CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — Location, location, location. 

That’s actually one reason why the St. Jude Dream Home 2012 should be your dream home, and it’s our reason number five.

Located just 26 miles south of downtown Denver, nestled in the highly desirable neighborhood of the Meadows at Castle Rock.

They say shopping is an outlet.

Well, we think it is too, and that’s why it’s number four on the list. “We have over 100 designer name brand stores at the Outlets at Castle Rock,” says Lisa Zetah, marketing director for the Outlets at Castle Rock, “…stores coming in the next couple of months, Michael Kors, Aldo, White House Black Market. And we’re only a mile away from the St. Jude Dream Home.”

And if you’re raising some young ‘uns, you couldn’t pick a better spot for reason number three. “Absolutely, Douglas County has some of the best schools in Colorado.

And, as a matter of fact, there’s Clear Sky Elementary School across the street from the St. Jude Dream Home,” said Paty Perez, from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

And the number one reason why the St. Jude Dream Home 2012 is worth a ticket?  Well, that’s easy.

A happy little 9-year-old girl named Brooklyn.

At three months old, Brooklyn was diagnosed with a rare blood disease. Now, she’s healthy and her mom, Danie, is speechless. “I can’t sum it up in words. It’s not something that can be reduced to a language.”

Buy a ticket, dream a little. And know that sick kids will continue to dream, too, thanks to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
