The Epcon Model in Denver

Epcon Communities specializes in attached villa products for 55+ buyers — the same builder active in the Raleigh-Durham market with multiple Courtyards communities in Chapel Hill and Cary. The model is consistent: attached single-story villas, exterior maintenance fully covered (paint, roof, lawn, snow), pool and fitness amenities, and a price point below standalone 55+ communities with comparable coverage.

The Courtyards at Lupton Village is Epcon’s Thornton product — in the north Denver corridor, close to Heritage Todd Creek and the north suburban retail base. Buyers comparing the Epcon model against Heritage Todd Creek should understand the key difference: Todd Creek is large (1,100+ homes), detached single-family, golf community, more social programming. Lupton is small (~100 homes), attached villas, genuinely maintenance-free, lower price point.

What the Epcon HOA actually coversThe ~$285/month HOA at Lupton Village covers: exterior home painting, roof maintenance and replacement, lawn care, snow removal (driveways and walks), common area maintenance, pool and fitness access. This is substantially more coverage than Heritage Todd Creek’s HOA, which covers amenity access and common areas but not individual home exterior maintenance. Net-adjusted for maintenance savings, the Epcon HOA cost is competitive with or lower than seemingly cheaper alternatives.

True Monthly Cost

All-in monthly cost — $450K Lupton Village home

HOA fee (incl. exterior maintenance)~$285/mo
Adams Co. property tax (~0.65%)~$244/mo
Homeowners insurance (CO hail — lower for attached)~$100–$140/mo
Utilities~$155–$200/mo
Total monthly carrying cost (excl. mortgage)~$784–$869/mo

The insurance estimate is lower than for detached 55+ homes because Epcon’s master HOA policy covers the building envelope — the individual homeowner only insures the interior. This is a genuine cost reduction compared to Heritage Todd Creek or Anthem Ranch, where individual homeowners carry full property insurance on detached homes.
