Mile High Home Group – Welcome to Denver

Highlands Ranch boasts over 140 miles of well-maintained trails and numerous parks woven into its master-planned villages—paved paths for bikes and walks link playgrounds, sports fields, and rec centers, offering family-friendly outdoor access without leaving the community.

Trail Network and Accessibility

After 15+ years in Denver real estate and thousands of transactions, I’ve walked clients along Highlands Ranch’s extensive trail system connecting east to west villages. Paved multi-use paths (mostly 8-10 feet wide) suit strollers, joggers, and bikes, with gentle grades avoiding steep climbs—key loops circle rec centers like Eastridge for 2-5 mile outings. HOA funding keeps them snow-free in winter and lit for evenings, steps from $700K homes near Mountain Vista schools. In the Colorado housing market, this infrastructure boosts livability and values, surpassing scattered Littleton real estate paths.

Direct links to Chatfield Reservoir extend adventures.

Parks and Play Features

Standouts like Dad Clark Park offer expansive fields, splash pads, picnic pavilions, and disc golf—ideal for soccer practices or family barbecues, clustered in family villages like Westridge. Smaller neighborhood pockets provide playgrounds and dog zones every few blocks; Southridge edges quiet benches for retirees. All maintained via $150-$400 HOA fees, with zero entry costs. Compared to Highlands Ranch real estate’s density, Denver parks feel urban-busy; Littleton leans river trails over playground scale.

Events fill summer calendars without crowds.

Practical Advice for Buyers and Sellers

Buyers, map trailhead distances—prioritize Westridge under $750K for park walks; test peak-hour crowds, check path widths for mobility. Families negotiate backyard trail views.

Sellers, stage with outdoor gear—highlight park proximity in comps for family bids, disclose trail maintenance perks.

My hands-on, concierge-level service tours trail segments block-by-block, weighs school/HOA fits through market cycles, builds pricing from local sales, and negotiates relentlessly for outdoor-rich homes. Clients are long-term relationships and friends, not transactions—integrity, honesty, transparency, and relentless work ethic connect you to the best paths.

If Highlands Ranch parks and trails draw you—or comparing to Denver or Littleton—reach out anytime. I’m here for a no-pressure conversation and honest guidance tailored to the Colorado housing market.
