There’s something about summer that makes everything feel possible. The longer days, the sunshine-filled weekends, and a general sense of renewal make it an ideal season to turn the page and start a new chapter. For many people, that means making a move. If you’re considering a new home, here’s why summer is a wonderful time to settle into a Shea Homes® community.

School’s Out
Summer is a natural time for change, especially for families with school-age children. Moving during the break gives kids a chance to settle into a new house, explore the neighborhood, and make friends before the new school year begins. It’s a smoother, more relaxed transition for everyone.

Ideal Weather for a Fresh Start
Mild weather and extended daylight hours make summer a more enjoyable time to handle the logistics of moving, especially in Colorado where winters can slow things down. Unpacking boxes, assembling furniture, and exploring the neighborhood benefit from summer’s energy.

Time to Settle In Before the Holidays
Moving in during summer gives you a few months to get comfortable before the busy fall and winter seasons arrive. It’s the perfect time to set up your new space, build routines, and create a sense of home. By the time the holidays come around, you’re ready to host gatherings or just enjoy cozy nights in your new place.
