Everybody lives near the park

With major roads intersecting with parkland that make up Horseshoe Park on the eastern, southern and northern parts of the neighborhood that bears the park’s name, you can’t help but live close to a section in the east Denver suburb of Aurora. At 11 acres, there are thinly-stranded sections of the park that encompass a good portion of the neighborhood so that most people live within walking distance of baseball diamonds, a playground, and access to several more extensive walking trails, including one that heads to Cherry Creek State Park.

Changing the makeup of the neighborhood

Aurora, and the general eastern suburbs of Denver, is considered one of the most affordable areas in the metro. “Horseshoe Park is the most expensive neighborhood in Aurora,” says Arash Hajjam, a real estate agent with Your Castle Realty LLC. “A four-bedroom, 1,800 square foot house is worth a minimum of $450,000 if it’s up to date on renovations. Many homes in good shape are over $500,000.” Because of the pricing, Hajjam has noticed a change in the last few years. “Most people still own their homes, but there’s been an increase in tenants.” Sixty-seven percent of the people in Horseshoe Park own their homes. Some condos are under $300,000 and under 1,000 square feet. There are tri-level and bi-level homes and ranch-style homes with full basements. The oldest homes are from the 1960s, but most were built in the 1970s or ‘80s.

Newer construction townhouses

In addition to the mid to late 20th-century construction, some townhouses have been put up in the last couple of years with two bedrooms, are between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet and are priced between $400,000 and $500,000. They have attached two-car garages, and there are newer townhouses that were built in 2023 nearby that have three bedrooms and nearly 2,000 square feet of living space selling for over $500,000. “One of the other changes in the last couple of years is the rise in interest rates. It’s decreased the affordability rates substantially,” Hajjam said.
