A modern housing market

Most of the homes in Copperleaf were built after 2005, with brand new subdivisions currently under construction. "Before they built up the area, Copperleaf was just a cow pasture,” says Heather Henry, broker associate with EXIT Realty DTC. “Now, there are so many housing options that it can easily meet the needs of many different homebuyers.” Modern traditional and craftsman-style homes are common, with some single-story ramblers throughout. Many may have covered front porches overlooking small, but manicured front lawns. Lots are typically large enough to accommodate backyard patios. Single-family homes start in the mid $400,000s and reach the upper $700,000s, while condos and townhomes range from the mid $400,000s to the mid $500,000s.

Homeowners association perks and fees

  • Trash and recycling pickup
  • Landscaping of public spaces
  • Access to the neighborhood clubhouse and pool

A community-oriented neighborhood

On the Fourth of July, you can gather with your neighbors at one of the local parks to watch the explosive fireworks display as it rises above the nearby Arapahoe County Fairgrounds or meet in the afternoon for the annual bike parade. The community also hosts an annual car show, outdoor movie showings, summer concerts and celebrations around Mother's Day, Christmas and Easter. Additionally, the clubhouse has monthly resident socials and community meetings.

Highly rated public schools

Copperleaf is served by the highly rated Cherry Creek School District, one of the most sought-after districts in Colorado. The district offers career-based learning and extracurriculars, with career and technical education pathways ranging from interior and fashion design to digital media and communication. “A lot of people move here for the schools,” says Neelam Shrestha, a broker associate with Re/Max Northwest Inc. who has sold many homes in the neighborhood. “Aurora is divided into a few different school districts, and people will specifically move to this side of town to be in Cherry Creek.” Public schools like Mountain Vista Elementary are within a half mile of many residents. Charter schools like Heritage Heights Academy are also nearby.
