1993-1998: Detached Single Family Houses
During this period, Flatirons, then known as Habitat for Humanity of Boulder Valley, focused on detached single-unit home-building. Projects were completed in Boulder, Erie, Lafayette, Louisville, and Nederland.

Violet Hollow
This community in north Boulder consisted of sixteen homes. Construction was completed in 2002.




1998-present:
As land prices in Boulder County continue to rise, Flatirons has been forced to be creative in order to continue to be able to build affordable homes. The affiliate has moved away from detached single homes towards multi-unit buildings, allowing us to house more individuals in less area.

Emerald Hill
This community in Broomfield houses 14 families in 7 buildings, all of which surround a central community area that includes a playground for the many children in the neighborhood. Final dedications for the community took place in the fall of 2006.



Wild Sage
These four units were built in partnership with WonderLand Development Company and Dahota Development company as part of a co-housing project. This exciting new model for community building creates more than just housing - community relationships are also strongly encouraged through several measures, including a community center and community garden, which encourage neighbors to spend quality time with each other. Construction was completed in February, 2004.
