Home options in Powderhorn subdivisions and their prices

Single-family homes in the Eagle Point and Panorama Ridge subdivisions are connected by sidewalks. Architectural styles include New Traditional homes with Craftsman influence and ranch-style patio homes. "It does have some three-car garages, some bigger floor plans — kind of a [19]90s build out,” says Jeremy Kane, a realtor with eXp Realty, who has over 12 years of experience. Home prices range from the mid $600,000s to just over $1 million. According to Kane, these types of homes are common in this greater Littleton area. “There’s not a ton of new stuff here. There are little pop-up townhome communities, some three-story row home stuff, but not as far as detached […] The majority is going to be this ‘90s era kind of build out,” Kane says.
