Falcon Creek
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Falcon Homes built the roughly 200 houses of Falcon Creek between 1987 and 1995 on Highlands Ranch's eastern edge, near Lincoln Avenue and Quebec Street and a few blocks from the Lone Tree line. Most plans are two-story, on lots that average about 0.22 acres, with a handful on South Ramshead Court reaching close to half an acre. Highland Heritage Regional Park, 92 acres with more than 3 miles of concrete trail, lighted turf fields, the Hound Hill off-leash area and the amphitheater that hosts the HRCA summer concert series, is a 2-minute drive at the same intersection. Eastridge Recreation Center is about 5 minutes west on Lincoln Avenue, Lincoln Avenue shopping is at the corner, and the RTD Lincoln station and I-25 are 8 to 10 minutes east.
