The Woodgate HOA

The Woodgate Homeowners Association plans neighborhood events throughout the year. “It’s a pretty tight-knit community where neighbors interact with each other,” says Tim Roeckel, President of the Woodgate Homeowners Association. “We’re not your typical HOA. What’s cool about us is that we’re voluntary and really focused on community engagement.” Members pay a $50 annual fee, which covers events and access to the neighborhood pool. The association organizes an annual Easter egg hunt, community garage sales and holiday celebrations. “There are people who are original homeowners of the neighborhood reaching retirement age, and there are also younger families that have moved in in the past 10 years or so,” Roeckel says.

Cherry Creek Schools

Local families are served by the Cherry Creek School District, one of the highest ranked districts in Colorado. All homes in the neighborhood are within a mile walk of Sagebrush Elementary School, with Laredo Middle and Smoky Hill High a short drive east in Shenandoah. Cherry Creek is known for its strong academics, with all high schools offering dual-enrollment options through local community colleges, as well as career and technical education courses.

Outdoor recreation within reach

Sagebrush Park is the community’s main source of outdoor recreation, with its playground area, picnic shelter and walking trails. “During the summer, almost every day, there’s a volleyball net set up where people can just join games and have fun,” Roeckel says. Cherry Creek State Park is less than a mile west of Woodgate and offers over 4,000 acres of rolling hills, woodlands and open water. “We don’t have a ton of water in Colorado, but people will buy boats just so they can use them in the Cherry Creek Reservoir,” says Cindy Dassinger, a local realtor with Metro Home Finders Inc. “In the state park, you can use motorized boats, fish, camp near the beach or horseback ride on the trails.”

Commuting and public transit

The neighborhood is around 18 miles from downtown Denver and roughly 20 miles from Denver International Airport. “From here you have a straight shot to Interstate 225 from Parker Road,” Dassinger says. I-225 connects drivers to Interstate 70, which cuts east and west across the state. The Denver Tech Center is one of the area’s largest employment hubs and is around 8 miles away. Those who rely on public transportation can find bus stops along Parker, Chambers and Smoky Hill roads, with local routes operated by the Regional Transportation District.

Nearby amenities and shopping

Smoky Hill Road and Parker Road bookend the community and serve as the area’s commercial hubs. Shopping Centers like East Bank, Shops at Shenandoah and Pioneer Hills offer grocery stores, nationally known chains and small businesses. Local favorites include:

  • The Angry Clover, serving pub fare and offering regular live music
  • Tradishn Market & café, selling meats, produce and fresh baked goods
  • Cherry Thai Cafe, a popular spot for takeout
  • Desi Bites, featuring authentic Indian fare
