Dream a Little Dream with Me in the American Dream Collection by Oakwood Homes

By Linda Thorsen Bond for At Home Northern Colorado Renderings courtesy Oakwood Homes The American dream of owning a home may seem like a wish rather than a reality. But Oakwood Homes is working to make that dream come true.

The newest Oakwood collection is named “American Dream” and it’s coming very soon. It offers low maintenance and charming homes close to schools, to shopping and to Denver. For some lucky people, a dream home is waiting.

Julia DuVal Ziegler, Director of Marketing, explained, “Right now with rising prices and interest rates, people are being 6

AT HOME COLORADO

“Our goal and vision is to answer the need for quality and luxury at a price people can afford. priced out of the American dream of home ownership.

Oakwood aims to change that by providing quality and luxury at an affordable price point. We’re offering newly built homes for those people who feel like they are getting priced out of their dream.”

The sales launch is Saturday, July 9 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 18655 Green Valley Ranch Boulevard in Denver. Julia said, “Everyone is invited for a day of fun as we launch this exciting new collection. Bring the whole family to enjoy carnival games, food trucks, and live music! In

addition, our expert team will be on hand to detail all the amazing features of our new floorplans and answer any questions you may have.”

The American Dream collection is being built in Green Valley Ranch in the center of everything off Tower Road and E470, approximately 20 minutes from downtown Denver and 15 minutes from Denver International Airport. Currently, there are three home models with two to four bedrooms and two to three-and-a-half bathrooms.

The homes have two-car garages, wrap-around porches, or

balconies, and some even offer rooftop decks. The square footage ranges from 1,031 to 1,657 for the two- to three-floor homes.

The best part is that prices start in the high $300,000.

How can Oakwood offer homes that are affordable but of such high quality? Julia said, “We do a great job of building smart.

We utilize panelization, which cuts down on building time and waste. In older building styles, sometimes materials could have been cut and delivered then piled on building sites for months. The advanced building techniques support global and national

sustainability and help us save money, and we pass that savings along to our homeowners.”

Interior amenities include Whirlpool appliances, stainless steel sinks, granite counter tops, and alternative kitchen packages.

There are luxury vinyl panel floors that look good and are easy to clean and maintain. Different packages make it possible to choose colors and styles.

Julia said, “Smart spaces like a flex room are included in every Oakwood model because no family is the same. They have different goals and no matter what the budget, people need to be able to live comfortably and grow in their homes. A flex space for people who work from home can be their home

office. It can be a playroom for the kids or a fitness room with a gym.

The flex room turns into something that fits each homeowner.”

In addition, these homes are aimed to be low-maintenance and low cost, from the thoughtful landscaping to the many energy efficient features which are above and beyond industry requirements.

The area is booming now, and Julia envisions that homes in the American Dream community “will fly off the shelf.” She said, “Our goal and vision is to answer the need for quality and luxury at a price people can afford. I’m excited for the launch. I can’t wait to see people get their dream home!”

How can I chill out this summer? mind in summer. Here are four questions to ask yourself to chill out this summer and lower your energy bills.

1. Is my HVAC system the right size?

You might think that the solution to home cooling is a bigger and more robust system, but an extra-sized air conditioning system is less effective at cooling than one A duct inspection can identify areas where you’re losing air and energy in your HVAC system. correctly sized for your (Dreamstime/TNS) home.

Air conditioners For much of the nation, keeping Because of that, your cooling are rated per ton, which removes 12,000 BTUs per hour from the homes cool is one of the most system is often foremost on your

home. Every house’s needs are unique, and you can’t measure BTU just by square footage.

An HVAC pro can perform the necessary calculations and recommend a system the right size for your home. Too much AC power can be as bad as too little, leading to extremes in temperature and decreased humidity control.

2. Is my HVAC infrastructure in good shape?

The most efficient AC can’t help your home if the chilled air can’t get to or stay where it belongs.

That’s why basic weatherstripping makes a big difference. Check your windows and doors for any leaks where air might be leaking.

If your home uses traditional ducts, consider hiring a pro to perform an inspection. Air ducts often go without maintenance for years, but even a minor gap in your ducts can seriously drop efficiency. A simple duct repair can save a lot in energy costs.

3. How can a multistage or zoned system help me?

Traditional HVAC units work at two speeds: on or off. You can purchase more advanced models that operate with two or three power stages. Running a lower level of heating or cooling constantly throughout the day can maintain a comfortable temperature. This saves energy compared to continually turning on and off. However, these models will cost more.

An HVAC zoning system can also lower energy costs. Zoning provides different temperatures for different parts of the house.

You can have just two zones, upstairs and downstairs, or pay more for extra zoning.

This gives you added comfort and flexibility. It can also save energy. For instance, you can send less hot or cold air to bedrooms during the day, when they’re not in use.

4. What else can I do to cool off?

The best cooling system is the one you need to use the

least. You’ll increase comfort and save energy costs by utilizing passive techniques to cool off the home and lower humidity, thus requiring your system not to work as hard.

Running fans throughout the house will keep the air moving and reduce stuffiness. (Make sure to set your ceiling fans to the clockwise position for the best effect.) Have an insulation pro take a look at your walls; older insulation is less effective and wastes energy.

Windows tend to increase heat in the home. Use blinds, curtains or window film to cover them during the day and keep sunlight from heating up your home.

Try not to run heatgenerating appliances, such as clothes dryers and ovens, during the day; they’ll pour heat into the living area and make your system work harder. ____ Tweet your home care questions with #AskAngi and we’ll try to answer them in a future column.
