The Penningroths have been married for three years and were excited to take the next step in their lives. \u201cWe have been living in the Highlands for the last five years, and decided we are ready to start our family,\u201d said John. \u201cWe have some friends that live over in Stapleton, and like a lot of people with kids or getting ready to have kids, we thought we should check out Stapleton.\u201d The couple thought it would be fun to look into new homes, or even new builds, so they began looking at Wicker Park<\/a>, one of Stapleton\u2019s newest neighborhoods. \u201cWe went online to see what may be available,\u201d said Sarah. \u201cWe read through the Wicker Park brochure and really liked what it had to say.\u201d In particular, the brochure states, \u201cWicker Park is a not-very-big neighborhood with a very big variety of home styles.\u201d This led the Penningroths to go visit the neighborhood so they could look around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe drove over to check things out, and right off the bat we loved it,\u201d said John. \u201cIn fact, there was a sign as you entered the neighborhood that said, \u2018homes from the 200\u2019s to 800\u2019s<\/a>\u2019 which made as feel like there were going to be several options in regards to what we may be able to afford.\u201d Although the couple really liked the neighborhood and the homes, they thought a couple things were a little misleading. \u201cThe brochure says, \u2018Long trails and wide stretches of nature in almost every direction.\u2019 Maybe it was wide stretches of nature, or just unfinished construction,\u201d said Sarah. Nonetheless, the couple really liked the area, and appreciated the information from the brochure that let them know that, \u201cfinding a home that fits your life and your tastes becomes easy.\u201d They began calling the builders of the homes they were interested in and quickly realized they had been had. \u201cThere were no homes in the 200\u2019s,\u201d said John. \u201cIn fact, we couldn\u2019t find any homes below the 800\u2019s. For a place that trumpets being one with nature, you sure have to have a lot of money to spend some time in a natural setting.\u201d The couple says they will press on and try to continue to find a home in Stapleton, but it probably won\u2019t be in Wicker Park. \u201cI mean, have you seen the homes there?\u201d asked John. \u201cWhere are they putting these homes in the 200\u2019s? Underground? Everything we saw was beautiful mansions we couldn\u2019t afford.\u201d The brochure does say, \u201cEverybody has a different idea of what makes a beautiful home.\u201d But, for most people, it\u2019s one they can afford.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
