Neighborhood Ties: Highlands

January 11, 2017

map-highland

The Highland neighborhood, also called Highlands, is bounded by Federal Blvd., 38th Ave., Inca St., the South Platte River and Speer Blvd.

“I think people forget how cool the river is, I mean the Platte. We see so much wildlife down there. For being in the heart of the city, we’ve seen bald eagles down there, coyotes, hawks, beavers, huge turtles, muskrats; pretty consistently you’ll see something. I think that people forget that that nature fix is right there, just a 10 minute walk from downtown.” 

– Carl Reichley, Highlands neighbor
