Verona

Independent Assessment

Multiple sources consistently confirm that the original Verona community — the Manors and Villas collections built by the Verona Building Company between 2012 and 2016 — is a genuine, marketed 55-and-better community, corroborated across 55places.com, Kenna Real Estate, Kenneth James Realty, Topretirements, and other Highlands Ranch-focused real estate sources, all describing the same two-collection structure, floor-plan lineup, and High Line Canal location. Buyers must not confuse this community with a separate, newer "Verona Townhomes" project at 8412 Galvani Trail E in Highlands Ranch, built and sold more recently by Century Communities, or with a separately announced 227-unit "Verona" apartment rental project by Century Living — neither of which carries the original Verona's 55+ age restriction, and neither of which is covered or reflected here. Buyers should request collection-specific fee figures before purchasing, since it could not be confirmed whether the Manors and Villas sit under fully identical or separately tiered HOA dues; the two are treated as a single combined community because every source reviewed describes them together as one Verona neighborhood sharing a common HOA fee-coverage description and location along the High Line Canal, rather than as two independently marketed products.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a Tuscan-style, low-maintenance 55-plus home along a scenic canal-trail setting, with a choice between a smaller two-story Manor unit and a larger, canal-backing Villa, are a strong fit for the original Verona community. Its Highlands Ranch location also suits buyers who want walkable access to the High Line Canal and South Suburban Trail alongside the broader Highlands Ranch Community Association's parks and recreation centers.

Homes, Builders & Development History

The Verona Building Company developed the original Verona community in Highlands Ranch between 2012 and 2016, offering eight floor plans across two named collections: the Manors (Porto, Fredo, Leonardo, and Maestro models, 1,240-1,653 square feet, in two-story buildings with a choice of first- or second-floor units) and the Villas (Albero, Barone, Capello, and Donatello models, 2,596-2,857 square feet, backing to the High Line Canal). The community is reported at around 500 residences in total. A separate, later Century Communities project also using the Verona name — offering non-age-restricted townhomes at 8412 Galvani Trail E — is a distinct, unrelated development and is not covered here.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Reported resale pricing at Verona spans roughly $465,000 to $740,000, reflecting the range between the smaller Manors units and the larger, canal-backing Villas. Because the community is entirely resale, buyers should request current listings and recent closed comparables for the specific collection and floor plan under consideration from a connected local agent.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Verona is a fully built-out, entirely resale community; there is no new construction within the original age-restricted Manors and Villas collections. Buyers should budget for a full independent inspection, and should request the HOA's current financials and reserve study before purchasing. Buyers interested in new construction under the Verona name should note that any new-construction activity in the immediate area belongs to the separate, non-age-restricted Century Communities Verona Townhomes project rather than this age-restricted community.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes in Verona are subject to Douglas County property tax at the county's current mill levy, along with any applicable Highlands Ranch metropolitan-district charges. Colorado offers a Senior Property Tax Exemption for qualifying long-term homeowners age 65 and older, a state-level benefit separate from this community's 55+ HOA eligibility threshold. Buyers should confirm the current combined mill levy and senior exemption eligibility directly with the Douglas County Assessor's Office.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Verona offers a low-maintenance, canal-side lifestyle built around its Tuscan-style architecture and direct access to the High Line Canal and South Suburban Trail for walking. The two-collection structure gives residents a choice between the more compact, two-story Manors buildings and the larger, single-level Villas backing directly to the canal, within a single, cohesively built 2012-2016 neighborhood.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Verona is located at 2429 Primo Rd, Highlands Ranch, CO 80129, along the High Line Canal and South Suburban Trail. The location provides access to the broader Highlands Ranch Community Association's trails, parks, and recreation centers, along with reasonably close access to the C-470 corridor and southwest Denver-metro shopping and healthcare.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

The original Verona community (the Manors and Villas collections built by the Verona Building Company) is confirmed by multiple independent real estate sources as a 55-and-better community, consistently described as open to adults aged 55 and better. Buyers should confirm current age-verification procedures and the exact recorded covenant text directly with the Verona HOA before purchasing; no official HOA-published covenant citation confirming the exact legal restriction language was found. Buyers should also confirm that the specific home under consideration is part of the original, age-restricted Verona community rather than the separate, non-age-restricted Verona Townhomes project by Century Communities.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Buyers researching Verona online should take care to distinguish this original, age-restricted Manors-and-Villas community (2012-2016, Verona Building Company) from the separate, newer, non-age-restricted Verona Townhomes project by Century Communities and the unrelated Verona apartment rental project by Century Living, both of which use the same "Verona" name in the same general Highlands Ranch area but are different developments. Buyers should request collection-specific numbers directly from the HOA, since a specific current monthly HOA dollar figure and whether Manors and Villas dues differ could not be confirmed. As a community built in a single decade-plus window (2012-2016), home ages and finish levels are relatively consistent, but buyers should still budget for a full independent inspection on any resale purchase.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within Highlands Ranch's 55-plus cluster, Verona is distinguished by its Tuscan-style architecture and direct High Line Canal frontage, offering a newer (2012-2016) alternative to the older, golf-course-adjacent Gleneagles Village elsewhere in Highlands Ranch. Buyers who want canal-trail access and a choice between compact Manor units and larger Villa units should focus on Verona, while buyers who prefer a golf-course setting with a longer-established resale history may prefer Gleneagles Village.

Current Listings

A connected local agent can provide current available resale inventory, recent closed comparables for the specific collection and floor plan, and current HOA pricing at the original, age-restricted Verona community.

Is Verona age-restricted?

The original Verona community — the Manors and Villas collections built by the Verona Building Company from 2012-2016 — is consistently described by multiple independent sources as a 55-and-better community. A separate, newer, non-age-restricted Verona Townhomes project by Century Communities in the same Highlands Ranch area is a different, unrelated development and is not covered here.

What is the difference between the Manors and the Villas at Verona?

The Manors are four smaller floor plans (roughly 1,240-1,653 sq. ft.) in two-story buildings with first- or second-floor units. The Villas are four larger floor plans (roughly 2,596-2,857 sq. ft.) that back directly to the High Line Canal. Both are treated as one combined Verona community, since sources consistently describe them together as a single neighborhood.

How many homes are in Verona?

Reported at around 500 residences total across the Manors and Villas collections, though a precise per-collection breakdown could not be independently verified.

What is the HOA fee at Verona?

A specific current monthly dollar figure could not be found in public sources. Reported coverage includes cable TV, common-area insurance, grounds maintenance, sewer, snow removal, trash, and recycling. Confirm current, collection-specific dues with the Verona HOA.
