Mile High Home Group – Welcome to Denver

Yes, Highlands Ranch features ongoing new builds, primarily custom homes and townhomes in select villages and edges—phased developments add 50-100 units yearly at $800K-$1.5M, blending modern designs with the community’s master-planned polish.

Locations and Types of New Construction

After 15+ years in Denver real estate and thousands of transactions, I’ve guided clients to Highlands Ranch’s fresh pockets like Northridge expansions or C-470 corridor lots. Builders focus on 3,000-5,000 sq ft two-stories and ranches with open layouts, smart homes, and Energy Star features—quick-move-in options near rec centers or trails. Townhome clusters appeal to starters at $600K-$800K, all under HOA oversight ($200-$500 fees) for seamless integration. In the Colorado housing market, these sustain demand amid low overall inventory, unlike sporadic Littleton real estate infill.

Gated luxury phases target families with school proximity.

Market Role and Comparisons

New builds sell briskly (15-30 days) to relocators, commanding 5-7% premiums over resales due to warranties and finishes—Douglas County schools (Mountain Vista feeders) amplify appeal. Compared to Highlands Ranch real estate’s steady new supply, Littleton leans renovated older stock; core Denver real estate chases high-rises. Market cycles slow starts in downturns but rebound with C-470 growth, keeping medians firm at $700K+.

Trails and amenities tie new homes to lifestyle perks.

Practical Advice for Buyers and Sellers

Buyers, visit spec homes early—lock builder incentives like lot premiums; inspect soils for basements, negotiate upgrades. Families prioritize school-adjacent phases; time for spring deliveries.

Sellers of lots, market build potential—price to comps blending new/resale data. Existing owners eyeing trade-ups, stage for new-home contrast.

My hands-on, concierge-level service scouts build sites block-by-block, weighs school/HOA/trail fits through market cycles, builds pricing from fresh permits, and negotiates relentlessly for turnkey wins. Clients are long-term relationships and friends, not transactions—integrity, honesty, transparency, and relentless work ethic spot the best new opportunities.
