A diverse housing market

Most of the neighborhood was developed in the early 1970s, with a few homes dating back to the mid ‘60s.“Expo Park is within the overarching subdivision of Queensborough, built between 1970 and 1972, and it’s right next to Aurora’s largest park,” says Dan Bloomquist, associate broker with RE/MAX Realty, who has over 50 years of experience selling homes in the area. Single-family houses typically have spacious fenced-in back yards and attached garages, while townhouse and condo complexes feature designated parking spots and outdoor pools. The community has more affordable home prices compared to most other neighborhoods in the Cherry Creek School District. Houses start in the upper $200,000s and reach the upper $500,000s, while multi-family units range from around $50,000 to the upper $300,000s.

Great schools close to home

The highly rated Cherry Creek School District serves the community of Expo Park and is one of the most sought-after districts in Colorado. “The huge draw to the area is the Cherry Creek School District,” Bloomquist says. “It’s hard to find homes under $500,000 within that district.” Highline Community Elementary lies in the center of the neighborhood, and many parents walk their kids to school in the mornings. Many older students head to the nearby Heather Ridge neighborhood for Prairie Middle and Overland High School.

Public transit, a nearby medical hub and Denver access

Expo Park is around 10 miles from downtown Denver. “Locals have easy access to downtown,” Bloomquist says. “Interstate 225 is west of the neighborhood, while the hospital is right there as well. Everything you really need is right there.” Around 3 miles away, the Anschutz Medical Campus is a nationally renowned medical district and is home to Children’s Hospital Colorado, the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital and the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center. The Regional Transportation District operates public transit across Aurora and Denver, and you can catch the bus from Expo Park along Alameda and Mississippi Avenues. RTD also offers a light-rail system, with the closest stop around 2 miles away on Florida Avenue.

The expansive Lowry Park and the CommonGround Golf Course are also nearby.
