Amenities

Ask any property owner in the Reserve at Frisco why they chose to purchase in the Reserve and they will happily begin sharing their many reasons. Although each owner has their own particular interests, there are some common attractions and amenities that influenced each to want to live in this community. We are pleased to share them with you here:

First and foremost for many, it's location, Location, LOCATION. Situated just off I-70 and in the heart of Summit County, Frisco has a "to-die-for" geographic proximity and accessibility to numerous mountain sports, including seven World Class ski areas: Arapahoe Basin, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Keystone, Loveland, and Vail. This central location frees one from feeling tied to one ski area, allowing a person to easily choose among and experience the varied snow conditions offered by the areas on a daily basis. And, as you read further, you will see that this incredible location and ease of access holds true for many other summer and winter activities as well. Our desirable location not only is very convenient, but also affords a quite different feeling from residing in one specific resort area.

But, let's start with some attractions specific to our Reserve community:

Comprised of private, single-family homes, the Reserve is a true, year-round neighborhood. You know who your neighbors are because there are no seasonal condo or townhouse rentals. Many owners feel this is a desirable feature that creates a stable community and helps protect property values.
The Reserve is covenant-controlled community. The covenants help ensure and preserve the qualities and values of both the private properties and the public open spaces in our development. This quality assurance and historically escalating home values have resulted in a sound investment for many of our owners.
As noted in the Welcome, completed homes are occupied by a diverse group of owners: young families, singles, retirees, full time owners, second homeowners, teachers, business owners, professionals, and the list goes on. And, a significant percentage of our residents are full time. Together, these valued neighborhood characteristics allow personal interactions and relationships to develop -an environment that too often does not exist in resort communities.
Families with school-age children appreciate the school bus service for students living in the Reserve.
Association dues are low. Annual dues for fiscal year 2004-2005 were just $275 (down $50 from the previous year).
Our Board of Directors, Architectural Review Committee, Property Manager and neighborhood volunteers strive to keep our community a desirable place to live.
Most Reserve properties enjoy views of several mountains including Mount Royal, Victoria, Peak One, Wichita, Little Chief and Buffalo, and those are just the ones nearby. Some properties even have views of the Continental Divide and ski runs at Keystone.
The Reserve's ten-plus acres of Public Open Space allow owners to enjoy the heavily treed, park like setting of our property without feelings of confinement.
Our wildlife is varied. Moose, deer and bear occasionally visit the area. Foxes, chippies and squirrels are residents or frequent guests, and several owners report having heard elk bugling from the northwest.
The Reserve neighborhood is located in a real town and therefore has the advantage of Town amenities such as water, sewer, cable TV, natural gas, street maintenance, snow plow services, police and fire protection, and Town ordinances that offer protections for our property and lifestyles.
Frisco's charming Main Street, offering varied shopping, professional services, restaurants, and the post office, is just a 20-minute walk away for most Reserve residents. Owners quickly learn that the refreshing, scenic walk also provides opportunities to rekindle relationships. Seeing our neighbors, recognizing them and visiting at Safeway, Wal-Mart, the post office and other establishments truly is a daily occurrence.

…and that moves us right along to some of the many amenities of the Town of Frisco and its enviable location: Picture of a house

You will often hear it touted that Frisco is the hub of Summit County's extensive paved bike trail system -and bike paths in the Reserve connect to these wonderful trails to Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper, Vail and beyond. Bicycling enthusiasts love Frisco's central -and quite flat- location. It provides easy access to varied rides and, at the end of a ride, the rider is not faced with that arduous "wind in your face" climb back home or the shuttling of bikes to and from the trails that many other residential areas require.
Trailheads in Frisco offer easy access to mountain trails of varying degrees of difficulty and length, for leisure and serious summer hikers as well as snowshoeing enthusiasts. Many, many other hiking opportunities are in all directions in Summit and neighboring Counties, each just a short drive away.
The Frisco Marina at the east end of Town provides convenient access to many water sport activities on Lake Dillon.
Five golf courses approximately 20 minutes from the front door provide diverse options for the avid golfer: The Raven Golf Course, Copper Creek Golf Course, Breckenridge Golf Course and two courses at Keystone.
At least eighteen outdoor public tennis courses are located throughout the Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorne, Keystone area. Additionally, two indoor public courts are at the Breckenridge Recreation Center. There currently is no charge for usage other than the courts at the Breckenridge Rec. Center. (High altitude balls, which are readily available, are recommended.)
Frisco's Nordic Center is just two miles from the Reserve, while the Nordic centers at Breckenridge and Keystone are a little further along scenic drives.
The Town of Frisco sponsors many seasonal events in its Historic Park, including free concerts, an ice cream social, art and craft fairs, an ice sculpting competition and Santa Visits, to name just a few.
Frisco's hometown, historic Main Street periodically closes to host popular events such as Fourth of July festivities, a giant street dance and party, major bicycling or running events, an October Fest, a chili cook-off and more. These events, which attract County residents and visitors alike, all are available just a short walk or bike ride from the Reserve.
Frisco also is central to Summit County's many cultural offerings. Year-round, theatre buffs are sure to find a performance in Breckenridge, Dillon or Silverthorne. Music lovers will find a full, diverse range of musical offerings in venues throughout the County, performed by orchestras and musical groups of national and regional acclaim as well as premier chamber orchestras comprised of distinguished visiting musicians.
Frisco is home to many County government offices, a library, the Summit County Senior Center and Community Center, and the Summit Stage Transportation Center that provides year-round free transportation throughout the County. In some instances these services are just short walk or bike ride away.
The County's first class Medical Center is close at hand -only a mile from the east entrance to the Reserve. Plans for a new hospital were approved in November 2003. The facility, to be located near the library and the Community Center, is expected to open in 2005.
Lastly, in just minutes one can be on I-70 for a scenic 70-mile drive east to the heart of Denver and all its major city attractions, amenities and events!

Given the above, it's easy to understand why Reserve owners feel so fortunate to be part of this special community.

If you are an owner in the Reserve and would like to suggest other amenities that may be of interest to our Website visitors, please share your thoughts with any board member.
