Braddock Hill
Braddock Hill is easy to describe: every sold home in the filing is on Highfield Trail. About 34 parcels, all single-family, built from 2000 to 2018 with a median year of 2004. Sold homes run roughly 2,500 to 6,200 square feet, with the middle half of the market between about 3,400 and 5,000 and a median near 4,500. Two-car garages slightly outnumber 3-car here, which is unusual in the Highlands and reflects the earlier build era.

Quick Take
Braddock Hill is a single-street filing at the north end of the Highlands, which makes it coherent and easy to understand. It suits someone who wants the Highlands setting with a shorter run toward Frisco and I-70, and who'd rather have land than golf frontage.
It also runs a little smaller and a little older than the marquee filings, with 2-car garages more common. That generally makes it a more approachable way into the community, as long as you're comfortable with the drive into Breckenridge.
The Homes
Braddock Hill is easy to describe: every sold home in the filing is on Highfield Trail. About 34 parcels, all single-family, built from 2000 to 2018 with a median year of 2004. Sold homes run roughly 2,500 to 6,200 square feet, with the middle half of the market between about 3,400 and 5,000 and a median near 4,500. Two-car garages slightly outnumber 3-car here, which is unusual in the Highlands and reflects the earlier build era.
The single-street layout gives this filing a clearer sense of place than the bigger ones. You're not choosing between scattered pockets, you're choosing a position along one road, and the differences come down to where you sit on the hill, your exposure, and how much tree cover the lot kept.
One thing worth knowing before you shop: the build range spans eighteen years. That's a long time in mountain construction. Confirm the actual year and what's been replaced rather than assuming the filing is uniform, because a 2000 home and a 2018 home on the same street are very different purchases.
The North End
Braddock Hill sits at the northern end of the Highlands and is reached from the Tiger Road side rather than through the middle of the community. That puts it at the Frisco and I-70 end, which shortens the drive north and lengthens the one into Breckenridge compared with the golf-side filings.
Whether that's a plus depends entirely on how you'll actually use the home. If you're driving to Denver regularly or you spend more time in Frisco than on Main Street, it's a real advantage. If you picture yourself in Breckenridge most evenings, it's a longer drive than you might want. Worth being honest with yourself about that before you shop, because it's the one thing about this filing you can't change later.
The Blue River and the Colorado Trail are both in this part of the county. Listings here lean on that pretty hard. What I'd say is that the trail and the river exist nearby, and how directly any specific lot connects to either varies quite a bit. Check the routing on a current trail map for the address you're actually considering rather than taking it from the listing.
Lots and What to Check
The draw here is land. Lots of 1.48 acres show up in the record, and at least one parcel borders a five-acre open space. If you want separation from your neighbors more than you want proximity to the golf course, this is the filing that delivers it at a size that still trades with some regularity.
Bigger lots at this elevation also mean more driveway, more snow storage and more grounds to keep. That's manageable, it's just real, and it belongs in the ownership budget alongside the mortgage.
With a median build year of 2004, the first full round of major replacements is either done or due on most of these homes. Boilers, roofs, decks and exterior finishes are the items that matter most up here. Ask for the records. One home in the filing was built by the founder of New West Partners as a legacy home, which is the kind of detail that tends to correlate with how a house was put together, though I'd still inspect it like anything else.
Looking at Braddock Hill? One street and an eighteen-year build range means the specific home matters much more than the filing here. Send me the address and I'll tell you how it compares on age, condition and lot. 303-907-9129 or TZimmerman@SliferSummit.com
Short-Term Rentals
The Highlands sits inside Town of Breckenridge limits, so the town's short-term rental licensing program and its zone-based caps govern nightly rentals rather than county rules. Covenants in the individual filings can restrict rentals further, and in a single-family golf community those rules are often stricter than buyers expect. Confirm current license availability for the specific parcel and read the filing's covenants before counting on rental income. Start with the Breckenridge short-term rental rules. The zone that applies to a specific parcel can be looked up on the Town of Breckenridge short-term rental zone map.
