Why Summer is the Perfect Time to Move
Jul 15, 2025 • Denver Area, CO
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.
Explore the Neighborhood in Full Swing
Shea communities truly come alive this season. Parks, pools, trails, and gathering spaces are buzzing with activity, so you’ll get a true sense of what day-to-day life feels like. Whether you’re stopping by a food truck event, relaxing at the community pool, or meeting neighbors at an outdoor concert, it’s a chance to plug into the social rhythms of your new home right away.
Move-In Ready Homes Are Available Now
Many Shea Homes® communities offer quick move-in homes, which means you can skip the long wait and move in before the season ends. They’re beautifully designed and thoughtfully finished, giving you all the benefits of a new build without the build time. From floorplan flexibility to design-forward finishes, these residences are ready for your personal touch.
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.
A Community Designed for Year-Round Living
Shea Homes® communities are built to be lived in and loved all year long. With outdoor living spaces, modern amenities, and access to nature, you’ll find that summer is just the beginning. Every season brings new ways to enjoy your community.
