Welcome to Highlands Ranch

Just 12 miles south of Denver you will find the large suburb of Highlands Ranch, a 22,000-acre master-planned community founded in 1981. The town holds restaurants, recreation centers, a large shopping mall, dozens of schools and churches and over 50 miles of trails. Highlands Ranch has a reputation for its residents' quality of life and amenities and Douglas County was recently rated by USNews as the #1 Healthiest Community in the country. 

A hidden gem is the 8,200 acres of conservation space known as Backcountry. The trail system is reserved exclusively for Highlands Ranch residents only. Special events include the Taste of Highlands Ranch featuring 30 local restaurants held in May and the Highlands Ranch Beer Festival hosting 250 local breweries.
