Highlands Ranch, Colorado is a suburb of Denver and has recently been ranked as one of the best places to live in the U.S in 2009. It has held its value with town homes and single-family homes, and there are many different apartments available as well. This is a great area to take a look at if you are looking to buy a home for sale near Denver.
The Denver area is an amazing place to live, and if you are looking at Denver homes for sale, Littleton homes for sale, or Castle Rock homes for sale …. Highlands Ranch is definitely a place you should not overlook. The award-winning schools and excellent business community as well as neighborhood homes built by some of Colorado’s best homebuilders are just a few of its many attributes.
Highlands Ranch is only a quick 15 minute, 4 mile commute to the Denver Tech Center using the easily accessible Interstate 25.(which runs on the east side of Highlands Ranch). Downtown Denver is another 12 miles north on I-25.
The new light rail system is also a great alternative for commuters now, and is accessible in Highlands Ranch. You can catch the terminal (about a mile north of Highlands Ranch’s northwest corner) and be in to downtown Denver in about a half an hour.
The state highway C470 loops west and then north from Highlands Ranch and in 15 minutes you can get to I-70 and be on your way to the ski slopes, great fishing and hunting, and all the hiking trails you could want. E470 loops east and then north to connect with I-70 on the east side of Denver and offers a 20 to 30 minute commute to Denver International Airport.
If you are into boating and lake fishing, Chatfield Reservoir is a popular place and is very close in the Chatfield Lake State Recreation Area (Just east of Highlands Ranch on C470).
It’s no wonder Highlands Ranch was recently named as one of the best places to live by Money Magazine.
