The Voice's View on Townes at Kettle Creek  

Townes at Kettle Creek is a luxurious town home community built by Ashton Woods Homes. They offer flexible, innovative and spacious floor plans with a base price range of $227,000 to $276,000. Ashton has built high-quality multi-level townhomes with very impressive layouts comparable in size to many single-family homes (1,917 sq. ft. to 2,321 sq. ft.), all with two-car garages. The neighborhood is near The Promenade Shops at Briargate, a shopping and dining center considered one of the finest in Colorado Springs. Indeed, layout, affordability and location are the top reasons why people live in Kettle Creek, and at this price point, they are really very nice homes. Many younger families live here.


Townes at Kettle Creek Builders

Ashton Woods Homes is a national builder relatively new to Colorado Springs. In about two years in the city, they have already sold half of the Kettle Creek community, and they are becoming a leader in the Colorado Springs New Homes market. They offer energy-efficient, comfortable homes and have won awards for their great designs.
