Pole Creek Valley Offers Sweeping Views, Diverse Property Types, and Community Open Space in a Central and Easily-Accessed Location
Nestled in the valley along Pole Creek and Creeked Creek with ample open space and sweeping views of Winter Park Resort, Byers Beak, and the Continental Divide, Pole Creek Valley sits just outside of Tabernash - in the heart of it all but away from it all. Minutes from Fraser and a quick ten-minute drive to Granby, the Pole Creek Valley subdivision is centrally located, making it easy to take advantage of all the adventures Grand County has to offer.
The cozy and desirable neighborhood offers homebuyers a multitude of property types: single-family homes, townhomes, duplexes, and apartments all line the paved roads. And even with all the options and homesites, those mountain-living vibes are embedded into the community: acres of open space, welcoming neighbors, and the sound of creeks cascading through the property make a slower pace and appreciation for the natural surroundings the norm.
Other neighborhoods derive their monikers from the eponymous Pole Creek: nearby Fairways at Pole Creek and Pole Creek Meadows sit along the tranquil stream and also boast easy access to award-winning Pole Creek Golf and the Fraser-to-Granby Trail system. But what sets Pole Creek Valley apart is its quick proximity to Highway 40, varied property types, and relative affordability.
LOCATION
Minutes from downtown Tabernash (read: an easy bike ride to the Tabernash Tavern and a slightly more ambitious ride to Pole Creek's Bistro 28) and central access to downtown Winter Park (15 minutes), Winter Park Resort (20 minutes), Grand Lake and Rocky Mountain National Park (25 minutes), and all the golf you can soak in (Pole Creek Golf, Grand Elk Golf, Granby Ranch, and Grand Lake Golf), Pole Creek Valley offers easy access to it all. Hop on the Fraser-to-Granby trail from your place - whether mountain biking, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing, being able to hop on a trail out your door in Pole Creek Valley is truly what (adventurous) dreams are made of! Or drive a quick 10 minutes to experience Fraser and Winter Park's 600 miles of world-class trails. Skiing, hiking, fishing, biking, and more are easily accessed from Pole Creek Valley's central location, making it easy to see why properties in the community don't stay on the market long!
The main entrance to the neighborhood is on CR 5221 (Prairie Sage Road), the first right after downtown Tabernash when driving from Fraser, but you can also access CR 5221 off CR 5 (4 Bar 4 Road).

HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
The Pole Creek Valley Homeowners Association (PCVOA) is the umbrella association for the entirety of the Pole Creek Valley neighborhood, including single-family homes, Coyote Creek at Winter Park, and Lakeside at Pole Creek Townhome Association. Both Coyote Creek and Lakeside at Pole Creek also fall under HOAs specific to each development.
Current HOA fees vary by location and are always subject to change:
- Lakeside at Pole Creek: $98/month
- Single-Family homes: $19/month
- Coyote Creek at Winter Park: $98/month
- Vistas at Pole Creek: $150/month
PCVOA manages the open space, which includes community trails, a pond for paddle boarding, a play structure, and a picnic area. All community members have access to the space.
PCVOA allows short-term rentals; however, "sub" HOAs for the different developments may not. For example, Vistas at Pole Creek currently does not allow STRs. But there are plenty of other properties in Pole Creek Valley that have income potential!
The HOA regulations aim to keep the neighborhood well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing. Some regulations to that end ask homeowners to limit the parking of RVs, trailers, campers, boats, and equipment inside the structure or screened from view; keep trash cans to only be at the curb on pick-up day; and remove noxious weeds, dead brush, overgrowth, and trash. They also limit dogs, cats, or other pets to two per site and keep quiet hours from 10pm to 7am.
Design regulations vary by development. Coyote Creek, Lakeside at Pole Creek, and the Vistas at Pole Creek all have predetermined styles and exterior finishes while single-family homes can range from traditional mountain architecture to mountain-modern designs. Reach out to learn more about the specific design regulations for each neighborhood within the subdivision!
