Mile High Home Group – Welcome to Denver

Denver neighborhoods with the best schools cluster in Cherry Creek (like Belcaro), Littleton Public Schools zones, and Douglas County areas such as Highlands Ranch, featuring A-rated districts with high test scores and strong extracurriculars—ideal for families prioritizing education in the Colorado housing market.

Top School Neighborhood Highlights

After 15+ years in Denver real estate and thousands of transactions, Cherry Creek’s rigorous programs shine in Belcaro with schools like Steele Elementary; Littleton LPS excels via Heritage and Whitman elementaries. Highlands Ranch leverages Douglas County for Mountain Vista High and Redstone Elementary, blending academics with sports. These yield stable values through low turnover; medians $700K-$900K reflect premiums. HOAs $300-$500/month fund facilities; hail risks nudge insurance. Market cycles protect them: balanced winters focus indoors, springs host graduations.

Ratings drive demand.

Denver-Specific School Strongholds

Belcaro near Cherry Creek contrasts urban core, walking distance to A-rated Steele sans downtown noise—Cherry Creek families skip Highlands Ranch gates for DTC jobs. Littleton LPS zones offer $550K bungalows with yards near top middles, edging Jefferson flexibility. Highlands Ranch dominates Douglas County with ThunderRidge paths, HOAs securing rec centers versus Littleton riverside. Springs boost enrollment; winters test remote learning. Compared to Denver Public Schools variability, suburbs lock equity via boundaries.

Districts shape futures.
