Anthem Highlands HOA Fees in 2026: What $183 a Month Actually Gets You

Last Updated: April 2026

The Anthem Highlands HOA in Broomfield, Colorado is $183 per month in 2026. That fee covers Parkside Center access, community parks and trails, common area landscaping, and resident programming. It does not cover your individual yard, your driveway snow, or the metro district tax that shows up on your property tax bill. Below is the full breakdown.

Anthem Highlands is a master-planned community in Broomfield, Colorado, governed by the Anthem Highlands HOA at $183 per month in 2026, with shared amenities centered on Parkside Center. According to Redfin, the median Broomfield home sale price was $566,000 in early 2026, and Anthem Highlands sits in the upper tier of that market. I'm Nick Ahrens, a Broomfield broker with 350+ closings, and I've helped buyers move into Anthem Highlands from California, Texas, and Illinois every year since 2018.

What the $183 Anthem Highlands HOA Fee Covers

The Anthem Highlands HOA fee is structured around shared amenities and common-area upkeep, not individual lot maintenance. Your $183 a month pays for access to Parkside Center, which is the community's amenity hub with a pool, fitness space, and gathering rooms. It also funds maintenance on the miles of trails that run through the community, the parks, the playgrounds, and all common-area landscaping along the entry corridors and pocket parks.

It also covers community programming. Anthem Highlands runs seasonal events, food trucks, fitness classes, and resident socials out of Parkside, and that activity calendar is one of the things buyers from out of state mention most after they close. For a family of four, replacing just the pool and fitness access alone usually runs $150 to $250 a month at a private gym, which is part of why I tell relocating buyers the dues are closer to a bundled membership than a tax.

What the HOA Does NOT Cover

The Anthem Highlands HOA does not maintain your individual yard, your driveway, or the snow on your sidewalk. Front and back yard landscaping is your responsibility, including irrigation, mowing, and fall cleanup. Trash and recycling are billed separately by the City and County of Broomfield, not the HOA. Internet, gas, electric, and water are all on you.

The big one buyers miss: the HOA fee is not your only community-related cost. Anthem Highlands homes sit inside a metropolitan district, and that district levies an additional mill levy that shows up on your annual property tax bill. The HOA fee and the metro district tax are two separate line items. When I run the numbers for a relocating buyer, I always pull the actual property tax bill on a comparable home in the neighborhood so we're looking at total carrying cost, not just the $183.

How Anthem Highlands HOA Compares to Other Broomfield Communities

Across Broomfield's master-planned communities, monthly HOA dues vary based on what the HOA actually maintains. Anthem Ranch (the 55+ section of the larger Anthem master plan) is a different HOA with a different amenity center and notably higher dues because it covers more programming and a larger clubhouse. Baseline, the newer community south of Highway 7, also runs a higher monthly dues structure tied to its parks and amenity buildout. The comparison table is below.

Bottom line: at $183 a month, Anthem Highlands is one of the more cost-effective master-planned HOAs in Broomfield once you factor in Parkside Center access. Browse current Anthem Highlands listings here.

What Buyers From Out of State Should Watch For

If you're moving to Broomfield from California, Texas, or Illinois, the Anthem Highlands HOA model is probably similar to what you've seen, but the metro district piece is the part that catches people off guard. California buyers in particular are used to Mello-Roos, so the concept transfers. Texas and Illinois buyers usually need it explained twice. The combined HOA-plus-metro-district cost is still well under what most relocators are leaving behind in property tax alone, which is the bigger picture I cover in my market insights for Broomfield, Boulder, and Denver.

Before you write an offer, ask the listing agent for the actual prior-year tax bill on the home, not the estimate, and ask the title company for the HOA disclosure packet. That packet shows you exactly what's funded, the reserve study status, and any planned dues increases. If you want me to pull that for a specific Anthem Highlands address, I can do it the same day.
