More than just a hub for military families
The number of employees at Buckley Space Force Base reaches well beyond 15,000, a portion of which includes active-duty members temporarily stationed there. When those members seek affordable homes nearby, they often turn to Tollgate Overlook. The renter-heavy community balances spacious apartment complexes with compact single-family homes on curving streets. A younger-than-average population inhabits the neighborhood, prioritizing proximity to parks, employment and convenience. "There is easy access to the base and many hospitals in the area. Military personnel are moving there, but so are doctors and medical specialists," says Greg Livingston, Realtor at Keller Williams Realty. Those looking for a well-rounded and affordable community with nearby employment and family-friendly entertainment should consider docking near the space base in Tollgate Overlook.

Home to the area’s Little League organization
With nearly 30% of the neighborhood being under the age of 18, having access to parks and athletic outlets is essential for many Tollgate Overlook families.

Residents not playing on the diamonds can enjoy the small playground and swing set or walk along the paved loops of the area to get their steps in. While plenty of green spaces are around, Highland Hollows Park is the go-to spot for court sports. Tennis courts sit next to a basketball and sand volleyball court and are a popular spot for pick-up. The park also has 18 acres of open space filled with lush grass and enough room for soccer, Frisbee or flag football.

Simple homes at approachable prices
Tollgate Overlook has many renters, but those looking to put down roots in the area have their choice of housing. "The closer to the mountains you get, the more expensive the houses are, so Tollgate Overlook is one of the more affordable neighborhoods of Aurora," says Livingston, who has been selling homes for over 25 years. Buyers can find three-bedroom houses with attached garages and private backyards between $400,000 and $600,000. In style to when they were built in the 1980s, the homes show modern Craftsman design and simple, geometric facades. Bilevels and split levels are standard on the sidewalk streets that wind around each other and often end in cul-de-sacs. Privacy fences surround the yards of the homes, enclosing seating areas, trampolines and hobby gardens for enjoying the Colorado sun. Homebuyers also have their choice of condos along the perimeter of the neighborhood. Buyers can find condos anywhere from $175,000 to $500,000, depending on size, style and amenities. They have eclectic, angular outsides that look like they were taken from a book on postmodernism. Depending on the condo association, pools and tennis courts are available, as well as parking lots with a generous number of spots.
