Wedged between Arapaho Park, the South Suburban Golf Course and an expansive network of trails, The Highlands 460 is rich in outdoor adventure. The addition of a highly regarded school district and convenience to major highways and modern amenities make this neighborhood one of the most desirable in the Centennial area.
There is foliage galore along the sidewalk-lined streets of The Highlands 460. A lush mix of conifers, oaks and other mature trees densely pack the sizeable lawns surrounding colonials, ranch homes and split-levels. Many towering trees sit just feet from front doors and patios, providing plenty of shade cover. Primarily built in the late 20th century, single-family houses in The Highlands 460 are often listed between $780,000 and $880,000. Due to the homes being more established, owners have made modern upgrades to roofing and flooring. Two- to three-bedroom townhouses expand the options for buyers wanting to avoid lawn upkeep or those with a budget between $380,000 and $480,000.
Students here are part of highly acclaimed Littleton Public Schools. The district is the only one in the Denver metro area to have been accredited with distinction by the Colorado Department of Education eight times. Niche has tapped it as the 5th best district in Colorado. Highlands 460’s youngest students begin their education at Ford Elementary School before filtering into Powell Middle School, which earned an A rating from Niche. The same grade was given to nearby Arapahoe High School. Students can take courses at the Explorative Pathways for Innovate Careers, or ‘EPIC,’ Campus. The space opened in the Fall of 2023, allowing high schoolers to get hands-on lessons in careers in high demand locally, including aerospace, computer science and natural resources. The program offers industry certifications, college credits and pre-apprenticeships.
Shade sails cover portions of the playground developed on a rubberized surface at Arapaho Park. Kids will have plenty of activities to choose from, including musical instruments, pogo sticks and a climbing tower with three slides. Locals can get a reprieve from the surrounding urban setting on the recently refurbished tennis courts or a looping trail spanning more than a half-mile. Another outdoor escape is tucked in the neighborhood’s northeastern corner. Residents can step out their back doors for a peaceful stroll or bike ride along the greenway, which also connects to the 71-mile-long High Line Canal Trail. Golfers test their skills on the rolling hills of the nearby South Suburban Golf Course. The 18-hole course provides beautiful views of the peaks of the Rocky Mountains in the distance. There’s also a 9-hole, par 3 course for a shorter round.
University Boulevard is where many locals will find small strip malls housing essentials like King Soopers, Target, pet supply stores, medical offices and local restaurants. String lights adorn the outdoor patio at The Varsity Inn, a neighborhood bar serving classic pub fare. Next door, Taki Sushi is frequented by regulars for its vibrant atmosphere. A short 2-mile drive north along the thoroughfare leads to the open-air shopping and dining complex of the Streets at SouthGlenn. Fountains and a small green space called Commons Park run between stores like Old Navy, Macy’s Furniture Gallery and Ross. There’s also a Whole Foods for grocery staples. Let others do the cooking when the neighborhood’s civic association brings food trucks to Arapaho Park throughout the summer, including True Love Tacos, Shuggs BBQ and Fanwich.
With convenient access to Colorado State Highway 470 and Interstate 25, commuters can easily reach major employers within Denver Tech Center. The hub for companies like Microsoft, HP and Comcast are roughly 7.5 miles northeast of the neighborhood. Traveling nearly 16 miles along I-25 will get residents to Denver’s city center. Access to medical care is much closer, with the AdventHealth Littleton campus less than 4 miles away. There are also public transit options available through the Regional Transit District along South University Boulevard.
A civic association keeps the community engaged with events throughout the year. Residents can declutter their homes during the annual garage sale or help keep the streets clean during community clean-ups. A parade of decorated bikes, scooters, strollers and wagons led by a fire truck rolls through the neighborhood on the 4th of July, followed by a celebration full of games and foods at Arapaho Park. In August, the community park becomes the site of an annual picnic when neighbors bring their blankets and lawn chairs to enjoy a night of food and fellowship.
