Heron Lakes is a master planned community located in Berthoud, Colorado that offers a work/life balance unmatched by any other Northern Colorado community. The Heron Lakes lifestyle is one built on recognizing the beauty of our state and you will quickly learn why they call it the “Front Row of the Front Range.” Developed by Hillside Commercial Group, available lots and homesites in Heron Lakes are represented by DJ Johnson, Broker Associate at LIV Sotheby’s International Realty.
It’s easy to see why Heron Lakes was chosen by HGTV for season four of its Rock the Block competition design series hosted by Ty Pennington. Filmed in The Rookery section of Heron Lakes, this community will host the Rock the Block Ultimate Block Party on May 27th, a sold-out event celebrating Heron Lakes and the four competing homes.
The show features top HGTV designers who have just a few weeks and a limited budget to renovate four blank-slate homes within a new development. Using their signature styles, each team of two designers competes to net the highest appraisal on the home they design.
