Small-town comfort with proximity to big-city amenities

Lyn Knoll is an Aurora subdivision that found its beginnings in the 1960s, just east of downtown Denver. The neighborhood is in high demand for its generously sized plots and proximity to major employers like the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Buckley Space Force Base. This, paired with its sense of community found in nearby dog parks and local events at Bicentennial Park, provides residents with a feeling of small-town comfort while still being close to the big city.

The residential streets of Lyn Knoll

Drives through the Lyn Knoll neighborhood showcase wide curved streets, modest sidewalks and mature trees sprinkled throughout. “When passing through, kids can be seen outside in front yards and playing basketball along the residential streets,” explains Shay Galloway, a realtor with Your Castle Realty, who has selling experience in the area and has spent time in and around Lynn Knoll. The majority of homes come in the form of brick split-level and ranch-style homes built in the 1960s. Most have fenced-in backyards, with some sitting atop plots of land up to 0.3 acres, which is not commonly found in surrounding communities. Potential homebuyers looking to move into the neighborhood can expect a price range from $425,000 for a three-bedroom home to $550,000 for a larger four-bedroom house.

Fireworks at Bicentennial Park

Residents have plenty of nearby events to explore throughout the year. Not far is Aurora Municipal Center, where the annual Holiday Tree Lighting takes place for the city. Those in attendance get to enjoy live performances from local musicians and groups, a visit from Santa and the grand finale tree lighting to celebrate the season. Closer to home is Bicentennial Park, which “hosts several events for kinds throughout the year,” says Galloway. “As well as a firework show on the 4th of July.”

Swimming at Del Mar Park

Spending time outside in Lyn Knoll is easy thanks to the popular Del Mar Park located in the northwest corner, within walking distance of many houses. It is home to a playground as well as its own aquatic center, which has a small entrance fee. However, residents head less than a mile south to Bicentennial Park to walk their furry friends, as it has an off-leash dog park.

The brand new Del Mar Academy

Del Mar Academy is a brand new pre-K-7 school which has yet to receive a score from Niche. Aside from the shiny new building, students are taught under a Formative Assessment strategy, meaning daily assessments of students are taken to inform instruction from teachers in real time. Grade 8 won’t be added to the school until the 2025-2026 school year; however, middle-aged students can attend South Middle School in the meantime, which has earned a C-minus on Niche. Older students will attend Aurora Central High School, which has received a C from Niche.
