Around 18 miles southeast of downtown Denver, Pheasant Run is a south Aurora neighborhood that attracts buyers for its excellent school district and abundance of nearby recreation. Developed throughout the late 20th century, the community has old growth oaks and evergreens and well-maintained sidewalks, giving the area an established suburban feel within a mile of popular shops and restaurants.
Most of the homes in Pheasant Run were built between the 1970s and 1990s, with common architecture including bi-levels, ranch-style homes and Colonial Revivals. Single-family homes sit on lots of around 10,000 square feet or less, and many feature fenced-in back yards, paved driveways and attached garages. Prices range from the upper $300,000s to the lower $600,000s. Condos and townhouses go from the mid $200,000s to the lower $400,000s, with units ranging from one to three bedrooms and reaching up to 1,300 square feet.
Pheasant Run has a lower median home price than both Arapahoe and Denver counties, and Arapahoe County boasts lower sales taxes compared to Denver. While the community does not have a general homeowners association fee, some of the area’s condo subdivisions have separate fees. Woodgate Commons has a monthly fee of just over $400, while Sunburst has $200 monthly dues.
The community is in the highly rated Cherry Creek School District, with local public schools including Independence Elementary School and Laredo Middle School. Pheasant Run was one of the original neighborhoods built around Smoky Hill High School in the 1970s, according to Mauri Tamborra, a broker associate with Re/Max Leaders who has sold homes in the area. “When people are coming from out of state, they may not know much about Colorado, but they know they need to be in the Cherry Creek School District,” Tamborra says. “It has always been super-sought after.” Nearby private and charter school options include Heritage Heights Academy, a free charter school serving kindergarten through eighth graders, and the private Our Lady of Loreto Catholic School.
There are a number of small pocket parks throughout the community.
“This is a great area for outdoor recreation,” says
Quincy Avenue, Smoky Hill Road and Buckley Avenue are all lined with shopping centers and eateries, from mom-and-pop spots to nationally known chains. For groceries and household essentials, shoppers can visit Target, King Soopers or Europa, a gourmet grocer with a variety of European imported goods. Sushi Totoro is known for its all you can eat sushi and specialty rolls, while Coloradough Pizza is a local chain known for its takeout pies and wings. Southlands is an expansive shopping district around 6 miles east of Pheasant Run and features dozens of businesses, including big-name retailers, boutiques, restaurants and big box stores.
State Route 83 is close to home and leads to Interstate 225, convenient for navigating the greater Denver region. While most residents travel by car, the Regional Transportation District operates bus routes throughout the area, with nearby stops along Smoky Hill Road and Quincy Avenue. Denver International Airport is around 22 miles north of the neighborhood.
