Highlands 460
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Recorded as The Highlands 460 across six filings between 1978 and 1995, this group of nearly 900 houses and townhomes fills the square between S. University Boulevard and S. Colorado Boulevard from E. Dry Creek Road south to E. County Line Road. The 25-acre Arapaho Park on S. Adams Street sits inside the footprint, the 200-acre South Suburban Golf Course starts just across Colorado Boulevard, and the High Line Canal greenway runs past the west side. Addresses feed Sandburg Elementary, Powell Middle, and Arapahoe High School in Littleton Public Schools, with Arapahoe High about half a mile off the northwest corner at Dry Creek and University. A civic association keeps up food truck nights, annual garage sales, and holiday parades, and C-470 is three minutes south with I-25 eight minutes east.
