DENVER – Idyllwilde, a beautifully designed, amenity-rich community by Village Homes in Parker has been named "Community of the Year" for the second time in a row. The "Community of the Year" designation is considered the top prize at the annual building industry gala sponsored by the Home Builders Association of Metro Denver. With back-to-back "Community of the Year" honors for Idyllwilde, Village Homes has now won its fifth consecutive "Community of the Year" award, having captured the top prize for Village of Five Parks in Arvada for the three straight previous years. This is an unprecedented building industry achievement for Village Homes and firmly establishes the builder as the undisputed leader in community design.

“This is an exceptional accomplishment for Village Homes and our entire staff of dedicated building industry professionals,” said Matt Osborn, Vice President of Homebuilding Operations of Village Homes. “Winning Community of the Year honors once in a lifetime is a remarkable achievement. To win five years in a row is something that has never been achieved in the history of the Bar Awards. The Idyllwilde recognition exemplifies the incredible team effort by the entire Village Homes organization. Collectively, everyone with Village Homes is responsible for this achievement and they should be proud of this remarkable accomplishment. It’s been a team effort from day one and I wish to personally thank everyone for making Idyllwilde Community of the Year and establishing Village Homes as the best community builder in Colorado!”

Idyllwilde has captured the attention of a wide variety of homebuyers and leading building industry observers for its wealth of first-class recreational amenities, expansive open space, spacious parks, and meandering trails. The community features a variety of new homes that appeal to a broad spectrum of lifestyles with eight distinctive collections encompassing more than 40 exciting designs, including low-maintenance, traditional, executive and luxury homes priced from the $290s to the $700s.
