A Broomfield Neighborhood Guide from The North Star Team
Broomfield's golf course master-planned community with 2,400 homes, championship golf, and mountain views
Overview
The Broadlands is one of Broomfield's largest and most distinctive master-planned communities — a residential golf course community of approximately 2,400 homes built around the 18-hole championship Broadlands Golf Course. Developed by Community Development Group from 1998 to 2018 in collaboration with architectural firms Calthorpe Associates and DTJ Design, The Broadlands was designed as a benchmark mixed-use master-planned community for Broomfield, with the City and County of Broomfield collaborating on growth management ordinances and design guidelines that reflect the city's values.
What makes The Broadlands distinctive within Broomfield is the breadth of housing variety unified by golf course living. The community features single-family homes, condos, townhouses, and patio homes — with home styles ranging from split-level ranches to Spanish Revival and contemporary Craftsman designs. Sidewalks line tree-lined streets, and many homes include stone patios, gardens, and privacy fencing. The community is part of the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district, with attendance assignments to Coyote Ridge Elementary, Westlake Middle School, and Legacy High School.
The 18-hole championship golf course winds throughout the neighborhood, providing both recreational opportunities and the landscape character that distinguishes The Broadlands from typical master-planned communities. The Grille restaurant at the golf course is known for its barbecue menu options. The Broadlands Club House offers an outdoor pool, basketball court, and playground for residents, while Broadlands Park West provides soccer and baseball fields, paved trails, and picnic areas.
One important consideration unique to The Broadlands: the HOA structure varies significantly based on which sub-community a home is in. Single-family homes, townhomes, condos, patio homes, and homes in specific enclaves like The Reserve and Ventana all have different HOA fee structures. The North Star Team works with both buyers and sellers in The Broadlands, with particular attention to navigating these sub-community distinctions and the unique value drivers of golf course community living.

Buyer Analysis
Transaction Strategy
The Broadlands buyers should expect a more complex HOA verification process than most master-planned communities. With multiple sub-community associations, master associations, and rec/activity fees layered together, the total monthly housing cost can vary dramatically based on which Broadlands sub-community a property is in. Buyers should specifically request HOA disclosures for all applicable associations before purchase. Other property-specific considerations include golf course frontage or proximity, water views, lot positioning relative to the course, recent updates, and which sub-community the property belongs to (The Reserve, The Cottages, Broadlands West, Ventana, etc.).
Learn About BuyingThe Broadlands sellers benefit from one of Broomfield's broadest buyer pools — first-time buyers, families, move-up buyers, downsizers, and golf enthusiasts. The community's diverse housing types and price points draw a wide range of buyer profiles. Pricing strategy should account for the specific sub-community (which directly affects HOA structure and total monthly cost), golf course or water view positioning, recent updates, and lot characteristics.
