New homes include more cost saving energy efficient features, sustainable technologies, outdoor living spaces, personalized home plans and innovative in-house features. <a href=\"\/\">At The Lakes at Centerra,<\/a> our selection of quality Loveland homebuilders has created a community that goes above and beyond and strives to exceed homebuyers expectations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sustainable Living<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Energy efficiency is the single most notable improvement in the past decade, especially in a community such as The Lakes that values sustainable living. Each of our homebuilders integrates energy saving technologies such as light dimmers, central ceiling fans, smart furnaces, tankless water heaters, high efficiency windows and programmable thermostats into each home to provide homebuyers comfort of living.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.centerra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Energy20efficient.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of our talented homebuilders, <a href=\"\/home-builders\/wonderland-homes\/\">Wonderland Homes<\/a> said, &#8220;The cost of ownership is greatly reduced by virtue of the high performance features built into our homes that make them more comfortable, more sustainable and much less costly to operate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outdoor Space<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not many people have the chance to live in an outdoor playground like Loveland&#8217;s &#8220;Gateway to the Rockies.&#8221; Our homes are all located in the heart of natural beauty, and our homebuilders have incorporated outdoor living spaces that allow residents to unwind, entertain and connect with their amenities. Another one of our homebuilders,<a href=\"\/home-builders\/village-homes\/\">Village Homes<\/a> shared, &#8220;We incorporate and build outdoor living spaces specifically for the Lakes at Centerra with courtyards, outdoor dining areas and outdoor fireplaces.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.centerra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Outdoor20Biking.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Personalized Rooms<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each of our homebuilders provides personalization in their designs ranging from added space to upgraded home features. Personalization allows residents to feel truly at home in a space that is suited specifically to meet their needs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centerra.com\/the-lakes\/homes\/\">TRI Pointe Homes<\/a> said, &#8220;We have the ability to build finished basements for additional living and entertainment space with options such as built in bars with game room and spare room options.&#8221; This option is great for creating welcoming gathering spaces for growing families and for accommodating residents who love to entertain with friends.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.centerra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Personalized.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Unbeatable Features<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of living at The Lakes is having innovative, relevant home features that simplify everyday living, allowing people to spend more time doing what they love.<a href=\"\/home-builders\/boulder-creek-neighborhoods\/\">Boulder Creek Neighborhoods<\/a> said, &#8220;One of our show stopping features is the 10-foot &#8220;fun shower&#8221; that has been designed for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livebouldercreek.com\/communities\/centerra\/\">easyHouse series<\/a> and the three-car garage option is also popular in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livebouldercreek.com\/communities\/centerra\/\">yourHouse townhome floor plan<\/a>.&#8221; Additionally, Boulder Creek Neighborhoods designs embody a low maintenance style, so residents can enjoy maintenance-free yards that don&#8217;t require ongoing yard work or shoveling of snow. Instead, that time can be spent exploring the miles of trails nearby or enjoying the state-of-the-art amenities offered at The Lake Club.<\/p>\n<p>Each of our homebuilders boast features that you will not find in your average home.
