Highlands Ranch is often used in the national media as the textbook example of urban sprawl. Being primarily composed of single-use zoning, residents are nearly entirely dependent on the automobile as a means of transportation. It is on the fringes of the metro area and consists of some of the areas lowest housing densities, along with a relative dearth of office and retail. What differentiates Highlands Ranch from surrounding communities is its massive area and population (if incorporated, it would be one of the largest cities in Colorado). There are few examples of a single residential development of such massive size anywhere else in the country. Some argue that Highlands Ranch is a primary contributor to traffic woes on Colorado State Highway 470 and on Interstate 25.

Others counter that Highlands Ranch is no different from most other suburban development in Denver and around the nation. It is merely its size and population that gives it such a high profile. Highlands Ranch residents tend to be very satisfied with their living situation, arguing that they have little interest in living in higher density neighborhoods. In fact, many in Highlands Ranch championed the extension of Light Rail to southern areas of metro Denver to allow for easier commutes downtown.
