Kentley Hills
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Kentley Hills sits in the Southridge quarter of Highlands Ranch, off Summit View Parkway between Wildcat Reserve Parkway and Fairview Parkway, on ridgeline lots where the grades are steep enough to open Front Range views from some streets. Oakwood, Richmond American, Shea and Sanford built here from the late 1990s into the early 2000s, and the stock runs large: two-story and ranch plans from roughly 2,700 to more than 6,600 square feet, many with finished or walk-out basements on lots of 0.12 to 0.20 acre. The Highlands Ranch trail system runs behind many backyards, and Southridge Rec Center on McArthur Ranch Road is about 1.1 miles away, with Eastridge Rec Center a similar distance north. University Boulevard is the working artery, about three quarters of a mile east, and carries traffic to C-470 in roughly eight minutes.
