Westcliffe is one of the largest subdivisions in Richland by lot count. The city's plat records show 391 lots across sixteen recorded phases between 2003 and 2018, which is a long, steady build-out rather than a single development push. A separate subdivision, Westcliffe Heights, continued the name with a further 234 lots across eight phases from 2018 into 2026.
Sixteen recorded phases across fifteen years, which makes Westcliffe one of the largest subdivisions in the city.
Between the two, that is more than 600 lots recorded under the Westcliffe name over roughly twenty years. Practically, it means homes sold as Westcliffe can differ by a decade or more in age and code, so the phase a house sits in matters more here than the subdivision name does.
Where there are view lots, there is view risk. Because south Richland still has active development phases below and around this elevation, a buyer paying for an outlook should confirm what is zoned and platted on the parcels downhill rather than assuming the view is permanent. That is a specific question for the city, not a general reassurance from anyone selling.
