Meet Charles and Debra Buck

 

 

We moved to the Green Mountain Estates neighborhood in June of 2007. Our previous home near Lakewood High School had become cramped and the yard required a lot of maintenance. When looking for a new home, we focused our search in west Lakewood, but kept coming back to a particular house on Green Mountain that really suited us both. With an increase in indoor space, a xeric landscape, and great city views from the deck, it was an easy decision for us.

 

Although this neighborhood is conveniently close to the city, it almost feels as though we are living in the mountains. The neighborhood has evolved since the sixties with a mix of home styles that give it a real character. We have good friends living just a few homes away, and we have come to know a number of our neighbors, who have been very kind and helpful.

 

Charles is a lifelong resident of Lakewood and is a transportation engineer with a consulting firm in the Tech Center. Debra moved to Colorado after graduating from the University of Nebraska. She is a financial services manager with the University of Colorado at Denver.

 

We met in 1985, shortly after Debra moved to Colorado, and were married in 1990. Our interests include travel and golf, and we both enjoy walks in the neighborhood as well as hikes in the nearby open space. We think Green Mountain is the perfect place for us, and we plan on many years together here in our new home.

Why We Live Here

by Gerald and Sue McDaniel, Arbutus Street

We moved to Lakewood in May 1976, the bicentennial year for the U.S. and the centennial year for Colorado. Just before moving, Gerald was employed by the National Park Service in Washington, D.C., and Sue was managing the household and caring for our two children, ages 6 and 4. The long commute in Virginia was not conducive to raising a family, and when we had the chance to move to Colorado, we jumped at it.

How and Why We Moved to Green Mountain 

by Desilyn Coday

My husband and I started our Marble and Granite business 11 years ago. Devron has always had his own business. Some with partners and some alone but it always has pertained to the Marble and Granite industry. So, this time he needed a partner he could trust and that would be me. We brought our 5 month old son to work with us. We built him his very own office next to mine. I would change his diapers and feed him while running all the financials and working with clients.  It was quite a challenge and lasted 4 years until he went to preschool.  When our son was 3 we started looking for a home on Green Mountain. We have always liked the neighborhood and the schools.
