Sugar Creek in Loveland, CO
Sugar Creek is part of the broader market for new construction homes in Loveland CO — see how it compares to other new construction homes in Northern Colorado before you decide.
Community Overview
Sugar Creek is a new 171-acre master-planned community in north Loveland, at the southeast corner of Highway 287 and East 71st Street, with easy access to I-25, Fort Collins and downtown Loveland. Developed by locally owned Black Timber Builders, it's planned for up to 1,110 homes across single-family, single-family attached, multifamily, for-sale and for-rent options. Taylor Morrison will offer three collections: the Alpine Collection with spacious yards, up to five bedrooms and optional basements; the low-maintenance Horizon Collection; and the City Collection, its largest homes with private yards, included basements and 3-car garage options. TruMark Homes is also building in the community. The plan includes two community parks and direct connections to the Loveland Regional North Trail system.
About the Community
Sugar Creek is coming soon. Infrastructure work began in December 2025 and is targeted to finish in fall 2026, with single-family home sales expected in spring 2027 and first move-ins in summer 2027, according to the developer. The project includes more than $79 million in public improvements, including East 71st Street, the Louden Ditch, extensions of 65th Street and Monroe Avenue, upgrades at the Highway 287 intersection, and new water and sewer lines. As a large master plan with apartments and several builders, expect construction to continue in phases for years.
Mark's Insight
"Sugar Creek is one of the biggest new communities coming to north Loveland, and getting on the interest list early is how you get first pick of homesites and launch pricing. The mix of Taylor Morrison's three collections and TruMark gives buyers a real range of home sizes. A master plan with this much new infrastructure often comes with a metro district, so ask about the mill levy, HOA dues and which phase each homesite is in before you commit. Bring your own agent from your first conversation with a builder."

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
Expect an HOA at Sugar Creek that maintains the community parks, trails and landscaping and enforces design standards across builders. Dues haven't been published yet, so ask each builder for the HOA budget, what it covers and whether dues differ by home type once sales open.
Metro/Tax District Info
Metro district details for Sugar Creek haven't been published yet. Large Loveland master plans with major new infrastructure often use one, and Loveland encourages buyers to check before they buy. When sales open, ask Taylor Morrison or TruMark for the metro district disclosure, the current and maximum mill levy for your homesite, and have your lender use those exact figures.
