I'm Brian Lee Burke, and I've been a REALTOR since 2003. Heritage Hills and RidgeGate are both in the City of Lone Tree, but they're different places to buy: one is a gated, built-out neighborhood from the 1990s and 2000s, and the other is a 3,500-acre planned development that's still growing east of I-25. Here's how they compare, using MLS data I pulled on October 29, 2026 and official city and county sources.
Call or text my team, and we'll compare any two addresses for you.
The short version
Heritage Hills is gated and built out, with a $1,597,400 median on 26 sales in the year ending October 29, 2026. RidgeGate is Lone Tree's 3,500-acre planned development with three light rail stations; homes listed under the RidgeGate name sold at a $717,500 median on 24 sales. Both sit in Lone Tree, which levies no city property tax, but metro districts differ.
