TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
In a rapidly growing city like Denver, transit oriented development creates an opportunity to stay connected while living further from the city center. Transit Oriented Development, or TOD for short, is a development framework that allows you to forgo automobile dependence to travel as you see fit, whether by light rail service, bike path, bus, or car. TOD communities are designed to give you plenty of commuting options for work, play, and travel using multiple forms of transit. These mixed-use, pedestrian focused communities integrate housing and community resources like grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants that are part of daily life, providing local options that are closer to home. Combining these resources and connecting easily to highways and light rails can help you to accomplish more without worrying about traffic.

WHY BUY NEW?
New homes in Transit oriented developments provide maintenance free living and plenty of transportation options, allowing you spend less time waiting in traffic and more time enjoying life. These homes often come pre-wired for smart home features that allow you to connect to your home. They are more energy efficient than older homes, which translates to lower bills and higher air quality. With all of the commuting options available in a transit oriented development, you’ll never have to worry about paying hefty airport parking fees or budgeting extra time to get to and from remote parking lots when traveling.
TYPES OF NEW HOMES NEAR TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
Transit oriented developments are planned for higher density so they tend to offer more attached options, although you can still find detached single family properties in certain developments. Common types of attached homes you’ll find in TOD communities include townhomes, condos, rowhomes, duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes. All are designed for efficient, smart, turnkey living.

LIFE IN A TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
Your alarm goes off and you hit the snooze to get some last minute snuggles in with your dog. It was great hanging out with your crew last night at the Terminal at Union Station after work. Your best friend’s wedding is this weekend and you can’t wait to see everyone back home, but you have one last day of work before you head out. You take your dog for a short walk to the dog park and grab a coffee on the way home. Your new home has built in bluetooth speakers and you like to listen to podcasts as you get ready for work. You know that the light rail leaves in 43 minutes from the station 5 blocks from your place and it takes 17 minutes on the train to get to Union Station which is just a few blocks from your office. No more worries about traffic and wondering how long it will take you to get in to work. You have tried driving but it takes longer and you can’t get anything done while you are sitting in traffic. Having completed all of your work for the week, you were able to sneak out a little early today. You have two and a half hours to get to the airport and google maps is showing a dark red map of Denver highways. Good thing you decided to buy in a townhome in a transit oriented development You hop on the light rail for the 17 minute ride home while catching up on the news and your social feeds. You just need to grab your bags, set your home to away mode and head out. Remembering you need to grab deodorant for your trip, you swing by the store on your walk home. You have 2 hours left to get to the airport. You make it home and grab your bag. The next train leaves in 20 minutes to Union Station, leaving just enough time to stop by the deli for a sandwich to go. You don’t get anxious anymore when thinking about making it to the airport on time. You enjoy the ride while catching up on the Netflix episode that you couldn’t finish last night. You love the transit and shopping options your new home provides, the extra time to relax during commutes, and the several hundred dollars it saves you in parking fees on long travel weekends like this.
