Walnut Hills packs shopping, parks and suburbia into a square mile
Walnut Hills is a suburb southwest of Denver in the City of Centennial. At less than a square mile, it’s small but has everything one might want for suburban living. Walnut Hills is bordered on the east by a commercial district, which serves as a buffer against Interstate 25. The neighborhood is bordered by East Arapahoe Road on the north, a major thoroughfare in the Greater Denver Area and two smaller streets to the west and the south. It also has coveted access to Denver’s Rail System. There are two parks, one pool and a greenway that connects to an ambitious system of bike paths throughout the City of Centennial. With great schools, public transportation, access to a state park and a range of home prices available to most buyers, Walnut Hills is a 21st-century suburb for the 21st-century home buyer.
Park Meadows Mall is one of the area's top attractions near Walnut Hills.

Single-story homes and condos are most common in Walnut Hills
For under $650,000, you can find midcentury ranch-style homes made of brick and siding with three bedrooms, large picture windows looking out on shaded yards and a working fireplace for that Colorado winter. At the top of the market, you can find remodeled late-century bungalows with an addition, four bedrooms, the creek in front and fir trees in back. There are several low-rise condominium buildings near the commercial district, designed in a western mountain style that blends in with the attractive homes in the vicinity. A one-bedroom on the second – and top–floor will run you around $300,000 in a desirable subdivision such as Saddle Ranch. Homeowners association fees are low, also, at under $250 per month.
Midcentury ranch-style homes with three bedrooms start at just under $650,000.
A quaint three-bedroom, three-bathroom home with a finished basement is a popular choice.

Neighborhood parks link students to their schools
A quintessentially suburban feature of Walnut Hills Park is that it connects to the grounds of Walnut Hills Elementary School. Not only can you walk your kids to school, but you can walk your kids to school through a park. And, since the Little Dr Creek Trail runs through the park, kids can also bike the short distance to school. Hunters Hill Park has a playground, a man-made lake and a large open field great for picnics or playing catch with your dog. Hunters Hill Pool is next door and open only to residents, which makes it a popular place for neighbors and kids. Just three miles northeast of Walnut Hills, Cherry Creek State Park is a vast cultivated wilderness of 4,200 acres right in the middle of the Greater Denver Area where visitors can camp, fish and much else.
Hunter Hills Park is 9 acres with a treehouse playground, 2 multipurpose fields, and a shelter.

Light rail and biking lanes link Walnut Hills to surrounding areas
One of the most exciting things about Walnut Hills is its proximity to the Denver Light Rail. The Dry Creek station is on the southeastern border of the community and offers commuters an enjoyable ride free of traffic that reaches Downtown Denver in under 50 minutes. Driving the 15 miles to downtown up I-25 may be quicker but less pleasurable. Walnut Hills is also spanned by Centennial’s 28 miles of bike lanes, and the city has another 108 planned.
The RTC light rail at Dry Creek Station offers commuters easy access to downtown Denver.
Incredible views of the Rocky Mountains can be seen from the Walnut Hills neighborhood.
