Heritage Todd Creek Homes for Sale

Heritage Todd Creek, Thornton: the 55+ golf community

Heritage Todd Creek homes for sale sit in a 55+ golf community inside the City of Thornton, in Adams County, Colorado (ZIP 80602). Lennar built and marketed it as an age-restricted community, and the Census Bureau’s geocoder places its addresses inside Thornton city limits, not in the unincorporated Todd Creek area to the north. The Kenna Group at Keller Williams DTC keeps this page as the one place for Heritage Todd Creek listings: the grid at the top is the live list, updated daily.

Is Heritage Todd Creek in Thornton or unincorporated Todd Creek?

Thornton. The metro district’s public disclosure recorded with Adams County describes the district as "in the City of Thornton, Adams County, Colorado", and the Census geocoder returns Thornton city for the community’s addresses. "Todd Creek" on its own is a separate, unincorporated Census place with its own metro district, so a listing that says Todd Creek may not be in Heritage Todd Creek. Check the subdivision name on the county record.

What comes with the community?

• Todd Creek Golf Club. An 18-hole, par 72 course at 8455 Heritage Drive, designed by Arthur Hills and opened in 2007 under the name Heritage Todd Creek Golf Club.

• A metro district. Heritage Todd Creek Metropolitan District, created under a service plan approved September 23, 2002. Its adopted budget and transparency notice show a 48.050 mill levy for taxes collected in 2025.

What have Heritage Todd Creek homes sold for?

How do the 55+ rules work here?

Federal fair housing rules let a community limit sales or rentals by age only if it qualifies as housing for older persons. For a 55+ community that means at least 80% of occupied homes have at least one resident 55 or older, the community publishes and follows policies showing it is meant for people 55 and older, and it verifies ages, updating those records by survey at least once every two years (24 CFR 100.305 to 100.307). Housing for people 62 and older is stricter: every occupant must be 62 or older. So a 55+ label does not mean every resident is 55; the community’s own rules set who else may live in the home.

What should you check before an offer in Heritage Todd Creek?

• The age and occupancy rules in the recorded covenants: who must be 55 or older and whether younger household members may live there.
• Two sets of dues. Listings show fees billed monthly (often $120) or quarterly ($300 to $360). Ask which association bills what, and for the master association budget and reserve study.
• The metro district levy on the parcel, from the Adams County Assessor record, and any district fees.
• Golf course edges. Ask about stray balls, course maintenance hours and any easement on a fairway lot.
• The subdivision name. Confirm the county record says Heritage Todd Creek, not another Todd Creek neighborhood.

Colorado senior property tax exemption. An owner who is 65 or older on January 1 and has owned and lived in the home as a primary residence for at least 10 straight years can have 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value exempted, filed with the county assessor by July 15. A 2024 law (SB24-111) let a senior who already had the exemption move it to a new home for tax years 2025 and 2026; SB26-116 ends that portability starting with tax year 2027. If you are selling a long-held home to buy in a 55+ community, ask the county assessor how the exemption applies before you close.

HOA registration. Colorado requires every HOA to register with the Division of Real Estate each year (C.R.S. 38-33.3-401); an HOA whose registration lapses cannot enforce assessment liens until it re-registers. The Division’s HOA Information and Resource Center explains owner rights but does not regulate HOAs or settle disputes.
