Wildcat Ridge Neighborhood of Littleton - It Really Isn't Highlands Ranch! 

Wildcat Ridge is a beautiful neighborhood in northern Douglas County, CO - and many times is confused by those relocating to the Denver area or perhaps from nearby areas.  Over the years, I can not tell you how many people believe that when they are looking at homes in Wildcat Ridge that they are actually looking at a home in Highlands Ranch.  But they are not! 

In fact, Wildcat Ridge is not part of Highlands Ranch - its community boasts it own HOA and although they do share some of the Douglas County school boundaries, they are not in fact members of the "official"  Highlands Ranch community or HOA of HRCA.  Neighbors yes, but the same, no. 

Officially, Wildcat Ridge is a neighborhood in unincorporated Douglas County that shares and goes by the mailing address of Littleton, CO with and 80124 zip code.  

I have even had home sellers that have told me that their previous agent that they hired to help them buy a home in Wildcat Ridge had told them that it was in fact part of Highlands Ranch.  They were wrong and the fact that they were so un-knowledgeable about an area they were working in was amazing to me, but that is a whole other issue.

This is important to know one way or another, as some wish to live in Highlands Ranch specifically for various reasons and they are surprised to find that Wildcat Ridge is not included.  And they are also some that like the idea of an area that is close to many of the amenities of Highlands Ranch (trails. parks, etc.)- but is fact not Highlands Ranch. 

There is no right or wrong answer here - everyone has different needs and desires when they are searching for a new home or neighborhood.  Are you looking for a larger HOA community with multiple recreations centers and amenities?  Or perhaps you desire a home in an area with a more small town feel that Wildcat Ridge may offer?  

Wildcat Ridge does have its own private community pool and the neighborhood is stunning.  It is located off of Quebec Street, south of Glenstone Circle (the last major cross street in Highlands Ranch before Wildcat Ridge). Wildcat Ridge continues to where Quebec becomes Monarch parkway at McArthur Ranch Road. Here is a google map of Wildcat Ridge.
