Mile High Home Group – Welcome to Denver

Highlands Ranch excels in parks, trails, and recreation centers designed for every age and fitness level, creating a master-planned outdoor lifestyle that’s the envy of Denver suburbs. With 15+ years in Denver real estate and thousands of transactions as Lead Broker of Mile High Home Group at RE/MAX Professionals, I’ve shown clients how these amenities make Highlands Ranch real estate a smart choice in the Colorado housing market’s balanced 3-4 months inventory, often tipping the scale over Littleton real estate for families seeking convenience.

Back Bowls Recreation Centers

Highlands Ranch’s four rec centers—Northridge, Eastridge, Southridge, and Westridge—anchor family fitness with indoor/outdoor pools, waterslides, lazy rivers, climbing walls, and gyms ($10 drop-in for residents). Eastridge’s zero-entry kids pool and slide pack summer crowds; Southridge’s lap lanes suit adults. Free movie nights and yoga classes fill calendars. HOA fees ($300/month average) cover access—unlike piecemeal Denver real estate setups.

Resident passes save 50%; book classes online.

Extensive Trail System

Over 70 miles of paved and natural trails link neighborhoods—Southridge Loop circles playgrounds and fields; Prairie Walk offers shaded stroller paths to Roxborough views. Dad Clark Park connects disc golf with sledding hills; gravel routes challenge bikes without traffic. Backcountry Wilderness (8,200 acres) borders for serious hikes. Littleton real estate trails feel fragmented by comparison; Highlands Ranch’s web lets kids bike to school safely.

Dawn hikes beat heat; apps like AllTrails map variants.

Premier Parks and Open Spaces

Civic Green Park hosts splash pads, concerts, and picnics; Redstone Park adds skate ramps, tennis, and fishing ponds. Grist Brewing overlooks fields for post-play parents. 2,000+ acres of open space preserve mountain backdrops—no sprawl here. Strong schools (9/10) integrate field trips; metro taxes fund without waste.

Year-round viable with 300 sunny days.

Practical Access Tips

Budget $20/day for passes; layer for 40-65°F swings—dry air demands hydration. Test neighborhoods: Town Center trails suit urbanites, back villages favor quiet. For buyers, prioritize HOA-included access; Colorado’s 3-day objection checks covenants. Time Q1 for concessions amid balanced supply. I’ve closed dozens where trail proximity swayed decisions, turning clients into friends enjoying steady 4-5% appreciation.

Highlands Ranch engineers outdoor living—effortless and enduring.
