For some of the best outdoor stuff Colorado has to offer, check out Highlands Ranch, a planned community 18 miles from Denver. Residents can take their pick of four state-of-the-art recreation centers, two golf courses, or two dozen parks. Or visit the 22,200-square-foot Highlands Ranch Mansion, once home to oilmen and cattle barons. The community is not, by and large, walkable, but that hasn't slowed population growth. A wealth of housing options helps; with prices ranging from $200,000 to over $1 million, newcomers can buy their first home or their dream home. -
