Oakwood Homes Expands Housing Opportunities in Colorado Springs

Oakwood Homes recently celebrated the grand opening of its latest housing initiative, the Arrival collection, at the Banning Lewis Ranch community in Colorado Springs. The event, held on November 1, attracted a diverse crowd of community members, government officials, and real estate enthusiasts keen to learn more about affordable housing options in the area.

The Arrival collection is more than just a new set of homes; it represents a significant stride toward making homeownership accessible for families in Colorado Springs. During the launch event, Mayor Yemi Mobolade was present along with other local officials to highlight the importance of this development.

The new Arrival collection consists of 124 duet-style homes priced starting at $269,990, along with the Brio collection that features 118 single-family homes, starting at $499,990. Both collections are poised to begin construction shortly, signaling Oakwood Homes' commitment to enhancing the Banning Lewis Ranch community.

Ryan Delp, the Colorado division president of Oakwood Homes, remarked, "This launch not only introduces new homes but also opens doors for families and individuals aspiring to build equity and generational wealth. We are thrilled to contribute to the flourishing Banning Lewis Ranch community and provide opportunities for a better living experience in Colorado Springs."

Each floorplan offered in the Arrival collection has been meticulously designed to maximize space and functionality, featuring layouts with 2-4 bedrooms, 1-3 bathrooms, attached garages, and high-quality finishes. Energy efficiency is also a key element in these homes, emphasizing that affordability doesn’t mean compromising on style or comfort.

The Brio collection promises even more spacious homesites, accommodating up to five bedrooms and oversized garages, making them ideal for larger families looking to settle down.

The launch event was festive, with activities such as food trucks, bounce houses, and various family-oriented fun available to attendees. Community leaders like Colorado Springs City Councilman Roland Rainey, Jr., and District Attorney Michael J. Allen made appearances, further showcasing the support for this housing project.

In a heartfelt speech, Mayor Mobolade stated that the Arrival Collection's thoughtfully priced homes would realign mortgage payments closer to the average rent in the city, thus transforming the narrative around homeownership possibilities in Colorado Springs. He applauded Oakwood Homes for redefining what is attainable for families striving for a piece of the American dream.

With representatives from Nest Home Lending and the Oakwood Homes Homebuyers Club present, interested purchasers had the opportunity to engage and find out more about various discount programs and financing options tailored for first-time buyers and families looking to establish deeper roots in the community.

Banning Lewis Ranch itself is a highly regarded community, endowed with excellent schools and a plethora of amenities, including a 24-hour fitness center, tennis courts, dog parks, and an aquatic center. The community is designed with over 65 acres of parks, trails, and recreational spaces to ensure there is something for everyone.

In addition to the Banning Lewis Ranch, Oakwood Homes operates several other communities across Colorado, including The Retreat, Erie Highlands, and Thompson River Ranch. Each community aims to offer a unique living experience with sustainable and attainable housing options.
