Step Inside the SunSet Valley Lifestyle

There is a difference between seeing a neighborhood on a map and standing inside the place it is becoming.

That difference is what Heritage Homes is inviting people to experience at SunSet Valley in Horace.

When they first introduced SunSet Valley, the vision was to create a beautiful boutique community unlike anything else in the region, designed around connection, lifestyle, and the idea that home should extend beyond the walls of a house. It was designed from the beginning to feel different, while also offering something for everyone.

“At Heritage Homes, every community begins with a commitment to the people who will live there,” President Tyrone Leslie said. “With SunSet Valley, we set out to create more than a neighborhood. We wanted to create a place that feels connected, welcoming, and unique. By listening to our homeowners and staying true to our values of communication and integrity, we’ve built a community unlike any we’ve created before.”

With five model homes available to tour and community amenities already established and taking shape, SunSet Valley has moved from rendering to reality on 66th Street South and 64th Avenue South in Horace. Visitors can walk through the homes, see how each space is designed for real life, and discover what Heritage Homes is building toward.

The Heritage Homes Team

Their model homes are open five days a week in SunSet Valley, giving future homeowners the chance to envision the community in a way that a blueprint or brochure never could. Rather than imagining how the home will support their lifestyle, visitors can step inside, explore the spaces, and decide for themselves if it feels like home.

Their model homes provide inspiration, ideas, and a chance to explore the features and spaces that matter most.

A great home is about more than square footage. It’s about creating spaces that support the life you want to live. From gathering with family and friends to enjoying the quiet moments, thoughtful design makes all the difference.

Built Around Real Life

Today’s homeowners are asking more from their spaces. Homes need to support busy mornings, relaxed evenings, remote work, family time, hosting, hobbies, privacy, and connection.

Drawing on more than 30 years of homeowner feedback and experience, SunSet Valley was thoughtfully designed around the features, amenities, and lifestyle people value most.

Featuring two communities in one, Heritage Homes offers single-family home plans perfect for newlyweds or growing families, along with main-level living home plans, popular among 55 and older adults.

For Leslie, bringing these two concepts together is one of the development’s defining features.

We are excited to bring two unique living experiences together within one boutique neighborhood,” Leslie said. “A homeowner can begin on the Heritage side while raising a family and later transition to The Ranch, all while remaining in the same neighborhood they know and love.

Spanning more than 50 acres, SunSet Valley offers residents exclusive access to amenities designed to enhance everyday living. Designed with gathering spaces to create opportunities to connect with neighbors, stay active, and enjoy a lifestyle that extends well beyond your front door.

“We’re investing heavily in landscaping and outdoor amenities because we believe they contribute to both quality of life and long-term value,” Leslie said. “From the lit walkways and ponds to the gardens and gathering spaces, every element has been thoughtfully designed to create a neighborhood homeowners are proud to be part of today and confident investing in for the future.”

The Forever Builder Advantage

Of course, the community is only one part of the Heritage Homes story.

For homeowners, the building journey matters just as much as the home they will be moving into.

For more than 30 years, Heritage Homes has earned a reputation for quality craftsmanship and guiding homeowners with confidence every step of the way. For many, building a home can feel overwhelming. There are decisions to make, timelines to understand, budgets to manage, and details that can quickly become stressful without the right team in place.

Heritage’s commitment is to make that process feel streamlined and enjoyable.

That starts with communication. Homeowners want to know what is happening, what comes next, and who they can turn to with questions. They have built their process around keeping people informed and supported from the first conversation, through final walkthrough, and beyond closing day.

“Building a home is one of the most important journeys a person will embark on, and we never take that responsibility lightly,” Leslie said. “That’s why we’re always looking for ways to improve. Whether it’s how we communicate, how we serve our clients, or how we support our team. Our mission is simple: to provide an experience built on trust, integrity, and care.”

The Heritage team has helped countless homeowners move from an idea to a completed home. Their project coordination, design guidance, and building systems are built around making the journey feel clear.

For Leslie, those long-standing relationships are central to the way Heritage Homes does business.

“Life is built on relationships, and that’s a principle we’ve never lost sight of,” Leslie said. “While many interactions today can feel transactional, that’s not how we approach our work at Heritage Homes. We focus on building lasting relationships because trust and connection are the foundation of every experience.”

Heritage Homes’ relationship-driven philosophy extends from its team to its trade partners and homeowners. With many trade partners working alongside Heritage for more than three decades, those relationships help ensure consistent quality, trusted craftsmanship, and a seamless experience for every homeowner.

It is also one of the reasons referrals have become such an important part of the company’s story.

With proven company feedback, 98% of their clients recommend Heritage Homes to friends and family, and four out of every 10 homes the company builds come through referrals from past clients. Leslie also noted that 100% of surveyed homeowners reported experiencing no financial surprises at closing, reflecting Heritage Homes’ commitment to transparency and clear communication throughout the building process.

For Leslie, one of the strongest indicators of success is the trust homeowners place in Heritage Homes long after their homes are complete.

“There is no greater compliment than when a homeowner recommends us to their family and friends,” Leslie said. “That trust is earned based on our commitment to them.”

This guiding principle extends beyond the homebuilding process itself throughout every stage of their journey. From the initial planning process to long after move-in day, Heritage Homes strives to create an experience that is as meaningful as the home itself.

The same long-term perspective guided the development of SunSet Valley.

Through strategic planning and investment in the infrastructure and amenities, they focused on creating a community designed to serve residents for years to come. Leslie said the goal is to create lasting value, not only through the quality of the homes, but through the strength of the community itself.

“Great communities don’t happen by accident,” Leslie said. “They’re created through intentional design, strong partnerships, and a clear vision for the future.”

For Heritage Homes, SunSet Valley represents their continued commitment to building with purpose. It’s a place where families can grow, adults can embrace a simplified lifestyle, and neighbors can build lasting connections. A community not only built for today, but a lifetime of fun.
