Custom ranch style home entry
Differences in the two neighborhoods are what sometimes creates a dilemma for many home buyers considering the two neighborhoods.
The Timbers is a 100% custom home neighborhood. Many homes have views of the Rocky Mountains and have wooded lots filled with Ponderosa Pines.
Pradera is a mix of custom homes and track built homes. Most homes have views of the golf course and rolling hills but none have views of the Rocky Mountains. The lots are more open and consist of a prairie feeling.
It’s totally personal preference when making that buying decision.
