Waterside at Todd Creek
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
D.R. Horton has been building here since 2023 with seven floor plans from 1,503 to 2,716 square feet, ranch and two-story layouts of three to five bedrooms on lots near a tenth to two tenths of an acre, carried by dues of about $67 a month. Community walkways link a set of waterside observation decks and small gathering areas rather than a single clubhouse. Despite the name, boundary data places the parcel inside Thornton city limits near 160th Avenue and Quebec Street, just south of the unincorporated Todd Creek community it borrows the name from. Larkridge Shopping Center at I-25 and 160th Avenue is about seven minutes west, and E-470 is roughly five minutes from the entrance.
