Is there a metro district at Solstice?

Yes — Mirabelle Metropolitan District No. 2 levies 92.927 mills (30.744 operating + 62.183 debt, 2025 levy paid in 2026). On a $750,000 home that is roughly $4,400 a year on your property tax bill, plus the $40/mo fee in the HOA.

What are total property taxes on a Solstice home?

Shea Homes estimates about 1.19% of the purchase price per year, metro district included — roughly $8,900 a year on a $750,000 home. Use our calculator and we confirm the exact figure with Douglas County before you buy.

Who builds at Solstice?

Shea Homes is the only builder. There are four collections selling now: Harmony (2-story), Horizon (ranch), Stargaze (1- and 2-story) and Reflection (ranch), from about $689K to $1.1M+.

Which schools serve Solstice?

Douglas County School District: Coyote Creek or Trailblazer Elementary, Ranch View Middle and ThunderRidge High. About 16 acres inside Solstice are reserved for a future school, and the new Blue Sky Elementary in nearby Sterling Ranch opens in 2027. Always confirm by address with DCSD.

Can I bring my own Realtor to Shea Homes at Solstice?

Yes — but Shea's broker policy requires your agent to be physically with you at your FIRST visit to the community and register you then (good for 90 days). If you visit or register online alone first, Shea may not work with your agent. Text us before you go — our help usually costs you nothing extra.

Do I have to use Shea Mortgage?

No. But the current 2.99% year-1 rate and most closing-cost credits require Shea Mortgage. We help you compare that offer against an outside lender.

What amenities does Solstice have?

The High Line House clubhouse (restaurant, fitness and movement studios, fire pit), resort-style pool, four pickleball courts, bocce, a 37-acre linear park with the North Meadow amphitheater, playgrounds, 6 miles of trails and direct access to the High Line Canal trail and Chatfield State Park.

How far is Solstice from Denver?

Solstice sits next to Chatfield State Park in Littleton. The community estimates about 35 minutes to the Denver Tech Center and about 40 minutes to downtown Denver, via Santa Fe Drive and C-470.

What is the landscaping rule after closing?

Front, side and rear landscaping must be finished within 90 days of closing; for closings between Oct 1 and Apr 1 the deadline moves to June 15. Exterior changes need architectural approval.

Who provides water and utilities at Solstice?

Water and sewer: Highlands Ranch Water. Electric and gas: Xcel Energy. Trash and recycling: Waste Connections (included in the HOA).
