Colorado 55+ Communities Map: Every Active Adult Community With Homes for Sale
110 active adult communities across the Front Range, mapped and numbered. The three tables list the 91 with homes for sale right now, 332 homes in all, with the price range in each and the city search for more. A pin number missing from a table is a community with nothing listed at the moment.
A live person answers. Not a robot, not a phone tree.
The short answer
Windsor Gardens in Denver and Heather Gardens in Aurora carry more 55+ homes for sale than the rest of the Front Range combined, and they are the least expensive way into an active adult community in Colorado. Newer communities such as Montaine in Castle Rock, Hilltop at Inspiration in Aurora, Anthem Ranch in Broomfield and Heritage Todd Creek in Thornton sell for two to three times as much and add a metro district to the HOA. The grid below lists every match live from the MLS, and the market stats under it show today's median price and price per square foot.

What to check before you buy in a 55+ community
- The age rule. Most Colorado communities require one resident 55 or older per home and cap younger residents; some allow 40+. Ask for the recorded covenant, not the brochure.
- HOA plus metro district. Older communities such as Windsor Gardens run $500 to $900 a month in HOA dues that include heat, water and the rec center; newer ones run $150 to $300 in HOA plus a metro district tax on the property bill. Compare the total.
- What the dues buy. Golf, pool, pickleball, restaurant, shuttle, exterior maintenance. Ask for the reserve study; a community with a 30-year-old clubhouse and a thin reserve has an assessment coming.
- Resale rules. Some communities restrict rentals and require buyer approval. That affects your exit as much as your entry.
- One level or not. Ranch plans and main-floor primary suites hold value best. See ranch homes and main-floor primary homes.
