More Homes Planned For Monument, Colorado

Monument has been booming lately. Homes have been going up like mad east of I-25 while Historic Monument west of I-25 has stayed, well, historic. According to an article in The Gazette, recent numbers show Monument has more than doubled in population within the last 6 years with plenty of new shopping centers going up including, yes a Wal-Mart.

Historic Monument remains much the same, but not for long. The development and construction of homes in and around Historic Monument is set to begin in late 2007 to 2008 according to an article written by The Gazette.

Over 150 homes will be built around Monument Lake which in my mind will provide some much needed “water view properties.” This development, dubbed Lake of The Rockies in Monument, will provide a nice niche market in the area.

Other proposed developments in the area include Home Place Ranch, Promontory Pointe, Sanctuary Pointe, and Wakonda Meadows. It will be interesting to see how Monument’s growth continues.
