atHome Colorado Features
Launched less than a year ago in the golden plains of Erie, Westerly is a new community that already feels like home. More than 100 homes have already been sold, and the under-construction Waypoint Amenity Center is slated for grand opening this fall.
While new home buyers often have to wait for years before a sense of community takes shape, Westerly is different by design. It is the newest vision of nationally acclaimed Southern Land Company, the developer behind the 2022 Best In American Living® award winner known as Westhaven in Franklin, Tennessee.
Signature elements of Southern Land Company’s approach are already visible at Westerly. Architecturally distinctive homes by three premier builders boast front porches that frame Front Range views and overlook inviting tree-lined lanes and pedestrian paths. Residents are enjoying the open spaces, pocket parks and nature trails that will ultimately make up more than 25 percent of the community’s acreage.
Home happens here…
Reflecting the scenic surroundings of this pristine part of Colorado, the homes of Westerly feature an architectural character in keeping with the original spirit of the community. Three premier builders, Brightland Homes, McStain Neighborhoods and SLC Homes, have designed all-new, innovative floor plans and elevations especially for Westerly.
Custom-designed landscaping and exterior colors create streetscapes as unique as the homes themselves. Collections feature ranch-style and two-story homes, townhomes, and villas by builders known for innovation, craftsmanship, beauty and attention to detail. Designs embrace open interiors, above-standard features and finishes, and front porches.
For those who want to start enjoying Westerly right away, a collection of new homes is available for quick move-in. Visitors are invited to tour nine decorated models open daily.
The Waypoint opens this fall
Opening this fall, The Waypoint will be the all-ages and all-seasons heart of the community. Waypoint’s resort-style pool and a heated spa invites relaxing in the shade by the water or having a splash with the kids. A state-of-the-art fitness studio offers a menu of wellness programs from bootcamp to nutrition and yoga classes. Outdoor dining tables and chairs beside an open lawn and playground welcome all kinds of activities from picnics to impromptu pickup games. An indoor club lounge offers comfortably elegant places to hold a community meeting, host a neighborhood party or sit beside a roaring fire on a chilly Colorado night watching the first snowfall of the season. There will also be a full calendar of fun-filled events, including game nights, annual tree lightings, movie nights and holiday parties, all coordinated by the Lifestyle Manager.
Wonderfully walkable and active
Great education is within an easy walk too. Just across the street from Westerly are Soaring Heights PK-8 and Erie High School, providing unmatched convenience to busy families.
Residents can get outside and really stretch their legs on more than 4.5 miles of trails and sidewalks in Westerly. They can enjoy a leisurely stroll or invigorating bike ride to Westerly’s impressive 10-acre neighborhood park or any of the community’s playgrounds and green spaces.
While there’s plenty of room to wander freely inside Westerly, with Colorado’s Front Range on the horizon, there are also convenient connections to Coal Creek Regional Trail and the Erie Singletrack bike loops and trails.
Small-town charm, big city convenience
The community is only a few miles from the charming town of Erie with the local shops, restaurants and breweries of Briggs Street, a bustling farmer’s market, historical landmarks, golf, and one-of-a-kind festivals and events such as the annual Hot Air Balloon Festival. Within a short drive from home, residents of Westerly can hike mountains, forests and alpine tundra in Rocky Mountain National Park or take to the slopes at one of Colorado’s world-class ski resorts. Additionally, one hour away is the home of Longs Peak which is viewable from the community and one of the most popular National Parks in the country.
Just a short drive away in Denver and Boulder, Westerly residents can take advantage of unmatched urban amenities, from world-class dining to globally connected airports. The cities abound in cultural attractions, employment opportunities, professional sports, respected universities, and stellar shopping.
