The Town of Breckenridge nestled in the Colorado Rocky Mountains offers a Victorian heritage and a satisfying lifestyle and it now boasts the crowning-glory community of Highlands at Breckenridge in its northern reaches.
Midst the world-class Breckenridge Ski Resort, highly regarded Breckenridge Golf Course, the GoldRun Nordic Center, and organized festivals and activities all year round, it is no wonder that the Highlands at Breckenridge’s real estate quickly sold out over the 14 years since the development began. Home sales have increased steadily over time. Last year the average price for the homesites was $318,000 and the Breckenridge home prices averaged over $1,700,000.
The Highlands at Breckenridge real estate provides just the right balance of privacy and community life for residents, which by the way, has been enhanced by the homeowners themselves. Four property-owner associations (Highlands at Breckenridge, Highlands at the Golf Course, Braddock Hill and Highlands Park) provide support for design and building approvals and lots of other perks for the community. The Highlands at Breckenridge association includes the 145 homesites, Highlands at the Golf Course includes the 250 homesites in Golf Course as well as Fox Crossing, Highlands Glen, Willow Run, The Crescent, and GoldRun; Braddock Hill includes 32 homesites; and Highlands Park includes 161 in Highlands Park, Discovery Hill Phases I, II, and III and Discovery Ridge.
The Internet has provided a great way for owners to keep in touch with community discussions, meetings, projects, newsletters, new neighbors, and find maps, and the like. Now that the neighborhoods are shaping up with lots of residents, the boards are receiving more requests for modifications and improvements following the Design Guidelines. Landscaping, exterior color schemes, signage, and additions are carefully arranged to fit in with the purpose and personality of the subdivisions.
Miles of roads and infrastructure and extensive landscaping—all completed months ahead of schedule—facilitated the efforts to keep up with buyer demand. Demand for Highlands at Breckenridge homes and homesites continues to rise, resulting in a substantial decrease in the number of homesites listed for sale. Home re-sales have increased, however, easing the demand.
The area literally lights up in the winter months when residents and visitors relish in the Nordic and backcountry trails, snowmobiling, skiing, and snowboarding at one of the world's foremost alpine resorts just out the door from the Highlands community. Voted the 6th top resort in North America by Ski Magazine two years in a row, the Town’s decades of ski and board improvements do get noticed. The Ski Resort boasts the highest chairlift in North America, reaching 12,840 feet in elevation and accessing 400 acres of famed expert and advanced intermediate terrain. Four peaks boasting 4 terrain parks and 4 half-pipes, two high-speed, six-passenger SuperChairs, a renowned Ski & Ride School.
There may be ghost towns in the other mountains but this town is brimming with over 250 shops and boutiques and 139 bars and restaurants. No need to drive to Denver to find all the style and comforts for home, to dine with international choice cuisine, take in a play or a concert, or to meet people from all over the world.
The pleasures of a community are attuned to nature and designed to accommodate a rewarding personal lifestyle.
