Silo Filing 1 is the completed first filing of a larger planned neighborhood. City records distinguish it from the later Phase 2 planning process. Keep those identities separate when you review a home, its plat, association documents, district obligations, warranty, and nearby work.
Lafayette city limits and neighborhoods map

Teal pins mark landmarks. Rust pins mark local favorites: places to eat, shop and get outside. Sage pins mark Lafayette neighborhoods with homes for sale, each placed at the center of its listings.

Local favorites in Silo
- Bullhead Gulch Open Space: City open space along Bullhead Gulch near Arapahoe Road, a wildlife corridor with a short north-south trail.
- Yarrow Park: Neighborhood park northeast of 95th Street and Arapahoe Road with a basketball court, playground, picnic shelter and looping path.
- Autumn Ash Park: Small city park with a sloped lawn, a playground, a grill and a picnic table.
The useful comparison is one exact home against another: construction date, lot relationship, drainage, remaining warranty, prior work, and the records attached to the address.
Keep Filing 1 and Phase 2 Separate
City materials say Phase 1 began in 2022 and identify the northern land as a later PUD amendment and final phase. A Phase 2 plan can explain future streets, housing types, drainage, utilities, parks, or construction nearby, but it does not replace the recorded Filing 1 plat or the current documents for a Filing 1 home.
Use the legal description, county property record, recorded plat, title work, and seller disclosures to confirm the filing. Then review current City development materials for work that could affect the home's surroundings.
Compare Construction, Maintenance, and Shared Costs
| Record | What it answers | What to compare |
|---|---|---|
| Home and builder file | Completion, warranty, options, and repairs | Final permits, inspection, drainage, finishes, and warranty status |
| Association documents | Rules, approvals, common maintenance, and charges | Budget, reserves, insurance, minutes, and approved exterior work |
| District and City records | Public improvements, district maintenance, open space, and later-phase plans | Exact district, tax bill, service plan, map, and current project status |
Verify the Exact Home Before an Offer
Inspect grading, drainage, landscaping, roof and exterior condition, mechanical systems, and any owner changes. Ask for permits and written approvals when applicable. Build the monthly cost from the exact tax bill, insurance quote, association charges, utilities, and owner maintenance.
City plans identify a split between City-maintained open space and privately owned areas maintained by a metro district. Verify the boundary and responsibility for the exact property rather than assuming all green space has the same owner or maintenance source.
Questions Buyers Ask About Silo Filing 1
Is Filing 1 the same as all of Silo?
No. City records distinguish completed Phase 1 from the later Phase 2 planning and plat process. This guide and its homes page stay on Filing 1.
What should I verify on a recently built home?
Check final permits, builder warranty, inspection findings, grading, drainage, landscaping, included finishes, and documented repairs.
Which body maintains nearby green space?
City plans describe both City-maintained open space and privately owned areas maintained by a metro district. Confirm the boundary for the exact home.
Which association documents matter?
Review current governing documents, budget, reserves, insurance, minutes, charges, assessments, and approval records.
How should I evaluate Phase 2 plans?
Use current City records to understand approved or proposed changes nearby, then verify the latest status and physical relationship to the exact home.
