Firelight lies nestled in the south eastern part of Highlands Ranch. It was completed in late 2006/early 2007 and represents a large portion of the Highlands Ranch population.
Several builders and price points can be found within Firelight starting in the high 200s and quickly moving into the mid 300s before topping out in the mid 700s. Detached, single family homes, patio homes, and townhomes can all be found in Firelight. Square footages average approx 2100 with a low of 1400 and a high of well over 4000. To be clear, this is above grade square footage only. Shea Homes, Joyce, Beezer, Richmond Homes and Berkeley Homes can all be found here.
With the addition of the shopping center at Highland Walk, Firelight is truly a walking community. All the convenient comforts can be found at Highland Walk. King Soopers is there as are the usual suspects to be found at nearly every strip in the area. Starbucks makes a strong effort here as well. Walking to Starbucks on a Saturday morning is one of our favorite things to do.
The new Southridge Recreation Center, completed in October of 2007 was the finishing touch for Firelight. This state of the art facility is the crown jewel of the 4 Rec Centers strategically located throughout Highlands Ranch. Here you can find an indoor water park, outdoor pool as well. There are indoor basketball courts, indoor volleyball courts, a full, free weight area, over 2 dozen cardio machines and the list goes on. Lighted, outdoor tennis courts make this rec Center unique.
As is the case for all of Highlands Ranch’s sub areas, the walking paths go right through the open space areas. This is a tremendous intangible benefit of life here. There is never a walking path more than 100 yards from your front door in Firelight. Not just for walkers either! Ride your bike or roller blade along the miles of paths that interconnect these neighborhoods.
