New Construction in Highlands Ranch

We were out previewing Highlands Ranch last weekend, South of E470 and South of Lucent Blvd.  There is a surprising amount of new development going on; commercial, residential, a strip mall.  We stopped in to preview the Spaces development by Shea Homes to see the latest trends.  I was impressed.  Price points ranged from $240k – low $300k.  The designs provide a loft feel, with a very open main and all the bedrooms upstairs.  Basements and garages are mostly downstairs – sort of like detached townhomes.  Outdoor spaces are usable, but very limited to a side/back patio that is designed to be very private.  Front lawns are maintained by the HOA, so it is ideal for people who do not want to do yard work but also don’t want to share walls.  I like the idea…
