Ranch-style and two-story homes line quiet cul-de-sacs

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-style 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.

Outdoor and indoor recreation options for all ages

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.

Sky Park at Phillip S. Miller Park offers thrilling fun for visitors of all ages.

Dining, shopping and breweries just minutes from home

“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.
