<body><div>KALISPELL, Mont. — On Wednesday, a new housing development officially opened in Kalispell. Hayden Homes celebrated its grand opening of Eagle Valley Ranch, a new single-family home community.Homes in the community range from 1,408 to 3,195 square feet. Houses will include three to five bedrooms, as well as a professionally landscaped front and backyard and fully insulated garages.Eagle Valley Ranch is located two miles from Kalispell's largest shopping center.Hayden Homes says the community adds much needed housing for the Kalispell workforce, including teachers, first responders, and service employees.Thirty-seven homes are under construction at Eagle Valley Ranch."It's a great location, Kalispell is limited on new construction, currently, so the more new construction opportunities gives them the chance to move into a new home and start a life in a new home in an area where they work and live," said Kaleb Simon, regional director at Hayden Homes.With the starting price at $534,990, affordability comes into question.Hayden Homes says this pricing is below the medium average, and a wide range of pricing is much needed for people working in Kalispell."Affordability is always going to be a challenge, but when we can get to a price point as low as we can for the hardworking people of Kalispell, that's our goal," said Simon.As Kalispell continues to grow, local builders say adding homes at different price points will be important for keeping people who work here in the community."As you know, Kalispell is growing very fast, I hear it's the fastest growing micropolitan," said Mark Freidline, executive officer at Flathead Building Association. "It's more important than ever before that we're building homes in this community at varying price points to make sure that our families that work here can afford to buy homes in the valley."Freidline also said Hayden Homes does not just build communities but also gives back to them.The company operates under a "give as you go" philosophy and has pledged to give $25 million to organizations across the states they build in by 2030.As part of that commitment, the company says it will donate $300 for every new home sold, including the homes at Eagle Valley Ranch.Hayden Homes also presented a $2,500 donation to the Whitefish Community Foundation Kids Fund, an initiative that supports programs for local youth, including efforts to address youth homelessness.On Saturday, Hayden Homes will continue the grand opening celebration with a weekend family day, featuring a Big Rig Truck Show, at the new community.</div></body>
