HIGHLANDS RANCH

Highlands Ranch is almost a world of its own.  Located 12 miles south of Denver in unincorporated Douglas County, it’s close enough to easily commute to the Denver Tech Center or downtown, yet it is tucked away enough to leave the noise behind.

This master planned community was established in 1981 and has continued to expand over the years. Many wonderful home builders have carved a beautiful, diverse neighborhood. Young families, professionals, and those enjoying retirement combine to create a diverse and thriving community.

The gorgeous Colorado terrain can be explored in one of the newest additions: Highlands Ranch-Back Country.

There is never a dull moment in “The Ranch” where you will find many planned events for all ages. Easter egg hunts in the spring and a gorgeous firework display on the 4th of July bring the community together in a fun and exciting way, and it doesn’t cost a dime. Four recreation centers are free residents and offer state-of-the-art workout facilities, meeting rooms, running tracks and sports courts.
Highlands Ranch has received tremendous recognition for its quality of life and amenities. Time Magazine ranked it #6 among the Best Places to Live in 2016 and was described as a “snug town busting with jobs.”  Forbes recognized it as one of the top places to move in the nation.  The community was also named by Business Week as one of the best places to raise families in Colorado.
