Handsome homes on large lots
Mature trees and broad sidewalks line both sides of Sunrise Creek’s residential roads on the neighborhood's western side. Stunning Craftsman-style homes with driveways and roomy garages are among the most popular home types. Most of these houses were built in the 1990s, range from 2,400 to 3,000 square feet and cost $650,000 to $745,000. Beautiful features of these properties include pointed roofs, stone accents and front porches. There are also contemporary ranch-style homes and townhouses in the area for $500,000 to $550,000. “People tend to like this neighborhood because it’s well-kept, and residents really take care of their homes,” says Tania Nelson, a broker associate with HomeSmart Realty Group who has over 10 years of experience. “Owners often settle in for many years — some families even stay for multiple generations.” All homeowners in the community belong to the Sunrise Creek Master Association, which provides amenities like trash collection and snow removal. On the neighborhood's eastern side, luxurious estates with modern farmhouse architecture dot the area. These properties have acres of land and can cost up to $1 million.
