Denali Heights Subdivision Review

August 3rd, 2007 categories: Neighborhood Reviews, Real Estate News

Denali heights 010 Welcome to the newest subdivision in Kuna. This subdivision seemed to bloom overnight. Offering larger lots with a custom built home on the north side of town, apparently fit the desire of numerous new homeowners in Kuna.

Promises of a community pool and clubhouse are a plus. Since Kuna has no public swimming pool I’m sure this will enticed some buyers. The tree lined streets, grassy berms and illusions of a wonderful city park are, as in most new developments, a couple of growing seasons away.The clubhouse and pool are in their final phases of completion and should be ready for use soon. These amenities do come with a $500 Homeowners Association Fee. Denali heights 006

Numerous builders, and models to choose from, make it easier to get the design that you want. Most of the uniquely different homes are adobe with brick or stone exteriors which creates visual harmony and aesthetic appeal. So far only one eco-friendly Energy Star home is planned and that surprised me. All the builders do include a one year home warranty with their homes.

Denali heights 007 Most of the homeowners are already adding more improvements to the landscaping of the homes which really adds character to this subdivision. This trait is lacking in most of all the other subdivisions in Kuna. Each front lawn is required to plant 5 trees which should look nice in the future and will require some diligence in watering.

Out of the 90 homesites, nearly half have sold and are in the building phase. Probably half of those are already occupied. Surprising when you hear all the negative reports about new home construction starts.

As long as we keep that in mind when we try to create a certain atmosphere, we will not try to make something that is impossible to achieve. The only connection I can see is that we in the “Northern” part of Kuna. Talking with Brandon, the agent for Denali Heights, the name was meant to denote grandeur and upscale living. OK I can see that, much more so than trying to emulate the landscape of Denali Park. I did notice that most of the landscaping involved lots of rocks….they do well here.
