The Meadows blends convenience with natural beauty

Planners designed The Meadows to be the perfect place to live. In this master-planned Castle Rock community, neighbors walk their kids to school in the morning, convene at the community center for a morning coffee and ride their bikes through an endless network of trails. Locals love the walkability, the community and the scenery, which includes sweeping vistas of the distant Rocky Mountains. "You're very close to the highway and the views are spectacular," says Jennifer Nichols, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty who has been selling in The Meadows for the last year. "Castle Rock in general is just gorgeous, with front range views of everywhere from Pikes Peak to the Rocky Mountains."

Traditional and mountain-style homes with manicured lawns

Picture-perfect two-story homes and modern condominiums line the neighborhood’s quiet residential streets. Houses sit next to each other behind perfectly manicured lawns and paved sidewalks. Contemporary houses can cost $700,000, traditional-style homes can go for $560,000, and mountain homes can go for $945,000. You’ll see brand-new homes with fresh coats of paint and others with wooden fences and an Old West vibe. "What you'll see is a lot of people who own will eventually upgrade to another home in The Meadows," Nichols says. "They begin with a starter home there, and then as their family grows, they buy a new one."

Outdoor concerts, dog parks and playgrounds in The Meadows

Walkability is one of the central principles of The Meadows. Paved sidewalks outside every front door link up with the outdoors. The Ridgeline Open Space, a 370-acre trail network in The Meadows, includes native surface trails perfect for mountain biking. Kids will love the playgrounds and sporting fields at Butterfield Crossing Park, which also has a swimming pool. People shoot hoops on the basketball court and practice their serves on the tennis court. Grab your lawn chair and head to Butterfield Crossing for an outdoor concert. Canine companions will love walking with you on trails in The Meadows, but they’ll especially love playing with each other at Wiggly Field Dog Park. If you’re not a fan of the outdoors, check out the Grange, the cultural center of The Meadows, where you can join a writers’ group or attend a cooking class. There’s always something going on.
