Fact text
- Highlands Ranch is the most populous unincorporated community in all of Colorado, over 100,000 people living in a place that is technically not even a city.
- The neighborhood's grand mansion was nicknamed 'Castle Isabel' by a rancher who named it after his wife, romantic enough to rival any fairy tale.
- Highlands Ranch was literally designed from scratch in 1978 as a planned suburb, modeled after Mission Viejo, California, complete with a snaking greenbelt and bike paths baked into the original blueprints.
