Real Estate in Denver and the Suburbs

The  Hearth is one of the newer neighborhoods in Highlands Ranch and in fact there is even still some new construction homes available.  The Hearth is located in Highlands Ranch, CO - Douglas County and is considered to be in the Southridge area of Highlands Ranch.   The zip code for The Hearth neighborhood in Highlands Ranch is 80130.  The Hearth is a part of the covenant community of Highlands Ranch, a south Denver suburb, and part of the Highlands Ranch Community Association.

The homes in The Hearth, Highlands Ranch are built by Shea Homes and Berkely Homes and are still very new.  Construction in this area started in 2005.   The homes in The Hearth have a wide price range depending on many factors but currently range from approximately $279,000 to $575,000 for resale homes.  New Construction Homes in The Hearth start right now in the low $400's.    Some of the determining price factors are size of lot, upgrades in the home, cul-de-sac location, backing to open space or the Highlands Ranch trails, and of course any mountain view possibilities. 

Some of the homes in The Hearth and The Retreat At The Hearth also back up to the land that is part of the BackCountry Wilderness.  Many of the homes in The Hearth were built and painted using bolder, richer colors of exterior paint than most other areas of Highlands Ranch and I actually find this quite appealing. 

Because The Hearth homes are still very new, many of the amenities within are ones that people are excited about.  Many of the homes have larger mud/laundry rooms, and even some have upstairs laundry rooms.  The closest tend to be a bit larger than the norm as well which has

been something I find Highlands Ranch home buyers looking for.
