Building with CARE
CARE real estate development goes beyond buildings, providing families with homes they can afford in welcoming communities.
CARE Communities is an active and collaborative developer of affordable rentals in Northern Colorado. Our townhome and apartment communities in Northern Colorado are thriving, and we continue to invest in new developments, renovations, and services to better serve local families.
Born of an innovative public/private partnership, Heartside Hill will be a collaborative community on the northwest corner of Trilby Road and Lemay Avenue in Fort Collins. Along with affordable rental apartments and community amenities, Heartside Hill will be home to onsite early childhood and youth services, affordable homeownership opportunities, and support for adults with intellectual disabilities.
