Smart Parking Meters in Denver

by Amy Cesario on April 25, 2010

Smart Parking MeterWe have smart parking meters in Denver, specifically in Downtown Denver; they will be coming to Cherry Creek soon.

Why are they so smart?  They take credit/debit cards! Yes they do, and they are really easy to use.

Let me give you an important TIP:  If you are going to have a day hopping all over downtown moving from meter to meter, or that you continue to pay your dollar per hour at the same meter, keep in mind that your credit/debit card may have a usage limit.  I’m not talking about a dollar amount I’m talking about how many times you can use it in one day.  I learned this the hard way.  My card had a 9 time limit per day to help prevent thieves from spending all the money in the account.  This was funny the day when I first parked at 8 AM, I ate twice, feed the meter 6 times, purchased a ticket, and when I was going to buy desert after having a great day, the card was declined because I used it too many times.  So, be warned!  Maybe take an extra card if you don’t plan on taking change.

Remember:  Parking on Sunday’s at marked meters downtown are free and every Sunday all of the parking in Cherry Creek is free.

Be inSPIREd!

by Amy Cesario on April 23, 2010

I am thrilled to see the Spire is closing and residents are moving in!  After months of roller coaster emotions from buyers, investors and real estate agents, the Spire is officially on its way to being a full fledged residential community!

Congratulations to the Spire’s management and staff for keeping such positive outlook and thought through the past 6 months, and to all the new homeowners who are privileged to be the first owners in such a unique community.

For all those who have been sitting on the fence not sure if you should buy, you have 8 days to still qualify for the first-time home buyer tax credit (click here, if you haven’t had a mortgage in three years you may qualify).  I’d love to help you have a new home in this community; it’s unique and will be a fabulous place to call home!

Get inSPIREd!

Call me: 303-995-3180 or E-mail to amycesario@gmail.com and let me know how I can help you.

Does Denver Have an IKEA?

by Amy Cesario on April 21, 2010

Whenever I work with out of town buyers, one of the most asked questions is “Does Denver have an IKEA?”

Now I have a new answer…”we will soon!”

My first experience was a little over a year ago in an IKEA that was jam packed in Los Angeles, yes, the country was having a recession and yes, the state of California was millions of dollars in the hole, but IKEA was thriving that weekend, well, apparently more than just that weekend.

Well Denver, ahem…I mean our suburb, Centennial, good job!

Much needed details are:

My Facebook Friends have now requested a Trader Joe’s, but I am loving Sprouts Farmer’s Market (Havana and Mississippi) I say support those who really want to be here, too bad for Trader Joe’s unless we can get one or the other in the city limits.

My thoughts are this:  Denver, it took you 10+ years to get a Nordstrom and then a Nordstrom Rack…please don’t take another 10 years to get a Farmers Market like Sprouts/Trader Joe’s.
