Looking Glass
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Looking Glass is the master plan at Stroh Road and Crowfoot Valley Road on Parker's southwest edge, with five neighborhoods and roughly 2,489 planned homes. The Fields and The Ridge, built by Taylor Morrison, D.R. Horton, and Lennar, are sold out; sales now run through The Reserve, where Dream Finders Homes starts near $615K for 1,700 to 4,122 square feet and Richmond American offers Duos paired homes from the upper $500s and Legacy Pointe plans from the low $900s, plus Reverie, an 11-plan Dream Finders enclave opened in July 2026. Six parks, including Gambel Park, sit within 130-plus acres of open space, and Looking Glass Community Park adds pickleball, basketball, and a dog park, with The Range pool planned as the next amenity. Trails follow Lemon Gulch toward Brandy Gulch, Rueter-Hess Reservoir lies 2 miles northwest, and Stroh Road meets Parker Road in 1.6 miles, about 10 minutes from Mainstreet.
