About the Community
LGI Homes builds homes ahead of buyers and sells them move-in ready, so you choose from finished or nearly finished homes rather than designing your own. That makes LGI one of the fastest paths into a new home in Northern Colorado, but it also means very little customization. LGI is advertising rates as low as 4.99% (5.864% APR) and covered closing costs through its Make Your Move event (October 2026). Ask for the full terms in writing, since offers like this are usually tied to LGI's preferred lender.
Mark's Insight
"Cottonwood Greens is one of the lowest-priced ways into new construction in Weld County, with homes starting under $400K and fenced yards and appliances included. It's a good fit for first-time buyers who want to move quickly and don't need a custom home. Fort Lupton is farther from Fort Collins and Loveland than most communities on this site, so drive your commute at rush hour before you decide. LGI's rate offers can look attractive, but get a written quote from an outside lender and compare the full monthly payment, including any metro district levy and HOA dues. Bring your own agent to your first visit."

Costs & Fees to Know
Many new construction communities in Northern Colorado use metro districts to finance infrastructure like roads, utilities, and amenities. This can add $150–$500+ per month to your housing costs depending on the mill levy. Understanding your true monthly payment—including metro district taxes, HOA dues, and property taxes—is essential before you buy.
HOA Information
LGI doesn't list HOA dues on its Cottonwood Greens page. Ask for the HOA name, monthly dues, what they cover (the shared parks, playground and trails need upkeep) and the rules on fencing, parking and rentals before you sign.
Metro/Tax District Info
LGI doesn't publish metro district details for Cottonwood Greens. Look up a completed home on the Weld County Assessor site to see every taxing district, and ask LGI for the property tax disclosure and mill levy for your lot before you sign. Have your lender use that exact figure.
