Kalispell, Mont., June 12, 2026<\/strong>\u2014On Wednesday, June 17, Hayden Homes will celebrate the grand opening of Aspen Creek, a new community in Kalispell where homes start at $389,990 and are $172,597 below the city\u2019s median home sales price[1]. Priced affordably for households earning approximately 92% of the area median income and above, Aspen Creek expands homeownership opportunities for local families to live where they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media and members of the community are invited to join the festivities and learn about these homeownership opportunities. The event will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a model home ribbon-cutting and home tour at 12 p.m. at 176 Westland Drive, Kalispell MT.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The affordability challenge in Kalispell is significant. While the median home sales price is $562,587[2], a household earning 100% of the Area Median Income (AMI)* can afford approximately $422,589 under typical financing assumptions, creating an affordability gap of $139,997. Hayden Homes focuses on creating attainable homeownership opportunities for households earning approximately 100\u2013120% AMI, helping more local households\u2014including teachers, healthcare workers, first responders, tradespeople, and other professionals\u2014achieve homeownership and build their futures in the communities they serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Hayden Homes, we do more than build houses\u2014we build a strong community by helping hardworking families achieve homeownership,\u201d said Kaleb Simon, Regional Director, Hayden Homes. \u201cWhen housing is unaffordable, essential workers are often forced farther from their jobs and support networks, placing added strain on teachers, nurses, and countless others who play a vital role in our region. We\u2019re grateful for all they do and proud to help create opportunities for them to own a home close to where they work and serve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aspen Creek offers single family and townhomes from 1,000 to 2,258 square feet featuring two to five bedrooms. This diverse range of flexible layouts offers home plans to suit every stage of life, from first-time buyers to growing families to those looking to downsize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located near schools, shopping centers, and local dining options, Aspen Creek is a stunning collection of thoughtfully designed residences set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Flathead Valley. Homeowners will enjoy beautifully maintained common areas and access to trails, a community park, playground, sitting areas, and sidewalks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe grand opening of Aspen Creek is a meaningful step forward for Kalispell, providing attainable homeownership opportunities for the essential workers who help keep our local economy thriving,\u201d said Mark Freidline, Executive Officer of the Flathead Building Association. \u201cOur community is stronger when the people who serve it have the opportunity to live, work, and raise their families here. Communities like Hayden Homes\u2019 Aspen Creek help strengthen the Flathead Valley by expanding housing opportunities and supporting long-term economic vitality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, June 20 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. families and individuals of all ages are invited to celebrate the grand opening of Aspen Creek with a fun, hands-on event called Builder Buddies: Touch-A-Truck. They will be able to explore heavy machinery from local trade partners, meet construction professionals, and experience the job site up close through interactive activities designed for future builders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests can also tour Aspen Creek, Hayden Homes’ newest community, and enjoy complimentary ice cream for the kids and coffee for the grown-ups while supplies last. Learn more about homes for sale in Aspen Creek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
