Cherry Knolls is a tight-knit suburb with top-rated schools and parks
Located 12 miles south of Denver, Cherry Knolls is an academic launch pad for children and a forever home for families looking to find solace away from the city. Many of the neighborhood’s original homeowners have remained local, seeking adventure in the bustling parks and recreation scene. Newer folks appreciate the esteemed school district and accessibility to major highways like Routes 177 and 470. “We have 90-year-olds who volunteer as newsletter carriers,” says Linda Nixon, a 40-year resident of Southglenn. “The longevity of the community is important. It’s always been important.” The community of Cherry Knolls encourages participation in both the local garden club and the Parents Co-Op – the longest-operating organization of its kind in the greater Colorado region. “We’re very close-knit,” Nixon says. “We do things together; we take care of our own. That’s just the kind of camaraderie we have here.”

Ranch-style and bi-level homes make up this established neighborhood
Most homes in Cherry Knolls were built between the 1960s and '70s, with ranch-style, bi-level and tri-level builds being the most common. Along South Cook Way, eclectic gardens with towering evergreens decorate the lawns of these remodeled residences, going for between $600,000 and nearly $1 million.

Drive along South Madison Way in the summertime to find porch swings and sunflowers, or meander down South Steele Street in the fall to peek at the half-turned leaves of Tatarian Maple trees. “We’ve really rejuvenated the neighborhood,” Nixon says. “People have brought their kids out here because of the schools, and now we have lots of wonderful young families.”
