Community-oriented living in nature
Willow Creek, a neighborhood in Centennial, Colorado, offers upscale suburban living settled among acres of greenbelt. Featuring classic '70s and '80s properties that sit on well-manicured lawns and plenty of shared recreational spaces, Willow Creek pairs suburban living with the community-oriented lifestyle many seek. "What's interesting is that people move back here," says Liz Waldmann, a Realtor with Keller Williams who grew up in the neighborhood. "We see a lot of people whose parents are downsizing properties that their children then buy." Another part of the appeal is that Willow Creek is near the many shopping corridors that line its borders, giving locals easy access to the nearby mall and many of the eateries in the area. "My short walks here become even longer because I'll come across neighbors or new people," says Juhi Johnson, a longtime resident and a Realtor with RE/MAX who specializes in Willow Creek. With a friendly neighborhood environment and easy access to downtown Denver, locals here can enjoy a suburban lifestyle without being too far away from the city.

Willow 1 also has a few patio homes, while Willow 2 and 3 feature some sprawling ranch-style dwellings with brick accents. Willow 3 also features some townhouses. These three quadrants enjoy HOA benefits, while Willow West does not. This quadrant, mainly featuring rustic townhouses, was primarily constructed in the mid-80s.

Community spaces and neighborhood gatherings
With multiple community spaces and 26 acres of greenbelts, Willow Creek offers locals everything from four private pools to trails that meander through wooded areas along the water. The community's four clubhouses often serve as gathering places. To get their workout in, locals can challenge their friends to a tennis match or a round of disc golf. "Pickleball is also really taking off here," Waldmann says. At Willow Creek Park, kids run off their energy on the playground, and many enjoy walking along the Willow Creek Trail. Neighbors often gather at community events like the Fourth of July parade, and residents with furry friends will want to attend the last pool day of the year, where dogs can jump in the water.
