About the property

Updated 3-Bed Tri-Level Near Quincy Reservoir — No HOA

This tri-level Lakeview Terrace residence blends smart cosmetic updates with an easy, family-friendly layout. Approaching the home you'll notice the recently poured driveway and new walkway that usher you to a covered entry. Step inside to an open living room with vaulted ceilings that create impressive volume for the main level — the kitchen sits just off the living area, also with vaulted ceilings, ample cabinet storage and a sliding door that opens to the deck/back porch, creating a natural indoor/outdoor flow for grilling and entertaining.

The upper level hosts the primary bedroom, a second bedroom with a ceiling fan, and a full bathroom — a comfortable private zone for everyday living. Downstairs, the lower level opens to a roomy family/media room, a 3/4 bathroom, a laundry area, and the third (non-conforming) bedroom. The lower bedroom closet contains access to the crawl space where the furnace and hot water heater are located — a practical layout but one buyers should inspect for clearance and moisture control. The attached two-car garage (seller-described) includes a separate entrance that leads directly to the front entry and offers generous storage room.

Outside, the fenced backyard and side yard create space for seating areas, kids’ play, or a garden, and the home's proximity to Quincy Reservoir means you can walk to the nearby trail for easy weekend outings. The property has been refreshed with new interior and exterior paint — reducing immediate maintenance needs and letting the next owner personalize finishes.

Listed at $425,000 and located in the Cherry Creek School District, this no-HOA home presents an attractive ownership profile for buyers wanting a suburban setting with quick access to trails, parks, and regional roadways. Schedule a showing to confirm the garage details and mechanical access, and to experience the volume of the vaulted main level in person.

Editorial market perspective

The 80015 micro-market is a sought-after sector of southeast Aurora because it offers more affordable single-family options relative to nearby suburbs while delivering access to good schools and outdoor amenities. As of early 2026, inventory is modest and homes in the $350k–$500k band that are clean and turn-key typically spend around 3–6 weeks on market. Median sale prices have softened slightly from the peak years but remain historically strong; buyers who move quickly on well-priced, updated properties often succeed. For sellers, properly staged cosmetic presentation and clear documentation of recent updates (paint, driveway) will generate buyer confidence. Investors should expect gross rents near $2,200–$2,600/month and solid tenant demand due to school-district appeal and proximity to commuting corridors (I-225, E-470).
