Neighborhood Reviews
The neat streets of Sterling Hills
Homes in the neighborhood can be found in the form of farmhouses, craftsman-style homes, traditional builds, townhouses and condominiums. The houses here sit directly next to each other on quarter-acre lots, with modest grass squares for front and back yards. Residences are built with brick, vinyl and stone; some have front porches with columns. The current wave of development took place in the early 2000s. This is reflected in some exterior textures in the community – brick trim, two-car garages, wood and stone working along facades, and perfectly poured cement walkways. Sidewalks also line the streets here, enhancing the sense of community. Those looking to purchase a home in Sterling Hills can expect a price range from $275,000 for a two-bedroom condo to $665,000 for larger five-bedroom houses.

Hiking at Great Plains Park
The neighborhood’s northeast corner has a 55-acre greenspace named Great Plains Park. On a hot day, kids can splash around in its outdoor water playground. There’s also a plastic play place with slides, monkey bars and a basketball court for pickup games. The park is also home to a concrete trail that links to the larger regional trail system; a map at the park shows an overarching view of all the different hiking options. Residents can also take a yoga class or swim indoors at the Central Recreation Center, less than a mile east of the neighborhood on South Telluride Street.

Academic growth at Side Creek Elementary
Young students in Sterling Hills attend Side Creek Elementary School, located in the neighborhood within walking distance of most homes. In June 2023, the elementary school was recognized with a Governor’s Distinguished Improvement Award, which honors the top eight percent of schools with the highest rates of student academic growth. Both Side Creek and Mrachek Middle School found just outside the community, have received a C from Niche. Older students will then head to Rangeview High School, the home of the Raiders, which offers Advanced Placement courses and has been given a B-plus from Niche.

Cookie recipes and Broncos games
Residents of Sterling Hills host several events throughout the year, including a Cookies & Cocoa event during the holidays, where neighbors can get together, enjoy homemade cookies and share recipes. A 20-mile drive via I-225 South and I-25 North will take residents to the Empower Field at Mile High. Here, fans of the Denver Broncos can support their local team from within the stadium.Commuting from Sterling Hills
As there are no public transportation opportunities for getting around, residents will need a car to access nearby amenities. The Denver International Airport is an 18.5-mile drive via Colorado E470 North, and downtown Denver is a 13.7-mile drive using East Iliff Avenue.Local beer at Six Capital Brewing
Those looking to shop can do so at Buckley Square, a shopping center off of East Iliff Avenue, which is a convenient 2.5-mile drive away. The center is home to a King Soopers grocery store, an Ace Hardware, Starbucks and Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom. There are gas stations, CrossFit studios, fast-food eateries and thrift stores, and Six Capital Brewing, a brewery and barbecue spot where IPAs, hard seltzers and doppelbocks are on draft.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Fantastic buy on this great tri-level home in Sterling Hills built in 1999! Priced well below market. Comps are over $500k in the neighborhood. Needs mostly cosmetic updates like paint and carpet so there could be sweat equity just waiting for you. Sits on a corner lot with some mountain views from your front porch. Has the potential for a 4th bedroom on the lower level in the bonus media room.
