Combining affordability and easy access to Denver and Boulder, Westminster’s Shaw Heights is a desirable location for first-time buyers, commuters, and families looking for convenience and mobility.

The area is also free of homeowners’ association fees, which is a huge draw for those who want the freedom to do what they want with their own property.

Currently, Shaw Heights mainly offers single-family homes. Most are ranch homes built in the 1950s through 1970s, but buyers also can also find split-level homes, ranch homes with basements, and some ranch homes with second-story additions. There are also a few newer homes built as infill projects.

Homes in Shaw Heights are built on lots that give homeowners big backyards and highly coveted space from the neighbors. Prices in this area range from $450,000 to $600,000, depending on the home’s size and location. Like homes in other parts of the metro, they typically sell in a few days after being listed.

While prices aren’t considered inexpensive, compared to many parts of the Denver metro area, it’s tough to beat home prices combined with Shaw Heights central location.

The neighborhood appeals to first-time buyers or buyers who are upgrading from condos or townhomes. Since the homes in Shaw Heights are only going to appreciate in value, buyers really get a lot of bang for their buck.

Strong schools with parks, playgrounds, and open space make the neighborhood attractive to young families. Younger, millennial buyers may not find the area as desirable because it doesn’t offer easy walkability to dining and shopping. Shaw Heights also appeals to investors who buy homes to turn into rental properties, but most residents are long-time homeowners.

Shaw Heights has a lot to offer for many potential homeowners. Ready to check out this established and vibrant area? Give Metrowest a shout today – we’d be happy to show you around!
