Large and flexible infill residential development opportunity with General Development Plan within a 1,300 unit development known as Ponderosa Ridge in highly desirable Northwest Loveland location.
Master plan transitions from the higher density uses to the east, to lower density uses to the west including townhomes, paired homes or plex units, patio homes, single-family attached, and single-family detached homes.
Increased prices and rents from constrained future land supply due to foothills to the west, Fort Collins-Loveland public open space north of 57th Avenue and existing housing to the south.
Higher priced Fort Collins housing market to the north and short commute time is driving housing growth and price appreciation in Northwest Loveland Housing market.
City of Loveland Water District is more cost competitive than neighboring Fort-Collins Loveland Water District, and most other districts on the Front Range creating opportunity for increased margins.
