Just northeast of downtown Castle Rock, this Colorado neighborhood provides all the convenience of city living while having access to stunning natural green spaces. “Castle Highlands has a great location,” says Steve Thayer, a local Realtor who has been selling in the Castle Rock area for 15 years. “You are close to shopping and dining with some of the state’s best parks, and you’re part of a very nice community with a positive outlook.”
Modestly sized single-family homes are snuggly lined on this neighborhood's curved streets and cul-de-sacs, giving it a suburban feel. “The houses are fairly newer, and most are 20 years old or less,” Thayer says, adding that ranch and two-story houses are most popular, and fenced-in backyards are common. New construction plans flaunt huge layouts with walkout ranch and modern farmhouse-inspired styles. Prices range from $555,000 to just under $1 million, but most real estate can be between $650,000 and $724,000.
Students may attend schools within the Douglass County School District, ranked the fourth top best school in the Denver area by Niche. Kids start their academic journey at Clear Sky Elementary School and continue to Castle Rock Middle School, which both have a B rating or higher. At B-plus-graded Castle View High School, freshmen through seniors may enroll in four specialized academies focusing on Biotechnology and Health Sciences, Leadership and Global Studies, STEM, or Visual and Performing Arts.
One of Castle Highland’s most notable highlights is the neighborhood’s proximity to Philip S Miller Park and its many exciting features. “The park is very popular and pulls a lot of traffic from all over the area,” Thayer says. The 300-acre regional park boasts ziplines and ropes courses, an 8-mile trail network, a splash pad, and the Adventure Playground with a 40-foot-long slide and play structures that blend with the landscape. Those looking to test their abilities head to the park’s most famous attraction: Challenge Hill. Rising 178 feet in elevation, the 200-step climbing incline is not for the faint of heart. But those who hold out are rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Colorado scenery. When the weather won’t allow outdoor play, head indoors to the Miller Activity Complex, which houses indoor turf fields, a functional fitness area, trampolines, and a swimming pool within its 64,443-square-foot recreational facility.
“Easy access to I-25 and downtown Castle Rock is a draw for residents,” Thayer says. “Castle Highlands is only 5 minutes from most of the dining and shopping downtown or the north.” Restaurants serve up a variety of local fare downtown, with favorites including Scileppi’s, a family-owned Italian staple housed within a stone church dating to 1888. Breweries such as BURLY Brewing Company and Great Divide Brewing tempt residents with their craft beer assortment and trendy settings. After filling up, take a short walk to several small boutiques and stores like Mod Mountain Boutique and The Emporium to browse everything from clothing to home décor. Grocery and household necessities are available at supermarkets like Safeway and King Soopers, which is the largest in the state of Colorado.
Castle Highlands beckons residents who seek proximity to natural amenities without letting go of city life. Recreational opportunities and outdoor spaces abound here, with shopping and dining just minutes away, all within a relaxed, suburban community.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
