\t\t\t\t\"zillow<\/a>Home prices<\/a> all over Denver have been rising, and Stapleton has continued to become the community in which people want to live. Many things have contributed to this, including the strong public schools, unique homes, the soon to be light rail, and all of the trendy shops and restaurants that are currently here and ones coming soon. For most residents, the increased home value doesn\u2019t mean a lot, as they don\u2019t plan to move anyway. \u201cI guess it is fun to talk about,\u201d says Stapleton resident Kevin Cisler. \u201cBut, we aren\u2019t planning to move, so all it really does is raise our property taxes and I suppose in some circles, people will hold us in higher esteem.\u201d\n\nSome residents did benefit by selling their home in an established Stapleton community and moving into a newer, bigger home in the Conservatory Green neighborhood<\/a>. But, that opportunity has come and gone. Now Stapleton homeowners could sell their homes, but would have to pay another high price to stay in Stapleton, which is what most residents want to do. So, residents will ride out the time in their home until their kids go off to college, and will evaluate whether or not they still need to be in Stapleton. \u201cOnce the kids are in college, I am pretty sure we will move out of the neighborhood,\u201d said resident Steve Shoemaker. \u201cHopefully, the home prices here continue to increase or at least stay where they are at right now. Then we can maybe get a small condo downtown and live the good life.\u201d\nSome residents, like Laura Shelton, already count that money as part of their retirement. \u201cWe had to really stretch things to move here,\u201d says Shelton. \u201cSo, we don\u2019t have a lot of savings. So, knowing that our home value is up $120,000, I feel like we at least have that. I assume this is not another real estate bubble, right?\u201d Other residents feel the same way. \u201cNo matter how poor we actually are, I feel like we have $100,000 in the bank,\u201d said Adam Porche. \u201cSo, at least there is that.\u201d Experts<\/a> believe Stapleton will continue to be a neighborhood where people want to live, and home values will continue to rise. \u201cNothing suggests Stapleton values will take a drastic downturn,\u201d said Denver real estate expert Sam Herold. \u201cSo, once residents pay off their homes and decide to sell in twenty years, yeah, ones that leave may have a few extra bucks in their pockets.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
