Wildcat Ridge

By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026

Wildcat Ridge is a Douglas County subdivision at the eastern edge of Highlands Ranch, just west of Quebec Street and under a mile from Carriage Club in Lone Tree, and it carries a Littleton mailing address and its own association rather than HRCA membership. The single-family homes date from 1998 to 2006 and run from about 1,900 to 4,500 square feet on lots of 0.10 to 0.20 acre, along streets whose names borrow from wildcats. The Wildcat Ridge Community Association runs a pool and clubhouse and fields the Tigersharks swim team, Wildcat Ridge Park sits inside the subdivision, and a trail east connects to Bluffs Regional Park about a mile away. Wildcat Mountain Elementary is inside the neighborhood, Rocky Heights Middle and Rock Canyon High are under a mile south, and I-25 is about ten minutes east by way of Lincoln Avenue.
