The local housing scene and real estate market

Oak-shaded sidewalks line the neighborhood’s streets, with paved driveways leading to Colonial Revivals, modern traditional homes, split-levels and ranch-style homes. Most houses were built in the early 1980s and sit on lots ranging from 5,000 to 8,000 square feet. Attached garages and fenced-in back yards are common. “I've had three different buyers circling around that area, and the affordability is what stands out, whether it’s a condo or single-family home. It hasn’t blossomed like other areas and been oversaturated,” says @courtney carr Courtney Carr, a licensed broker with Orchard Brokerage, serving Denver since January 2024. Single-family homes start in the low $300,000s and reach the upper $500,000s, while townhouses go from the high $200,000s to the mid $400,000s.

Sunrise Park is within a mile walk of most of the neighborhood’s homes and has baseball fields, tennis courts and a playground. The paved Ridgeview Greenbelt Trail passes through the park and runs about a mile through the area. Spring Creek Park has additional athletic facilities. The Quincy Reservoir lies just south of Highpoint in Prides Crossing and has around 3 miles of trails, picnic tables, a boat launch and piers where anglers can reel in bass, trout and crappie. The expansive Cherry Creek State Park is also close by, with over 4,000 acres of trails, wetlands, beaches and open water. “It’s big for boating and stand-up paddleboarding,” says Pence. “And there’s a really cool beach bar called Pelican Bay, and parts of it are built from the front of an old boat.” The state park is also home to a shooting range, a campground and a dog park. East of the community, Plains Conservation Center has over 1,000 acres of protected prairie, with single-track trails offering views of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains and local wildlife, from prairie dogs to coyotes.
