ARVADA – Village of Five Parks, a beautifully designed neighborhood by Village Homes located in Arvada, captured the “Community of the Year” award during the 2004 BAR Awards celebration held October 30 at the Adams Mark Hotel in Denver. In addition, the award-winning builder’s elegant Gentry and Hamilton townhomes featured at Village of Five Parks garnered the Gold BAR Awards for “Attached Home of the Year” and “Best Attached Home” in its price range, respectively, at this year’s building industry extravaganza. It was a banner night for Village Homes, winning a total of 10 Gold BAR Awards and 12 Silver BAR Awards at the prestigious event.

The BAR Awards are sponsored annually by the Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Denver. For more than a quarter century, the BAR Awards have recognized excellence in the homebuilding industry while challenging HBA members to take their profession to a higher level of achievement. An impartial panel of building industry experts from throughout the nation judges the entries under stringent requirements for each category, and being named a finalist places participants among the elite in the homebuilding business in the metro Denver area. Winning Gold awards is the pinnacle of the profession.

The beautifully designed Town and Country Collection in the Haskin Park neighborhood at Village of Five Parks showcases five elegant designs, including the Gentry and Hamilton BAR Award winners. Base priced from the mid $200’s, these luxury townhomes are distinguished by open floorplans ranging in size from 1,409 to 1,986 square feet of beautifully finished living space. These luxury row townhomes include select plans with a convenient main floor master suite, a multi-purpose loft or third bedroom, and each new home includes a fantastic five-piece master bath.

Several new inventory homes are currently available, including a new Gentry and Hamilton. The Gentry, scheduled for completion in December, offers 1,955 finished square feet with an additional 450 square feet in an innovative carriage house above the garage featuring its own air-conditioning and a wet bar.
