Craig-Gould is small, historic neighborhood in Castle Rock
Steven Thayer and his wife just bought a house in Castle Rock's Craig and Gould neighborhood. "It's going to be a change of pace," said Thayer, the owner and managing broker of Keller Williams' Thayer Group in Castle Rock. "It's going to be fun and different." Named after two of the town's founders, John Craig and Jeremiah Gould, this neighborhood is a 16-block historic district just east of downtown Castle Rock. The butte at the center of town makes the neighborhood impossible to miss.

Historic homes in an appealing neighborhood setting
Thayer says most of the neighborhood's homes – a collection of smaller cottages, Craftsman bungalows and four squares -- date to the mid-1800s and the early 1900s. He adds that developers are buying these houses, updating them and putting them on the market. Sidewalks add appealing walkability among the historic homes. "It's a really different vibe," says Thayer, whose previous house was in the newer, suburban neighborhood of Meadowview. There have not been enough homes sold in he past year for an accurate price range.

Easy access to restaurants, coffee shops and grocery shopping
Thayer says one of the neighborhood's biggest selling points is its walkability. Being so close to downtown, residents can walk to restaurants like Schleppi's, an Italian eatery built in an old stone church with a round stained-glass window above the front door. Lost Coffee and The Castle Rock Collective will happily provide a morning caffeine fix. The Plum Creek Shopping Center is home to a Safeway.

Castle Rock Butte is the neighborhood centerpiece
A pair of retaining walls separate Castle Rock Butte from a set of railroad tracks and I-25.
