Antelope Ridge Wins Big at 2005 Parade of Homes

Commendations Demonstrate Quality, Value of Homes Priced Under $150,000

BaseCamp Communities announced today that its Antelope Ridge development is the recipient of three awards from the Colorado Springs Housing and Building Association.

The awards recognize Antelope Ridge’s Willow Mountain model for having the best kitchen, best master suite and best landscaping in the 2005 Parade of Homes, for homes priced between $150,000 and $200,000.

“It is a true honor to receive these ‘best of’ accolades from the Housing and Building Association,” said Andrew Luter, a partner at BaseCamp Communities. “Most importantly, these commendations demonstrate that homes built offsite offer all the same quality, style and amenities of homes built onsite, without the inflated price tag.”

Recently, BaseCamp Communities announced that to maximize the affordability of its homes all new properties at Antelope Ridge would feature a permanent foundation in conjunction with the land-lease concept already in place at the community. With the permanent foundations, the homes are eligible for standard 30-year mortgage financing, including zero down programs for qualified applicants. As a result, BaseCamp Communities is able to offer three-bedroom, two bathroom, detached homes starting at $115,000 – or as low as $899 per month with some mortgage products.

All homes at Antelope Ridge include fully landscaped front and back yards, sprinkler systems, all appliances, and window coverings. The communities also offer recreation centers, pools, parks, and walking trails.
