Northridge’s affluent homes and suburban lifestyle
Winding roads of beautifully maintained homes comprise most of Northridge, a sprawling suburb central to Highlands Ranch. “It was one of the first neighborhoods in Highlands Ranch and has the original houses from the 1980s. It was chosen to offer the area’s medium-level price range,” says Realtor Alan Larson with Kentwood Real Estate, who has over 40 years of experience and lives in the area. “It’s a very well-run community, and a great place to live.” Parks and schools are scattered throughout, with walking paths connecting them.
Multi-story properties from the 1980s and after
Homes in Northridge are found along sidewalk-lined cul-de-sacs and have large, well-kept lawns decorated with mature trees and shrubbery. Most of these properties are multi-story and built between the 1980s and 2000s. Some have new traditional architecture with simple vinyl exteriors, slanted roofs and a front porch area, while others sport a more contemporary design with a tucked-in garage. There are also Craftsman-inspired homes with features such as stone accents, front gables and multiple pointed roofs. Prices range between $750,000 and $1.2 million, depending on property size. A handful of Craftsman and Tudor-inspired estates in the neighborhood can cost $1.4 million to $2 million. “The value for the size of the home tends to be better in Northridge, compared to the rest of Highlands Ranch,” Larson says. Multi-story townhouses and contemporary condos are another housing option in Northridge. These properties are smaller and go for $375,000 to $425,000. According to Larson, Northridge residents must join the larger Highlands Ranch Community Association (HRCA) and follow its guidelines for home maintenance. This membership comes with access to the association’s recreational amenities and social events. However, Northridge itself does not have a sub association.
