The Highlands is one of the platted residential neighborhoods that make up the Town of Mead's modern footprint. Weld County and REColorado records carry it under several filings — Highlands, Highlands Filing 1, Highlands Filing 2 and Highlands Preserve — which is worth knowing when you search title, because a listing may be described under any of those names. Homes are single-family, generally ranch and two-story plans on standard lots, built through the 2000s and 2010s. The neighborhood sits inside the Town of Mead, the roughly 5,000-person Weld County town on US-66 between Longmont and I-25, so residents get small-town scale with Longmont about 10 to 15 minutes away and Boulder 20 to 25.
