. People want to live close to where they work.
Centennial real estate is selling well in city central, but prices of areas at the city’s furthest edges are falling, said Russ. Sellers are having to lower their prices due to a high inventory of homes. In these outer edges of Centennial, buyers would be wise to consult an Exclusive Buyer Agent to find the best deal.
Centennial is an appealing place to live. The draw to Centennial Real Estate is the aggressive attitude of this young city’s growth and management. City planners are taking advantage of Centennial’s development. And, here, in Centennial, buyers are learning that they have more clout than during the frenzied sellers’ market of recent years. Now buyers can be more choosey about the homes they buy.
