Forest Park offers quiet living just beyond busy Denver
Forest Park is only 15 miles from Denver’s epicenter, but 40-year local Linda Nixon knows that residents rarely venture into the city. “We moved to the suburbs because we liked the quiet,” she says. “It’s just a nice, kept-up, private area, and that makes it special.” Families with school-aged children are drawn to the region for its esteemed school district, while others are attracted to the neighborhood’s strong sense of community. “The people you meet here, you end up staying friends with them for a lifetime. Brunch, golfing, movie nights. It’s a very personable neighborhood.”
Forest Park is a highly desirable neighborhood located in Centennial, CO.
Schools are a strong draw for families to Forest Park.

Colonial Revival and Craftsman homes with three to six bedrooms range in price from $500,000 to nearly $1 million.
