Solstice

Solstice is a boutique master-planned community by Shea Homes in Littleton, Colorado, tucked into the Roxborough area just south of Chatfield Lake and the High Line Canal. Construction began in 2020 with plans for approximately 400 homes within the age-targeted portion and 1,100 total lots across the wider master plan. What sets Solstice apart is its setting: the community is bordered by Chatfield State Park on three sides, with direct access to miles of trails, acres of open greenspace, and the southernmost terminus of the 71-mile High Line Canal. Shea Homes offers five distinct collections at Solstice, allowing buyers to choose the lifestyle that fits them best. The Horizon Collection features ranch-style homes from roughly 1,832 to 3,215 square feet with main-floor living, and the Reflection Collection offers four ranch floorplans from 2,369 to 4,045 square feet — these two collections form the age-targeted portion of the community marketed to active adult buyers. The Harmony Collection (2,026–2,740 sq ft), Stargaze Collection (2,230–4,429 sq ft, including two-story and ranch plans), and Trails Edge Collection (larger two-story designs) round out the master plan with all-ages options. Homes feature open-concept great rooms, gourmet kitchens with large islands, spa-inspired master suites, covered patios, and optional finished basements, with exterior styles inspired by Modern Farmhouse, Lake Cottage, and Highline Ranch aesthetics. At the heart of Solstice is The High Line House, an amenity-rich clubhouse with a resort-style outdoor pool, fitness center, indoor and outdoor social gathering spaces, event lawn, bocce ball courts, pickleball courts, and panoramic views of the Front Range. Community parks, pocket gardens, and miles of trails tie into the regional trail network. A full-time activities director plans events for social clubs and special interest groups, helping residents connect year-round. Beyond the gates, Solstice benefits from a rare natural setting. Chatfield State Park wraps the community and offers kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, and horseback riding on Chatfield Lake, plus hiking and biking on miles of trails. The Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Farms is nearby, and the Rocky Mountain foothills and ski resorts are within roughly an hour's drive. Easy access to Highway 85 and C-470 connects residents to downtown Denver (about 40 minutes away), the shopping and dining of Highlands Ranch Parkway, and major employment centers. Multiple hospitals — Littleton Adventist, Castle Rock Adventist, Porter Adventist, and Rose Medical Center — are within reach, and golfers have their pick of Highlands Ranch Golf Club, Deer Creek Golf Club, Columbine Country Club, and South Suburban Golf Course. Monthly homeowner assessments of approximately $164/month combine an HOA fee (covering the High Line House amenity and trash removal) with a Metro District fee that funds parks, trails, open space, and landscaping.
