Housing Inventory
There are plenty of new single-home subdivisions in the southeast, with prices starting in the 160's and going up to the $300's. Buyers can find small, starter home styles, with compact design and an affordable price. They can also find larger homes in some subdivisions with upper-end amenities, although rarely will they find prices over $350's. Most lot sizes are small to average.
There are condo and townhome developments, as well, and buyers can find existing or new construction if they're looking for a multi-family unit.
Schools
Pear Park and Chatfield Elementary are within walking, distance to many neighborhoods in the southeast. Students are bused to the secondary schools serving the southeast area, which is across the railroad tracks and the I-70 business loop.
Amenities
The southeast area doesn't have a lot of commercial areas, retail shops or restaurants, but the new Riverside Parkway lessens the commute time to get from the southeast to downtown or Mesa Mall. The 29 Road Bridge opened the area to Orchard Mesa, and the city is currently working on another interchange that will improve access from the southeast area to commercial areas along I-70 Business loop and North Avenue.
Corn lake State Park is in the southeast area, however, giving residents access to the river for boating, fishing in both the river and the lake and access to the Colorado Riverfront Trail system. The Colorado River Wildlife area is also in the southeast part of town.
What makes it special?
The southeast area has some of the most affordable housing in the valley, and improved access means that it's also a quick commute on to Interstate I-70 from 32 Road and for those who frequently travel up valley for work or play.
The views of Grand Mesa and Mount Garfield are great, as is the nearby access to the Riverfromt Trail system.
