Centennial suburb surrounded by recreation and retail

West Centennial welcomes locals to a life surrounded by recreation and retail. Not only do main thoroughfares connect with nearby parks and The Streets at SouthGlenn shopping mall, but they also grant access to major employers, including the Denver Tech Center and Swedish Medical Center. Between Milliken Park on the west side and Holly Park on the east, residents escape stressful days, connecting with friends along trail networks and attending events held by the city in Centennial Center Park or concerts at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheater. With a CAP Index Crime Score of two out of 10, compared to the national average of four, residents rest comfortably in the quiet of their subdivisions.

Coming home to West Centennial cul-de-sacs

Ranch-style homes stretch across West Centennial cul-de-sacs, highlighting the flat landscape. Colonial Revivals join these early 1960s and 1970s homes in subdivisions, with ranch-style homes starting at $585,000 for a three-bedroom and Colonial Revivals starting at $790,000. Most single-family homes peak in price between $625,000 and $700,000, though in situations where their square footage topples over 4,000 square feet, home values list over $1 million up to $2.4 million. Paved sidewalks join Colonial Revival architecture in townhouse communities, so residents can easily step outside and take their dogs for walks. These homes typically list between $410,000 and $548,000, with two to three bedrooms.

Parks dispersed from west to east

Park spaces are scattered across West Centennial, from Milliken Park in the west to Holly Park in the east. Baseball players come to bat at Milliken Park, where children also run from one playset to the other. Following High Line Canal Trail’s compact dirt path, joggers and bikers reach deKoevend Park. Locals visit Goodson Recreation in the park’s center to swim laps and use the indoor gym for workouts. While tennis players can battle out on the park’s six courts, Holly Tennis Center is further east with four light-equipped courts and two pickleball courts. “West Centennial is also a quick drive to Washington Park, which has a few miles of hiking and biking trails around a big pond and volleyball leagues – it’s always packed,” says Mauri Tamborra, Broker with RE/Max Leaders, who has sold real estate in Centennial for over 20 years.

West Centennial commutes and employers

Centennial Airport, roughly 8 miles east of the neighborhood, serves general aviation purposes and is a point of transport for patients and organs being distributed to the area’s four major hospitals. The Swedish Medical Center is roughly 5 miles north, serving as an emergency center and a major place of employment. “West Centennial is about 15 minutes to the Denver Tech Center (DTC), where most people who work in tech offices are,” Tamborra says. University Boulevard cuts through the neighborhood’s center, connecting commuters with the hospital and Belleview Avenue, which stretches east to the Denver Tech Center. Interstate 25 runs north by the DTC – parallel to the light rail – connecting residents with Downtown Denver in under 15 miles.
