Quebec Highlands
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
D.R. Horton platted this 293 home community at 138th Avenue and Quebec Street, with two story and ranch plans of 2,000 to 3,500 finished square feet, basements, and two or three car garages on lots running toward a quarter acre. Quebec Highlands Park anchors the tract at close to 14 mapped acres of walking loops and open turf. The first flag was recorded in 2004 and amendments have continued into 2026, so the blocks fill in by phase rather than all at once. Ground on this edge of Thornton is high enough for long westward sight lines to the Front Range. Quebec Street runs south toward 120th Avenue, and the E-470 ramps sit under two miles east.
