Painted Prairie new construction

Nine builders.
70+ floor plans.

Painted Prairie hosts a deliberately curated roster of nine national and regional homebuilders across its 640 acres. The mix is what gives the community its range — paired villas and three-story townhomes in the high $300s, single-family ranch and two-story homes through the $600s and beyond — often within a few blocks of one another. Here's who builds what, what makes each one distinct, and what to ask each sales office.

Why builder fluency matters

The MLS shows about half the picture.

A large share of Painted Prairie homes are sold directly by the builder and never appear on the MLS — especially quick move-in inventory that the sales office wants to clear before quarter-end. If you're searching only on Zillow or Redfin, you're missing roughly half of what's available.

The Principal Team maintains the current builder inventory list across all nine active builders, refreshed weekly from each sales office directly. We track base pricing, current promotions, lot premiums, and the homes that are about to break ground but haven't been released to public listings yet. Send us a price range and a timeline and we'll send the snapshot back the same day.

Below: the current builder roster, listed alphabetically. The active lineup and base pricing shifts as phases sell out and new phases open, so consider this a baseline — we'll send you the live current state when you reach out.

at Painted Prairie.

Century Communities

Haven I · Haven II single-family collections

Century Communities runs two collections at Painted Prairie: Haven I (low $500s, two-story floor plans around 1,700–2,300 square feet) and Haven II (mid $500s, ranch and two-story plans up to roughly 2,400 square feet). The two collections give buyers an unusually wide range from a single builder — same design center, same construction team, two distinct price points. Century is one of Colorado's largest production builders, which generally means more standardized timelines and a more predictable incentive cycle.

David Weekley Homes

Ranch & two-story single-family

David Weekley is the builder for buyers who care most about layout flexibility and a higher level of design center customization. They run two collections at Painted Prairie — one with front-load garages (from the high $500s) and one with alley-load garages (from the mid $500s). Plans range broadly, with the largest Weekley floor plan at Painted Prairie reaching roughly 4,000 square feet. Their design studio process is more involved than most production builders' and is worth scheduling time for.

KB Home

Single-family detached · Paired villas

KB Home runs two product lines at Painted Prairie that bookend a wide price band: paired villas with alley-load garages starting in the high $300s (the lowest entry point into the community), and single-family detached homes — both two-story and ranch — starting in the mid $400s. KB is the builder most willing to negotiate financing incentives through their in-house lender (KBHS Home Loans), which can be a meaningful concession when rates are elevated.

McStain Neighborhoods

Single-family · Two-story townhomes

McStain is a Colorado-based regional builder with a real focus on energy performance and indoor air quality — specs that tend to outperform the production-builder baseline. They run two collections at Painted Prairie: alley-load two-story townhomes (from the mid $400s) and detached two-story single-family homes (from the mid $500s, with floor plans up to roughly 2,500 square feet). McStain tends to be more flexible than national builders on small floor-plan modifications.

Pulte Homes

Two-story single-family with alley garages

Pulte is one of the country's largest production builders, which at Painted Prairie translates into a relatively narrow but well-priced two-story product. Floor plans run roughly 1,650 to 2,100 square feet from the mid $400s. Pulte's standard incentive packages (financing concessions, closing-cost credits) are typically among the most generous at the community, though their lot positioning options can be more limited than the smaller regional builders next door.

Remington Homes

Ranch & two-story single-family

Remington is a Colorado regional builder with two distinct collections at Painted Prairie: alley-load two-story homes (from the high $400s) and front-load ranch and two-story homes (from the mid $600s, with the largest floor plans reaching roughly 2,700 square feet). The front-load collection is one of the few options at Painted Prairie that mixes ranch and two-story options at the upper-middle price point. Lot positioning matters here — ask which Remington lots back to open space.

Risewell Homes

Garden Court two-story single-family

Risewell builds the Garden Court collection — two-story detached single-family homes with alley-load garages, starting in the low $500s. Floor plans range from roughly 1,300 to 2,200 square feet across six plans. Risewell is a smaller regional builder than KB or Pulte, which means more flexibility on customization at the design center but fewer formal incentive programs. Ask about lot positioning relative to the central greenway — some Garden Court lots are noticeably better than others.

Toll Brothers

Skyview & Horizon three-story townhomes

Toll Brothers builds the only townhome product at Painted Prairie: three-story townhomes in two collections. The Skyview Collection starts in the high $300s with floor plans around 1,350–1,500 square feet. The Horizon Collection starts in the mid $400s with larger floor plans up to roughly 1,950 square feet. Toll's sales office runs design center incentives and closing-cost credits in a fairly predictable cycle, which is something we track and can time around. End units and lots backing to open space carry real premiums — some of which are negotiable.

Tri Pointe Homes

Two-story single-family with alley garages

Tri Pointe is a national builder with a stronger design-forward reputation than most production peers — cleaner exterior elevations and more thoughtful kitchens at the base level than is typical at this price point. Their Painted Prairie product is alley-load two-story single-family, starting in the low $500s. The plan lineup is unusually broad, with floor plans running from roughly 1,600 square feet to over 3,000, which gives buyers a real range without changing builders.

Builder negotiation

Six questions most buyers don't ask.

When you walk into a builder sales office, the agent is paid to sell you that builder's homes. Their job isn't to compare them to the builder next door. These are the questions we ask on your behalf — and the ones that most often produce real concessions.

I.

Which lot premiums are actually negotiable?

Builder sales offices list lot premiums like they're fixed prices. They aren't. End-of-quarter, end-of-phase, and slow-moving floor plans frequently produce lot-premium credits of $5,000 to $15,000 — if you know to ask.

II.

What's the real design center allowance?

The "included" features list and the "standard" features list are different documents. Builders will sometimes apply an allowance toward upgrades as a concession, especially if your home is at the start of a phase and they want to ship it as a model. Knowing the difference is worth real money.

III.

Where are we in the incentive cycle?

Most national builders run quarterly or monthly incentive programs — rate buydowns, closing-cost credits, free finished basements. The same home costs different amounts depending on when you sign. We track each builder's cycle and time your contract accordingly.

IV.

Should I use the in-house lender?

The builder's preferred lender often offers the best closing-cost concession, but rarely the best long-term rate. The math is specific to your situation. We help you run it against an outside lender and tell you which actually saves you more over the loan's life.

V.

What's the real build calendar?

The sales office's quoted build time and the construction superintendent's actual schedule are usually two different numbers. We walk the site, talk to the super, and get you the realistic close date so you can plan a move or a sale of your existing home accordingly.

VI.

What's in the HOA that isn't in the brochure?

Painted Prairie has a master HOA plus, for some product types, a sub-association. Read both. We help you flag the rules that actually matter: exterior modifications, fence types, RV/trailer parking, short-term rental policy, future assessments that haven't been levied yet.
