Southern Hills in Denver has long been a favorite community for traditional sprawling ranch style homes in the Western tradition. Most homes were built in the 60’s and 70’s. There are now some new “Scraper” homes built on lots where the original structure was literally scraped off the lot. These homes generally cost above $900,000. But, the original ranch homes sell from $400,000-$1m.
