HR HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS: HR "HOME SWEET HOME" When Philip and Kaye Scott closed on the first house in the new community of Highlands Ranch on Sept. 28, 1981, developer Mission Viejo gave them a bonus–a 650-pound steer! “We had to buy a full-size freezer for all the roasts, steaks and other products from the steer,” laughed Kaye, recalling the unexpected gift. The Scotts, childhood sweethearts from Valentine, Nebraska, were living in Sedalia, Colo., before moving to their new home on Coyote Street in The Groves, a subdivision just south of where the Northridge Recreation Center is today. Mission Viejo’s first homes were priced in the $90,000s. The Scotts’ 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1663-square-foot home closed for $90,000. Asked about memories from early years in their new home, Kaye said, “Our daughter, Sarah, who was nine months when we moved in, took her first steps. She wasn’t afraid because it had carpet.” Phil worried whenever Kaye got on the roads to and from the airport for her job. “Snowstorms were always a ‘special event’ because at that time, the streets weren’t plowed,” he said. When Philip and Kaye Scott moved to what was then called the New Town of Highlands Ranch nearly 40 years ago, little did they know they’d never leave the beautiful community. They’re now in their third home. Their two children, Sarah and Zach, and their respective families, also live in the “Ranch.” Highlands Ranch is indeed “Home Sweet Home” for the three generations of Scotts!
