We began forming in mid-1991. The energy-efficient, community-designed buildings were completed in stages between 1995 and 1997.

Sixteen years have given us time for the trees to grow and to grow some of our own traditions. These include an eclectic mix of holiday and celebratory events like our annual OktoberFest, St. Patrick's Day, and Christmas Eve dinners, our annual Art & Talent Show, pumpkin-carving and trick-or-treating, and our annual Earth Hour gathering to name just a few. Regular events include community meals or potlucks, workdays throughout the year, and of course, community and team meetings!

Amenities include a community garden with individual garden plots, common gathering areas, and guest quarters in the Common House. Highline Crossing also offers immediate access to the Highline Canal Trail system (over 70 miles of foot/bike/horse trails, just across a footbridge). There is a wide variety of cultural and sporting activities locally. The community is less than a mile from the light-rail system with easy access to downtown Denver.
