Agents divided over Light Rail
Despite recent reports that apartment seekers will pay more to be within a quarter mile of a light rail stop, real estate experts say the issue is more complex for Littleton.
In recent years at least two luxury residential complexes have been built in downtown Littleton: Alexan Downtown Littleton and Nevada Place. Both boast proximity to the downtown light rail stop as an amenity.
For Jonathan Miller, a developer with Camelback Development, which is overseeing the Nevada Place project, light rail proximity was a major factor in choosing the location on Nevada Street.
“It was a huge factor in our decision,” Miller said. “That was absolutely a consideration because we believe it’s a lifestyle decision to be able to leave your car in the garage.”

Case Schiller: Denver home values continue to rise
Denver-area home prices rose an average of 4.4 percent in April from April 2009, marking the sixth consecutive month of year-over-year gains, shows the closely watched S&P Case-Shiller Home Price Indices released today.
The 4.4 percent gain was the largest since the trend began in November 2009, when prices were up 0.5% from November 2008. Each month, the percentage gain has grown.
Still, the 4.4 percent was only good for eighth place of the 20 metropolitan statistical areas tracked by Case-Shiller, as other markets, which previously had shown greater losses than Denver, are now enjoying greater percentage gains. San Francisco showed the biggest gain, rising a whopping 18 percent from April 2009.Read More
