What you get for a Cool Half Million in Wheat Ridge

Good Day, Fellow Wheaties!

I felt like it was a great day to highlight just what you get in Wheat Ridge right now for about $500k:

If you have a bit of time on your hands, and love modern new build and an urban setting, the InCarnations project is for you! Just a block off the Ridge at 38 you can get in at the ground level, literally, and watch your brand new home rise and shine! There is a small list of upgrades and fixtures you can choose from to cusomize your home, and on move in day, you'll enjoy that "new carpet" smell! For about $500k you get the detached single family home (pictured left), and for about $400k you get the attached townhome (pictured right). The detached home has 2708 square feet which makes this bad boy for sale at a whopping $254 per square foot!

If you are ready for some great charm in an older home, and you want a more quiet suburban setting on a large lot, in Wheat Ridge you can grab up this fabulous detached remodeled home at 3258 Swadley. This home is priced at $515k and has 2522 square feet. That puts this home at $204 per square foot - yowza!

If you are interested in finding out what your home is worth, please don't hesitate to call or e-mail me. It takes me a quick second to run a neighborhood analysis and I'm happy to let you know what updates or improvements will get you the biggest bang for your buck.
