Patio Homes in Littleton

Patio home communities are a growing trend in the West Metro Denver area with retirees and business professionals looking for a low maintenance living option. They are also known as a paired home, garden home, lock and leave, or cluster home. These types of homes are often detached, freestanding units but typically very close together. They are unique in that they are usually ranch-style and are almost the same size as the lot they sit on which provides a small yard size that is easy to maintain. Most patio homes in Littleton are part of a homeowner’s association which provides the grounds and exterior maintenance for the property, but it also means rules and regulations must be abided by including the quantity of pets you own. Parking an RV, boat or other recreational vehicle on the premises isn’t allowed in most of the HOAs, but on a positive note most of the units include an attached garage for vehicles.

Patio homes are most like a single-family home compared to a condo or townhome. They offer privacy and usually an adequate amount of storage space. Patio homes can range in size from just a few square feet, to sprawling floor plans. Most have a small front and backyard space just like a typical home, so you won’t feel as claustrophobic as in a condo space. Here is a list of the patio home communities available in the West Metro Denver area.
