What are the best neighborhoods in Highlands Ranch?
Highlands Ranch is organized into distinct sub-communities, each with its own feel:
- Northridge — established, central, close to the Town Center
- Westridge — popular with families, near the Westridge Rec Center
- Eastridge — convenient access and a wide range of price points

Every sub-community includes access to the four HRCA recreation centers. We help you match neighborhood, school, and price to exactly what you want.
Is Highlands Ranch a good place to buy a home?
Highlands Ranch is one of the most sought-after master-planned communities in the entire Denver metro — known for top-rated schools, four recreation centers, miles of trails, and the 8,200-acre Backcountry Wilderness Area. That demand is exactly why you want a team that helps you compete and win. That's us.
Who is the best agent to sell my house in Highlands Ranch?

Does The Kenna Real Estate Group help with downsizing in Highlands Ranch?
Yes — and many of our clients want to stay in Highlands Ranch while moving into a smaller or main-floor-primary home. We specialize in downsizing and rightsizing, timing your sale and purchase together so you are never caught between two homes, and handling the details so the move feels easy.
Does The Kenna Real Estate Group handle short sales in Highlands Ranch?
Yes — and it's a real specialty for us. The Kenna Real Estate Group is one of Colorado's leading short-sale teams, with dedicated short-sale negotiators who deal directly with the banks and a steady volume of active short-sale transactions across Highlands Ranch and Douglas County. Many agents shy away from short sales because of the lender paperwork and back-and-forth; we have built a process around them. If you owe more than your home is worth, we know how to get it sold.
I'm behind on my mortgage in Highlands Ranch — can a short sale help?
It often can. A short sale lets you sell your home for less than you owe, with your lender's approval — and compared to letting the home slide into foreclosure, it can do far more to protect your credit and your ability to buy again later. In most short sales the lender pays the agent's commission, so your out-of-pocket cost is typically minimal. Our short-sale negotiators handle the hard part: working the lender for approval. One important note — short sales can carry deficiency and tax consequences, so this isn't legal or tax advice; talk to a Colorado attorney and a CPA about your specific situation.
