Community Overview
Lakeview is a Richmond American Homes community near Boyd Lake in east Loveland, with quick access to I-25 and Highway 34 and an easy drive to Centerra, the Promenade Shops, Fort Collins and Windsor. Richmond builds four plans here: the Daniel (about 2,350 square feet, from about $739,950), Delaney (about 2,420 square feet, from about $739,950) and Pinecrest (about 2,440 square feet, from about $749,950) ranches, and the two-story Daley (about 3,480 square feet, from about $799,950), with 2 to 7 bedrooms (October 2026). Finished basements and 3-car garages are included, and buyers can personalize finishes on homes that haven't started construction. Listings show the community in Thompson School District, with High Plains School (K-8) and Mountain View High.
About the Community
Lakeview is actively selling, with homes ready to personalize alongside move-in ready homes. Richmond American is advertising special FHA financing on select homes (October 2026). Total finished square footage, including the basement, runs well above the plan sizes, which is why listing prices for finished homes can reach the high $800s to around $1 million.
Mark's Insight
"Lakeview is a strong fit if you want a ranch home with a finished basement near Boyd Lake without moving to the far edges of Loveland. Starting prices look high next to other Loveland options, but the basement and 3-car garage are included, so compare the price per finished square foot, not just the base price. Ask Richmond about HOA dues, any metro district, and which homes qualify for its financing offer, and compare that offer against an outside lender. 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
Richmond American hasn't published HOA details for Lakeview. Ask for the HOA name, monthly or annual dues, what's covered and the covenants for fencing, landscaping and rentals before you sign.
Metro/Tax District Info
Richmond American hasn't published metro district details for Lakeview. Many newer Loveland neighborhoods use one, so look up a completed home on the Larimer County Assessor site to see every taxing district, and ask Richmond for its property tax disclosure for your lot before you sign.
