Considering that there are only twenty-seven (27) single-family homes on the market excluding new construction as of May 17, 2012, there is very little inventory for home buyers to choose from on the re-sale market in Stapleton.  Many of the builders in Stapleton are sold out of Central Park West and seeing a strong demand, because of the lack of re-sale homes on the market in Stapleton.  Many of these builders are now moving on to the Bluff Lake Neighborhood and some are taking deposits on lots in Stapleton's newest neighborhood.  To learn more about Bluff Lake Neighborhood, click here for the brochure.
