Highlands Ranch,
Colorado
Douglas County
Highlands Ranch is one of
the most successful planned communities in the nation. The master plan for
the community was approved in 1979 which included 13,000 acres approved
for open space, parks, trails, and community facilities.
Convenience is one of the
trademark features of Highlands Ranch. Recreation, shopping, and dining
are within 5 minutes to most residences. Two recreation centers offer
pools, gyms, meeting rooms, and tennis courts. Park Meadows Mall, with
four large department stores and over 100 specialty stores, is an exciting
place to shop and dine. Restaurants abound within the community from
ethnic to home style.
In addition to convenience,
Highlands ranch has been designed as a full service community. Two private
schools, 13 elementary, 2 middle, and two high schools serve the community
with additional schools still in the planning phase. Health care is also
within arms reach including medical offices, specialty facilities, and
hospitals. The community also features many groups, organizations, and
churches. Services abound in Highlands Ranch and becoming a part of the
community is as easy as a phone call.
Highlands Ranch also offers
various communities within the community. Homes from the 100,000’s and
above to custom homes are available. Whether your preference is
traditional or contemporary you can find a home that suits your needs.
